This paper aims at determining the price or market value of teak plantations at different ages of stand growth in Côte d'Ivoire. To do, we use both cost price values and expectation values methods. The data required for estimation are on silviculture, teak growth model, expenditures, receipts and...

Tree breeding of teak results in selected clones with high growth. Intensive silviculture is required to support a large-scale clonal teak plantation. Appropriate spacing is one of the methods to increase forest plantation productivity. Research of teak clone spacing was conducted on a...

Most of the discussions of Reduced Emissions due to Deforestation and Degradation (REDD) focus on tropical deforestation, however, the potential carbon saving from reduced forest degradation is mostly disregarded. This costeffective approach to mitigation needs be included in the new climate change ...

The ability to predict the distribution of diameters in a stand is essential for forest managers to make informed management decisions such as prescription of silvicultural treatments and harvesting regimes. Such information is preferably derived from suitable distribution model. This study...

The purpose of this study was to prepare a comprehensive, computerized teak (Tectona grandis L.f) plantation yield model system that can be used to describe the forest dynamics, predict growth and yield and support forest planning and decision-making. Extensive individual tree and permanent sample...

This paper based on survey shows that most of the farmers of the region are growing mainly Horti-silvi (HS), Agri-silvihorticulture (ASH), Agri-silviculture (AS), Agri-horticulture (AH), Homegardens (HG) and Horti-pasture (HP) systems at their fields. Farmers of this region are mainly adopting...

Teak plantations are generally managed for timber production and presently there is an increasing interest in understanding the carbon stocks of Teak plantation. A study was developed on carbon yield table for Teak in Cauvery delta zone of Tamil Nadu, India and field data was taken from 15 sample...

Community forests are forests that are owned, built and managed by the people. Community forests can provide direct and indirect benefits. So that the health of community forests has various cropping patterns that can be assessed from the parameters of forest health, namely vitality. One of the...

Community forest management for timber production requires short- and long-rotation companion species to fulfill the demands of the timber industry, improve farmer welfare and maintain environmental sustainability. Four species (Falcataria moluccana, Neolamarckia cadamba, Acacia mangium and Gmelina ...

Density management diagrams are valuable tools for managing specific forest species. The aim of this study was to obtain a density management diagram for teak (Tectona grandis L.) plantations in the State of Tabasco in Mexico. To achieve this objective, a set of 10 plantations were studied, in...
