Intermediate systems of forest management can be interpreted as original attempts of domestication of forest resources by local people. What do we know about the significance of the emergence, adoption and generalization of this particulardomestication process What do we know about its main driving forces The emergence and generalization of domestication dynamics in the history of human societies has beenmainly attributed to economic, ecological or technical factors. However, this analysis is mainly based on examples of domestication for short-lived plants -grains and tubers- oranimals in greatly artificialized ecosystems. How far do these conclusions hold true when transferred to long-lived forest plants in relatively preserved forest ecosystems
