- [Silviculture in the Tropics: Navigating a Web of Complexity](https://research.silvikultur.com/silviculture-in-the-tropics-navigating-a-web-of-complexity/): 1. Introduction The tropics harbour an extraordinary mosaic of forested landscapes — from the dense, multi-storeyed Amazon and Congo Basin rainforests to the deciduous monsoon forests of South and Southeast Asia. These ecosystems do not merely represent repositories of timber; they are functional pillars of the global carbon cycle, watersheds, and indigenous livelihoods. Despite their ecological grandeur, tropical forests have experienced relentless pressure from agricultural expansion, illegal logging, fire, and urban encroachment. Silviculture — the science and practice of controlling the establishment, growth, composition, and quality of forest stands — offers a pathway to reconcile timber production with conservation objectives.

- [Carbon stocks of the Imperata successional community area](https://research.silvikultur.com/carbon-stocks-of-the-imperata-successional-community-area/): The low density of trees in the Imperata successional community area caused low biomass, affecting the number of carbon stocks above and below ground. The highest above-ground (tree) carbon stocks were found in the Terminalia vegetation area of 33.796 t/ha, followed by the rehabilitation area of 10.925 t/ha, and the lowest was in Imperata grassland area of 3.428 t/ha. The results of the lowest above-ground (trees) carbon stocks in the Imperata cylindrica area were also reported by Donato et al. (2012) on study in the dominant areas of savanna vegetation in the Micronesian Islands Group Yap and Palau. The calculation […]
