Regeneration of Indigenous Trees in Mgahinga Gorilla National Park, UgandabackgroundThis study examines the dominant exotic species, their distribution and effect on the regeneration of indigenous tree species in the formerly encroached area of Mgahinga Gorilla National Park, southwestern Uganda. The 4 habitat types examined were exotic woodlots, old croplands and natural forest habitat. Research Goals & MethodsIndigenous species diversity was assessed by systematic sampling of the vegetation and soils in transect plots. Available with subscription or purchase |
Regeneration Pattern and Size-Class Distribution of Indigenous Woody Species in Exotic Plantation in Pugu Forest Reserve, TanzaniabackgroundThis study examines the natural regeneration of indigenous tree species in an exotic tree plantation adjacent to a natural forest in a coastal forest of Tanzania. Research Goals & MethodsFour dominant indigenous tree species were identified in the exotic plantation with diameter size classes between 10 to 35cm. Open access copy available |
Restoration of a Coastal Swamp Forest in Southeast BrazilbackgroundThis study evaluates the potential for nine native tree and shrub species for use in the revegetation of degraded swamps in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Bwa Yo: Important Trees of HaitibackgroundThis book, published in 1996, presents important tree species in Haiti as part of a USAID effort to address environmental degradation in Haiti. The trees presented are mainly those in the agricultural landscape, providing food or fuel, although trees with cultural or ecological importance are also presented. Each tree profile provides information and photos including discussions of the species and common names, importance, taxonomy and botanical features, distribution and ecology, tree characteristics, utilization, propagation, and other findings (biomass studies, growth performance, tree improvement, seed research, and/or planting stock quality).
