Afforestation Techniques in Cyprus [link]Paper  abstract   bibtex   
Active interest in afforestation in Cyprus dates from the British occupation in 1878. Immediate steps were then taken to conserve the remaining natural forests and to supplement these natural resources by the plantation of exotic species in the arid, treeless plains. Species of the genus Eucalyptus were among the first to be introduced and, subsequently, many other suitable and unsuitable exotics were tried. From time to time, increased funds were allotted for afforestation, and the history of forestry in Cyprus is marked by periodic intensifications in the effort to afforest bare lands. The most recent of such upsurges began in 1941 under the stimulus of subsidies granted under the terms of the United Kingdom Colonial Development and Welfare Act. The program has since been well sustained under the provisions of the Ten-Year Development Plan initiated in 1946.
