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...

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...

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...

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...
