This study characterised plant regeneration in four old logging roads (700-1 000 m long) in selectively logged forests in lowland Costa Rica, 12-17 years after abandonment. Sets of 4 m2 plots were laid out at 20 m intervals in three distinct microhabitats: road track (topsoil eliminated), road ed...

Ten papers from the full proceedings of the above conference providing results of more complete work on the diverse aspects of regeneration and early growth. The conference discussed the theme broadly and encompassed theoretical and applied aspects, plantation and 'close-to-nature' silviculture, ...

STREK is the acronym for Silvicultural Techniques for the Regeneration of logged over forests in East Kalimantan, Indonesia project. The Ministry of Forestry of Indonesia and CIRAD-Forìt were the lead the institutions. The Indonesian state-owned company INHUTANI I was the implementation agency in...
Honduras or bigleaf mahogany (Swietenia macrophylla King) is the most commercially important timber species in the Neotropics, but it often does not regenerate successfully after harvesting. Effective methods are needed to sustain mahogany yields by increasing regeneration. This study evaluates t...

Regenerating mahogany (Swietenia macrophylla) from seed in Quintana Roo, Mexico: the effects of sowing method and clearing treatment
In 2002, mahogany (Swietenia macrophylla) was listed on Appendix II of CITES (the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species). This requires that all producing countries define and implement sustainable production systems for mahogany, the most commercially important neotropical timb...

Given the catastrophic decline in forest cover, the question of how to maintain forest biodiversity in managed “forest-like” land-use systems becomes a crucial question. This study focuses on the changes over time in forest structure and composition in two agroforestry systems subjected to contin...

The forest resources in Ethiopia have suffered decades of mismanagement due mainly to loosely defined property relations over these resources. As one of the solutions, Participatory Forest Management (PFM) scheme was introduced during the early 1990s by some NGOs. Nearly two decades of experience...

The potential of forest to regenerate after harvesting is a key element for sustainability of the ecosystem. For semi-arid tropical savanna environments, managing resprouts after tree cutting is ideally suited because of the natural ability of many indigenous species to regenerate vegetatively. R...

Embryo-like structures were induced from ‘whole leaf’ explants of sixteen of the twenty investigated sweet potato cultivars on Murashige and Skoog (1962) medium supplemented with 2,4 Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (0.2 mg/L) at the Makerere University Agricultural Research Institute Tissue culture la...
In banana and plantain research, it is essential to establish embryogenic cell suspensions together with a highly efficient regeneration and transformation system. This article describes the development of an embryogenic cell suspension (ECS), regeneration, and transformation for plantain cv. “Go...
