Tropical forests are decreasing at the rate of 16.9 million hectares per year due mainly to clearing for agriculture and shifting cultivation. Timber harvesting results for more than 5 million hectares of tropical forest becoming degraded looged-over forests every year without any adequate manage...

Landscape rehabilitation of degraded tropical forest ecosystems: case study of CIFOR/Japan Project in Indonesia and Peru
Tropical forests are being cleared at a rate of 16.9 million hectares per year and timber harvesting results in over 5 million hectares becoming secondary forests annually without adequate management. This decrease and degradation affect both timber production and many environmental values. Selec...
Tropical peat lands constitute one of the most important area for the land utilization in insular Asia, although peat lands are widely distributed in Asia of 22.2 million ha compared with 5.2 million ha in America and 3.5 million ha in Africa (Kyuma et al. 1986). 18.2 million ha of peat exist in ...

Forest structure and regeneration process of peat swamp Alan forests (Shorea albida) in Brunei Darussalam
In misiones, Argentina, natural regeneration was examined in forests harvested by minimum diameters (MD) and uniform spacing (US). Three years after harvesting, a total of 22,300 seedlings/ha were found in the forest cut by MD, 54,300 seedlings/ha in the forest cut by US, and 33,000 seedlings/ha ...

Site management strategy on the forest harvesting and short/long-term rotation of plantation
Tropical forest area is disappearing at the rate of 13.5 million ha each year, due mainly to clearing for agriculture and shifting cultivation. Timber harvesting results in more than 5 million ha of tropical forest annually being transformed into degraded, poorly managed, logged-over forests. The...
