DocumentBrazilian planted trees industry and biodiversity: A case of success
XV World Forestry Congress, 2-6 May 2022
2022Also available in:
No results found.Brazil is home to the greatest biodiversity on the planet. Around 20% of the world's biodiversity is found here due to territorial extension, its distinct biomes and favorable climate and soil conditions. One of the great allies of environmental conservation is the Brazilian forestry sector, which believes that the solution for the conservation of biodiversity must be aligned with economic development projects.
The trees planted by the Brazilian forest sector are mainly found in previously degraded areas and integrated with natural forests in mosaic planting, creating ecological corridors that contribute to the conservation of biodiversity and serve as habitat for animals, plants and microorganisms.
In order to demonstrate the sector's commitment to conservation of biodiversity The Brazilian Tree Industry (Ibá) gathered information about their associated companies’ projects and monitoring data. These initiatives date back to the early 1970s and it is notorious that this practice has intensified in recent years by the incresead awareness of the topic relevance by the companies, governments and society.
The Brazilian forestry sector has six million hectares of protected natural areas and nine hectares of commercial plantations, which represents less than 2% of the Brazilian territory. The area occupied by the forestry sector, both for planting and for conservation purposes, has positive indexes of biodiversity. The forest companies provide shelter for more than 5790 species of fauna and flora in five different biomes (Amazon, Caatinga, Cerrado, Atlantic Forest and Pampa). Regarding threatened species, for example, 38% of mammals and 45% of birds are found in these areas.
This are some few numbers found in biodiversity monitoring reinforcing the commitment of the Brazilian planted tree sector, and brings the idea that conserving the environmental and productivity is alighted.

ArticleRecovery of tree communities on degraded tropical forests after restoration planting
XV World Forestry Congress, 2-6 May 2022
2022Also available in:
No results found.Increasing rates of deforestation in tropical rain forests have been linked to agricultural encroachment. How well trees recover into a more species rich ecosystem after restoration planting remains unclear. The aim of the study was to evaluate the recovery of communities of tree, assess the influence of understory vegetation like Acanthus pubescens, and Pennisetum urpureum, on the recovery in Kibale National Park (KNP), Uganda. We studied six restored forests fragments ranging in age from 3 to 16 years and three primary forests. Our results showed that although recovery with natural regeneration was more effective than restoration planting the latter enhanced recruitment of native tree seedling. Tree recovery was generally correlated with age so that species density and diversity increased although at different rates. A reverse pattern was found for dominance but no clear pattern was found for tree density. Understory vegetation like Acanthus pubescens and Pennisetum purpureum negatively correlated with species density, tree density and diversity but a positive correlation was found for dominance. Although restoration planting can enhance recovery, understory vegetation significantly affects recovery of degraded forests. This can affect the cost of restoration of degraded areas.

ArticleIncreasing land cover by promoting agroforestry-based tree planting to sustain community livelihood under various social forestry schemes in Indonesia
XV World Forestry Congress, 2-6 May 2022

No results found.The high challenges and expectations in the management of Indonesian Tropical Forests to achieve the community welfare, forest sustainability and sustainable development goals, demands proper management in optimizing the use of forest resources to meet the high dependence of community needs on the forest. The pressure on forests is reflected in the deforestation that occurs as an indication of the various dependencies of the community on forests to meet their daily needs. In this regard, Agroforestry is a potential silvicultural recipe as a solution to restore degraded land and forest that can gain balance ecological, economic and social benefits. This paper aims to provide information on plant growth performance and survival rate in the establishment of agroforestry plot for a total 34 hectares in three schemes of Social Forestry in Indonesia, namely Paru Village Forest (VF)–West Sumatra, Cempaka Forestry Partnership (FP)–Lampung, Tuar Tana Community Forestry (CF)– East Nusa Tenggara, in collaboration between Forestry and Environment Research, Development and Innovation Agency with the Asian Forest Cooperation Organization (AFoCO). It was conducted by planting 26 plant sp Intensive Artificial Regeneration with planting distance of 8x8 m and 5x5 m depend on plant species. The collected data covered for survival rate and height measurement. Growth Percentage was observed at ages 1, 6, 12 and 18 months after plan participation which looks high in maintaining their crops while survival rate in Tuar Tana CF was low enough only 43,2% due to the drough in this semi-arid region which affect the plant growth, eventhough the farmers have high effort in maintaining their crops.
