While slash-and burn farmers convert forest to agriculture, they also regenerate significant areas of secondary fallow forests on their farms. Under what conditions does secondary forest cover persist on slash-and-burn farms?. Survey data from Para, Brazil show that secondary forests accupy 20% o...

The persistence of secondary forests on colonist farms in the Brazilian Amazon
The regeneration of secondary forests (SF) is a promising development within the generally pessimistic scenario of tropical deforestation. The objective of this paper was to document the regeneration of SF in slash and burn agriculture and to develop policy and technological recommendations for c...

Dinamica del bosque secundario en agricultura de tumba y quema: interacciones entre tipos de uso dela tierra en la Amazonia peruana
The regeneration of secondary forests (SF) on previously cleared land in the Amazon is a promising development within the generally pessimistic scenario about tropical deforestation. This has stimulated efforts to augment the value of SF to farmers to induce them to increase the area in SF. The o...

Dynamics of secondary forests in slash-and-burn farming: interactions among land use types in the Peruvian Amazon
Recent studies have shown that although swidden agriculture contributes to tropical deforestation in Latin America, swidden farmers also regenerate significant areas of secondary forests on their farms as part of the following process. This paper discusses the opportunities and constraints to far...
