Short-term growth responses in individuals of four commercial tree species (Laetia procera, Simarouba amara, Tapirira guianensis, and Vochysia ferruginea) were evaluated one and two years after `liberation thinning' in a young (4.5-year-old), dense secondary forest stand located in an agricultura...

Early response of selected tree species to liberation thinning in a young secondary forest in Northeastern Costa Rica
The disturbance and destruction of the old-growth forests of the tropics continue to monopolize attention in international fora and the popular media, but a steadily growing land area is covered by secondary forest developing on sites which have been deforested and then abandoned by their owners....

Ecology and management of tropical secondary forest: science, people and policy: proceedings of a conference held at CATIE, Costa Rica, November 10-12, 1997
Tropical forests could satisfy multiple demands for goods and services both for present and future generations. Yet integrated approaches to natural forest management remain elusive across the tropics. In this paper we examine one combination of uses: selective harvesting of timber and non-timber...

Compatibility of timber and non-timber forest product management in natural tropical forests: perspectives, challenges, and opportunities
Constraints in making multiple use forest management a more widespread land use type across the tropics still prevail. Technical and managerial capacities usually differ for different forest products, market opportunities and degrees of market knowledge. Local communities or small-scale forest op...
