Inclusion of improved forest management as a way to enhance carbon sinks in the Copenhagen Accord of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (December 2009) suggests that forest restoration will play a role in global climate change mitigation under the post-Kyoto agreement. Alth...

Non-timber forest products (NTFP) are very important for people of Central African countries, however they are not adequately taken into account in economic calculation and forest management. The author reviews the current state of knowledge on NTFP, their socio-economic role, their modes of util...

This document describes the application on experimental scale of a silvicultural treatment in a forest selectively logged by a timber company in the humid tropics of Nicaragua. Based on a diagnostic sampling in the La Lupe experimental forest, a silvicultural treatment was designed consisting in ...

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...

Reduced-impact logging (RIL) and conventional techniques (CNV) were compared in a mixed dipterocarp hill forest in East Kalimantan in three blocks of about 100 ha each. Damage was evaluated using pre- and post-harvesting assessments in 24 one-hectare sample plots. RIL techniques nearly halved the...

Tropical forest area is disappearing at the rate of 13.5 million ha each year, due mainly to clearing for agriculture and shifting cultivation. Timber harvesting results in more than 5 million ha of tropical forest annually being transformed into degraded, poorly managed, logged-over forests. The...

The 1300 species of the genus Acacia extend around the globe, from Australia through Asia to Africa and the Americas. These nitrogen-fixing trees and shrubs grow in a range of environments and fill an important niche in natural ecosystems. They have also been planted as exotics in over 70 countri...

The Experimental Station of Curuá-Una is a milestone for tropical silviculture of the Brazilian Amazon. Here started intensive scientific research about the Amazonian forests in Brazil. Since nearly 50 years, generations of researchers related to forest science, used Curuá-Una for experiments and...
