Destructive harvesting of wild honey in Miombo woodlands affects keystone elements in the ecosystem
To mimic catastropic disturbances which have favored the establishment of natural stands rich in mahogany (Swietenia macrophylla), two 5000 square meter clearings were established in each locations using each of three treatments: complete felling; slash and burn; machine-clearing with uprooted al...

Regenerating mahogany (Swietenia macrophylla King) on clearing in Mexico's Maya forest: the effects of clearing method and cleaning on seedling survival and growth
Big-leaf mahogany was studied on nine mixed-species stands that became established naturally between 2 and 75 years ago after catastrophic disturbances (hurricane blowdown, fire, or bulldozer clearing). More than 50% of adult big-leaf mahogany trees had survived a severe hurricane, leaving 2.8 se...

Regeneration, growth and sustainability of mahogany in Mexico's Yucatan forests
Mozambique’s Niassa Reserve contains Africa’s best preserved miombo woodlands. Half of
the households there gather wild honey from natural hives for consumption and income. However, most
collectors used destructive techniques: setting fire to the grasses under the
hive tree to create smoke and...
