Ecology and management of mahogany (Swietenia macrophyllaKing) in the Chimanes Forest, Beni, Bolivia Is there a future for mahogany?Edited by Andrew MacLellan
Abstract:Mahogany (Sruiclenia marrophrlla King) regenerates in areas of erosion on high terraces and in forest killed by flooding and deposition of alluvial sediments in the Chmanes Forest, Bolivia. These hydrological disturbances are patchy, and only one of five stands of mahogany that we inventoried was regenerating. Mahogany survives these disturbances significantly better than the common tree species. The long time between disturbances appears to favour late maturation. Mahogany trees allocate little photosynthates… Show more
