Martínez Prera, A.Finegan, B.Snook, L.K.[Using dendro-ecology to determine growth rates and timber yields from Swietenia macrophylla and Cedrela odorata in community managed forest concesssions in Guatamala]Using dendro-ecology to determine growth rates and timber yields from Swietenia macrophylla and Cedrela odorata in community managed forest concesssions in Guatamala

The genetic structure and genetic diversity of Mexican populations of Swietenia macrophylla were evaluated. In Mexico, this neotropical tree reaches its northernmost distribution limit. The relationship between genetic diversity and geographic position (longitude, latitude) of four populations...

Mahogany has become the flagship species in debates about the feasibility of sustainable forest management in the tropics. Communities that own and control approximately 500,000 ha of permanent forest estate in Quintana Roo, Mexico, and an NGO that manages over 100,000 ha in neighboring Belize, h...

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...

To mimic catastrophic disturbances which favor the natural regeneration of mahogany, eight 5000 m2 clearings were established in production forests in Quintana Roo, Mexico using each of three treatments: complete felling; slashing, felling and burning; or machine-clearing, which uprooted all prio...

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...

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 ...
