CIFOR-ICRAF s’attaque aux défis et aux opportunités locales tout en apportant des solutions aux problèmes mondiaux concernant les forêts, les paysages, les populations et la planète.

Nous fournissons des preuves et des solutions concrètes pour transformer l’utilisation des terres et la production alimentaire : conserver et restaurer les écosystèmes, répondre aux crises mondiales du climat, de la malnutrition, de la biodiversité et de la désertification. En bref, nous améliorons la vie des populations.

CIFOR-ICRAF publie chaque année plus de 750 publications sur l’agroforesterie, les forêts et le changement climatique, la restauration des paysages, les droits, la politique forestière et bien d’autres sujets encore, et ce dans plusieurs langues. .

CIFOR–ICRAF publishes over 750 publications every year on agroforestry, forests and climate change, landscape restoration, rights, forest policy and much more – in multiple languages.

CIFOR–ICRAF addresses local challenges and opportunities while providing solutions to global problems for forests, landscapes, people and the planet.

We deliver actionable evidence and solutions to transform how land is used and how food is produced: conserving and restoring ecosystems, responding to the global climate, malnutrition, biodiversity and desertification crises. In short, improving people’s lives.

Methods and procedures for defining best silvicultural practices and management regimes for fast-growing tree plantations

Exporter la citation

Fast grwoing tree species have been used in many tropical countries for a variety of production purposes, including timber wood (as monoculture and as mixture of various species), silvopastoril (combined with cattle), agroforestry (combined with coffee culture mainly), and with other purposes such as soil enrichment, livingfences (wind breakers), erosion mitigation, etc. Several studies have been carried out on native and excotic multipurpose species, including adaptability tests, nursery production - genetic improvement, plantation management, stand growth and yield etc. Procedures for developing and evaluating stand density indicators, competition indices, merchantable volume equations, prunning and thinning methodologies, among others, are discussed on this paper, aiming at facilitating silvicultural management tools for the intensive culture of fast growing tree species. Experiences developing management guidelines for Tectona grandis, Bombacopsis quianta, and Terminalia amazonia under different scenarios are discussed in this paper, based on several case studies carried out during the last 10 years on private farms and companies of small (10 ha) and large (3000 ha) size in different regions of Costa Rica.
