In this paper, we present an intensification model based on the intensity of exploitation and use of forests and forest lands as a relevant framework for analysing the appearance, dynamics, and evolution of different types of secondary forests. The systematic driving forces responsible for the di...

Studies in secondary forest in Latin America have largely been confined to terra firme lands. This paper reports on a study of dynamics of secondary forest and its interactions with land use for agriculture and utilization of primary forest in the floodplains of the Uyacali and Amazon rivers in P...


Jong, W. de[Secondary forest dynamics in the Amazon floodplain in Peru]Secondary forest dynamics in the Amazon floodplain in Peru

Results based on a socioeconomic survey on flood plain forest fallows are presented. The study was aimed at identifying the factors influencing people's decisions on land use and forest resource utilisation, and to provide some preliminary biophysical information. It was found that 93% of local l...

Swidden agriculture in tropical Asia is a diverse practice, making it difficult to draw general conclusions on trends of the development of swidden fallow secondary forests (SFSF). There is, however, sufficient evidence to recognise trends of a gradual intensification often through the incorporat...


Jong, W. deChokkalingam, U.Perera, G.A.D.[The evolution of swidden fallow secondary forests in Asia]The evolution of swidden fallow secondary forests in Asia

Estimates of the area of swidden fallow secondary forest in Indonesia are inaccurate, partly because swidden agricultural practices giving rise to the secondary forest are heterogeneous. Throughout Indonesia, swidden agriculture is evolving into more intensive land use. A mixed secondary forest t...

This special issue brings together 15 papers entirely dedicated to secondary forests in tropical Asia: 1. Tropical secondary forests in Asia: introduction and synthesis. 2. A conceptual framework for the assessment of tropical secondary forest dynamics and sustainable development potential in Asi...
