To determine the regeneration dynamics and growth rate of mahogany in the natural tropical forests of Quintana Roo, oral histories were used to find essentially even-aged stands that had become established naturally between 2 and 75 years ago, after a hurricane, forest fires, or mechanical distru...

Mahogany has become the flagship species in debates about the feasibility of sustainable forest management in the tropics. Communities that own and control approximately 500,000 ha of permanent forest estate in Quintana Roo, Mexico, and an NGO that manages over 100,000 ha in neighboring Belize, h...

Bolivia implemented an extensive reform of their forestry sector during the 1990s. Starting five years later, we evaluated the degree of adoption of sustainable forest management practices (SFM) by timber concessionaires in Bolivia and investigated the factors influencing their adoption. Data wer...

Four years of annual diameter measurements of 75 big-leaf mahogany (Swietenia macrophylla King) trees in natural forests in northwestern Belize were analyzed to determine growth rates. Mean diameter increment among the sample trees exceeded 1 cm y-1, with slightly higher growth rates among trees ...

The most important timber species in Neotropics, mahogany (Swietenia macrophylla) is still harvested from natural forests. The difficulty of ensuring its regeneration in logged-over forests was a primary reason for listing this species in CITES appendix II in 2003, requiring producer countries to...

The annual diameter measurements four years of 75 big-leaf mahogany (Swietenia macrophylla King) trees in natural forests in northwestern Belize were analyzed to determine growth rates. Mean diameter increment exceeded 1 cm year-1, with slightly higher growth rates in trees > 50 cm dbh. Inter-ind...

Barriers to successful adoption of novel silvicultural practices are rarely just technical in nature. Simply put, why do some forest users practice better silviculture than others? Diverse perspectives in the social sciences have been brought to bear on this question, but most efforts suffer from...

Sapelli (Entandrophragma cylindricum) and tali (Erythrophleum suaveolens) are among the most important timber species harvested from Congo Basin forests. They also host edible caterpillars, Imbrasia oyemensis and Cirina forda, respectively, which are important to the nutrition and income of rural...
