Predictor of tree growth in damar agroforests

Export citation

Damar agroforest (Lampung, Sumatra) are multi-species, multi-strata plantations made up of a mosaic of individually owned - individually managed plots (Michon and de Foresta 1995). Damar (Shorea javanica), the main species is tapped for its resin and usually accounts for more than 60% of the total basal area. Many other tree species are also found including fruit trees, legume trees and timber trees. They are either actively tended or just tolerated to regrow from the natural regeneration. Little is known on the functional ecology and optimal management of such complex agroforests. We give here a first account of long-term measurements that were carried out from 1993 to 1998.
