We discuss the main ecological factors that influence tree recruitment in neotropical moist-and wet forests within the context of timber management based on selective logging. We argue that setting aside protection areas in managed forests as a way to preserve ecological processes may not be suff...

Ecological knowledge of regeneration from seed in neotropical forest trees: implications for natural forest management
There is growing consensus that the expanding scope of tropical forestry is not properly reflected in the way students are being trained. Forestry graduates across the tropics remain poorly equipped on how to engage with local stakeholders, on the technical and economic aspects of multiple-use ma...

Mejoramiento de la educación forestal universitaria: debe prestarse más atención a los productos forestales no maderables?
The success of multiple forest management systems is contingent on a variety of social, economic, biophysical, and institutional factors, including the integration of timber and non-timber forest product (NTFP) extraction and management. Selective logging for timber is increasingly taking place i...

Seed and seedling ecology of tree species in neotropical secondary forests: management implications
The relationship between tropical forests and global climate change has so far focused on mitigation, while much less emphasis has been placed on how management activities may help forest ecosystems adapt to this change. This paper discusses how tropical forestry practices can contribute to maint...
La relación entre los bosques tropicales y el cambio climático global se ha centrado más en la mitigación, mientras que se ha prestado menos atención a cómo las actividades de manejo pueden ayudar a los ecosistemas forestales a adaptarse a dicho cambio. Este documento discute la manera en que alg...

Multiple-use forest management, which includes timber, non-timber forest products, and environmental services, is considered a promising tropical conservation and development strategy. In the tri-national frontier region of Madre de Dios (Peru), Acre (Brazil), and Pando (Bolivia) in Western Amazo...

Evaluating the opportunities and limitations to multiple use of Brazil nuts and timber in Western Amazonia
The “Proyecto Pavo” is a project dedicated to the conservation of the Ocellated Turkey (Meleagris ocellata) through sustainable use of the species in multiple-use, community-managed forest concessions of the Maya Biosphere Reserve in Petén, Guatemala. Since 2000, the project has conducted selecti...
