The amount of carbon released to the atmosphere as a result of deforestation is determined,
in part, by the amount of carbon held in the biomass of the forests converted to other uses …

Estimates of the sequestering of carbon by secondary forests–which occupy almost half the
deforested area of the Brazilian Amazon–will be improved by the use of accurate allometric …

Biomass content and turnover rate were estimated for a lowland wet rain forest in French
Guiana. A regression model relating the biomass of a tree to its dbh (diameter at breast …

This paper examines the role of soil fertility and land-use history on the rates of forest
successional regrowth in five regions of the Amazon Basin. Sites are located in the …

La serie Manuales Técnicos sintetizan las implicancias prácticas y resultados de las
investigaciones y de proyectos en el ámbito de la ciencia agroforestal que están aptos para …

Many research projects require accurate delineation of different secondary succession (SS)
stages over large regions/subregions of the Amazon basin. However, the complexity of …

Over the past three decades, large expanses of forest in the Amazon Basin were converted
to pasture, many of which later degraded to woody fallows and were abandoned. While the …

Tree aboveground biomass (AGB) distribution and carbon storage in different DBH
(diameter at breast height) classes were compared between natural semi-evergreen forest …

Tropical secondary forests created by swidden-fallow agriculture cover extensive areas in
the humid tropics and yield significant ecological and economic benefits, yet forest fallowing …

The study of tropical secondary forests, and of the time taken for them to revert to
'primary'forest, is of increasing importance given the current global destruction of tropical …
