Factors related to site selection for planting multipurpose trees are outlined and discussed as well as land classification, land capability classification, the land site index method and land evaluation. "Gaps and present knowledge" and "research needed" are treated jointly in general and with respect to tropical Asia, while "potential applications" are covered in a separate section. Recommendations for regional research in tropical Asia are: (1) systematic assembly of available data; (2) trials along selected environmental gradients and (3) recording of all trial sites on a standardized environmental data base
