Abstract | Interest in establishing biological-based economies has cre-ated increasing and rapidly moving demand for wood and fibre from production forests. Meeting the global demand for timber supply will require investment and development across all components of the supply chain but will ultimately rely on the ability of the forestry sector to increase produc-tivity without compromising the sustainability of plantation management. To address this issue in the context of New Zealand forestry, a trial series was established from 2015 to 2018 to accelerate plantation forest growth by exploring cur-rent and future limitations to timber productivity, then alter-ing management practices to overcome these limits. The six sites in this Accelerator trial series were planted with a mix of 12 different types of Pinus radiata D. Don stock expressing various traits related to tree growth, health and wood quality. The planting stock included ten clones, a hybrid and a seed lot representing a widely planted tree stock used through-out New Zealand. At each trial site a range of treatments were applied, including a control. The treatments were de-signed to address the specific current and predicted limi-tations to productivity at each location, with consideration for environmental sustainability and impacts on wood qual-ity. Additional site-specific treatments will be implemented across the approximately 30-year life span of each trial. Here we present data describing both the pre-harvest and time zero state of at each trial site. These data provide a baseline that will enable treatment responses to be holistically under-stood as the trial series matures. This comparison will de-termine if current tree productivity has been enhanced, and if improvements in site characteristics may also benefit fu-ture rotations. The Accelerator trials represent an ambitious research goal that will take planted forest productivity to a new level of enhanced long-term forest productivity without compromising the sustainable management of future forests.(c) 2023 The Author(s).

Funding to publish the data came from the Resilient Forest program, which is funded by New Zealand Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment (MBIE) Strategic Science Investment Fund, and in part by the New Zealand Forest Growers Levy Trust (C04 x 1703). Data collection was funded by the "Growing Confidence in Forestry's Future" research programme, which was jointly funded by the New Zealand Ministry of Business Information and Employment (MBIE) and the New Zealand Forest Growers Levy Trust (C04 x 1306). Funding for the soil spectroscopy testing came from Resilient Forest program (C04 x 1703) and the Tree-Root-Microbiome programme, which is funded by MBIE's Endeavour Fund and in part by the New Zealand Forest Growers Levy Trust (C04 x 2002). The authors thank the forest companies who host each Ac-celerator trial and the many Scion staff who have contributed towards the soil sample collection and testing.
