Seed and seedling ecology of tree species in neotropical secondary forests: management implications
The continuous monitoring from 1988 to 1995 of thinned and control Okoumé stands in the coastal forest of Gabon helps to evaluate the relevance of silvicultural treatment with regard to sustainable management. The stands, almost even-aged, are grouped according to their ages. The homogeneity of s...
C. H. Cannon et al. report an increase in tree diversity 8 years after selective logging in Borneo. These results accord with theoretical expectations and with previous observations; however, the significance of these findings is debatable. Cannon et al.'s analyses are confounded by differences i...

To understand the potential role of forest products in household livelihoods, a study of the woodcraft industry in Zimbabwe was initiated. The woodcraft industry has increased steadily since the late 1980s. The factors driving the upsurge in the woodcraft industry are: (1) the increased demand by...

From a study conducted in Pasoh Forest Reserve, 149 tree species in 92 genera and 38 families, all trees with a diameter breast height (dbh) of 1 cm or above were enumerated in a one hectare plot. The most abundant species was Ficus fistulosa across all dbh classes followed by Monocarpia marginal...

Preliminary results of a field study in Pucallpa, Peruvian Amazon, to determine the establishment of six native forest tree species of economic value on degraded areas abandoned after intensive past agricultural use are reported. Study sites were on slash-and-burn farms partially covered with aba...

6 native forest species were tested in two assays of initial adaptability at 25 and 7 months old. The experimental sites were situated in two degraded and abandoned sectors of intensive agricultural and cattle use in the tropical area of Pucallpa, capital of Ucayali. We measured and analyzed the ...
Researchers frequently compare rates of change based on counts (e.g. mortality, germination, infection, recruitment). The estimation of mortality and recruitment rates from tree census data have been discussed elsewhere. However, rather than estimating absolute rates, researchers may often need t...

Ten papers from the full proceedings of the above conference providing results of more complete work on the diverse aspects of regeneration and early growth. The conference discussed the theme broadly and encompassed theoretical and applied aspects, plantation and 'close-to-nature' silviculture, ...
