The Lembo System: A Model for Agroforestry in Dipterocarp Forest Ecosystems of East KalimantanbackgroundThis article describes the Lembo system of agroforestry, a traditional practice by the Dayak people in East Kalimantan, Indonesia. In Lembo gardens, around 127 species of woody plants are cultivated, and up to 40 different species can be found per 0.25 ha 90% of which are trees. In those gardens, there is also a large diversity of wild, uncultivated plants. Available with subscription or purchase |
Species-Specific Tree Water Use Characteristics in Reforestation Stands in the PhilippinesBackgroundThe need for reforestation is becoming increasingly evident in countries like the Philippines where deforestation has lead to a scarcity of wood and other forest commodities. One concern with reforestation is the reduction in streamflow and groundwater recharge as trees move water from the ground into the atmosphere. Available with subscription or purchase |
Survival and Growth of Under-Planted Trees: A Meta-Analysis Across four BiomesbackgroundThis article is a meta-analysis synthesizing the results of survival and growth of under-planted trees in forests in tropical, temperate coastal, boreal, and temperate deciduous forests. Additionally, the survival and growth of these underplanted trees are evaluated according to the silvicultural treatment affecting density of the overstory: uncut, dense shelterwood, intermediate density shelterwood, light density shelterwood, clear cut.

Variability and Grouping of Leaf Traits in Multi-Species Reforestation (Leyte, Philippines)backgroundResearch on functional diversity is an important part in ongoing efforts to identify appropriate native tree species for reforestation projects. Increasing understanding of easy to measure physiological characteristics, such as specific leaf area, can help predict a variety of functional characteristics as well as growth perfromance.

Ecología experimental y ecofisiología: bases para el uso sostenible de los recursos naturales de las zonas áridas neo-tropicales (Experimental ecology and ecophysiology in dry tropical forests)El autor recoge los resultados más relevantes que han permitido la resolución de algunos problemas de producción vegetal, que pueden ser utilizados como herramientas fundamentales de planificación para la producción en las tierras secas en el noroeste Venezuela. Las condiciones edáficas y climáticas que caracterizan las zonas áridas y semiáridas tropicales las colocan entre los ecosistemas más frágiles del mundo y más susceptibles a la desertificación.
