Tree growth is variable because it depends on the genetic heritage of individuals, their environment, the stage of development and the action of man. The objective of this study is to present an updated and comprehensive review of the state of the art on growth and yield of forest plantations, which identifies the research conducted and aspects that remain unknown. The planted forest area worldwide increased considerably between 1990 and 2015 from 167.5 to 277.9 M ha; in 2012, worldwide, 46.3% of industrial roundwood came from forest plantations. In recent years there has been increased interest in understanding the effects of the environment on wood properties; the productivity of forest plantations is a function of supply, harvest and resource use efficiency; several different traits can be modified through genetic improvement, such as more vigorous growth, resistance to pests or diseases, or product quality. It is essential to know the biology of the species to be established in plantations and the agro-ecological characteristics of the area to be planted, in addition to defining the destination objectives of the production. Research should provide a more complete understanding of the physiological processes, the efficiency of the use of resources that control the development of wood, and the genetic improvement.
