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...

Annual early fire, selective tree cutting and exclusion of grazing are currently used as management tools in the Sudanian savanna of Burkina Faso although their longterm effects on seedling recruitment are poorly documented. A factorial experiment involving fire, grazing and cutting, each with t...

While slash-and burn farmers convert forest to agriculture, they also regenerate significant areas of secondary fallow forests on their farms. Under what conditions does secondary forest cover persist on slash-and-burn farms?. Survey data from Para, Brazil show that secondary forests accupy 20% o...

The documented silvicultural experience in the Peruvian Amazon dates back several decades with methods such as enrichment plantings, open plantations, agroforestry systems and management of natural regeneration of some commercial timber species. However, much of the known experiences are barely d...

The article followed the establishment and growth response of 13 commercial tree species to canopy opening, above-ground biomass removal, and experimental burns of low and high intensities in a lowland dry forest in Bolivia. Three patterns of response to treatments were observed among the most ab...
