Artificial regeneration will play an important role in obtaining a new or restored forest cover. On account of the present environmental situation,socio-economica lan d political factors,th e function(s)o f the forests to be created will differ fromplac e to place;thi s will have its implications on the subject(s)an d method(s)o f (re)afforestation and the choice of thespecies . In order to make possible a good choice for a certain objective andplan ­ ting method on a certain site,a large amount of species was studied. Inpar t A the requirements to species for a certain object ofplantin g are shortly discussed, followed by an explanation to the specieslist,whil e inparagrap h 4 an evaluation of the three species isgiven ,largel y by means of a table. Finally some remarks aremad e about the role of research related with the choice of tree species. Inpar t Bth e description of the species isgiven . Requirements to the species: A tree species should meet two series of conditions to come into considera­ tion for planting: a) Criteria independant of the aimed object of (re)afforestation: Primarly a speceis must be selected on climatic and soil conditions preferred by it.Importan t climatic criteria are temperature (mean, extrems),precipitatio n (quantity,distribution ,lengt h of dry period) and relative humidity,whil e wind occassionally plays apart . Important soil criteria are: soiltype,effectiv e depth,texture ,drainage ,ferti ­ lity,pH . b) Criteria related to the object of (re)afforestation: To come into consideration for a certain object a tree should meet a number of specific qualities torealiz e this object. Tree qualities of special importance to a specified object of planting are summerized in table 1.Whe n selecting species for a certain object, firstly qualities required for this object must be considered,bu t sub­ sequently attention should bepai d to otherpositiv e qualities of a species, in order to perform asmuc h as possible otherobjectives . Qualities, like the ease of seed supply and nursery techniques are not taken into account,bu t they may play an important role in further selection. Comment on the species list At first a list of 300potentiall y interesting specieswa s compiled,base d on a number of publications (NGUYEN VAN THAI?NGUYE N VAN THAN,1971 , SCHMID, 1974,THIÉBAULT , 1961 and STUDYTEAM TROPICAL FORESTRY, 1973). Both indigenous and exotic species from the Southeast Asien region,a swel l as exotic species from Africa,America ,Australi a and the Pacific Islando occurred on the list. The species were extensively studied by means of literature revies,resultin g inth e abondonmerit of agrea t number of species,o n the one hand due to the scanty publicity given to anumbe r of species on the other hand because a certain amount of species was found unsuitable forplantin g inSout h Vietnam. Finally 112 species remained; they arepresente d inpar t B. These species are described asmuc h as possible systematically under the following headings: 1) Name Trade name,principall y according to FAO (1960)an d THIÊBAULT (1961); indegenousnames . Naturalarea ;habitai ;altitudina l range (some times under 3);ecology ; distribution outside the naturalregion . 3) Climate Data inrelatio n with temperature,precipitatio n dry period are listed here (mostly these aredat a from the natural region); also tenderness to frost,drought ,win d etc.;i fknow n climatic conditions inwhic h the species occurs inSouth-Vietna m are listed here. 4) Soil In literature data about soilrequirement s aremostl y very vague and brief;typificatio n of a soil seldom attaches to any current soil classification. Size and physiognomic characteristics of stem (+ bark), crown and root system are mentioned here (if known). 6) §îiYi£ïiïy£S Successively discussed are (if known): seed,nurser y (techniques), planting stock,plantin g techniques (mixtures),maintenance ,an d eventually natural regeneration. 7) Growth^yield The data listed here,ar e commonly not from South Vietnam,bu t from more or less comparable regions elsewere;thes e data should be seen as a rough indication,o f the production of the species. 8) Plotsi_diseases and calamities etc. Only theprincipa lplot s and diseases (mainly from the Southeast Asian region)ar ementioned ; ifpossibl e inclusive the controlmeasurements . 9) i?ood_qualities Technical and mechanicalproperties . 10) Use Both the use afterwoo d and other parts of trees are listed here. 11) Remarks 12) Evaluation Based on the preceding information and the knowledge of the Vietnamese conditions,th eProjectgrou p has tried to indicate where the species may beplante d (see also section 4) 13) Literature The number listed here correspond with the used literature sources in the literature list. Evaluation The data obtained from literature,an d given in Part B are summerized,an d to a certain extent evaluated in table 4. The following headings are distinguished: U -H Ô> ë S fB i-t Q, & a) Climate: Usually sufficient data on climate could be obtained from literature tomak e possible the classification in one ormor e of the climatic types of South Vietnam, as distinguished by SCHMID (1974), inwhic h the species may have a good to fair development. The climatic types arepresente d in table 2. b) Soil_reguirements: Information about the soilrequirement s was usually scarce or absent in the available literature. Sometimes an indication about the soil conditions could be concluded indirectly from other data. Ifpossibl e species requirements to soil depth,soi l fertility and soilmoistur e are listed. c) Soilaccordin g to the legend of the FAO (Unesco SoilMa p of the World (1968). Indicated is the possibility ofplantin g on theprincipa l soil units of South Vietnam, sometimes by means of x if only little is known about soilrequirements ,but ,i fpossible ,mor e exact through a capital letter e.q. D, indicating a subunit.Onl y the four subunits,abou t which information canb e obtained from the description of the species, are distinguished. Inth e case of E and Gplantin g is usually marginal on the soils of other subunits of the soil unit concerned, inth e case of D orP planting ispossible ,bu t growth is generally as good or even better on soils of other subunits. ^ 25i?£ïiY§-°?_EiSBÎi58: 0ne or more objects are listed here.Th e first mentioned object is themos t suitable,th e last one the least suitable objective to be fulfilled by the species. e) Method_of_p_lanting: Method(s)ar e given which are expected to be successful. f) Origin: Indicated is whether the species is indigenous or exotic. s) ?i55îïSS_ÊïESï!èf5£Ë_i5_§°H't:n Yïiï5ê5: Information under this heading ismainl y based onANONYMU S (1935/1936), MAURAND (1943), NGUYEN VAN THAI?NGUYE N VAN THAN (1971). h) Remarks: The signs used in the table are explained in table 3. Considering the often uncomplete or unreliable information, especially about the soil,tabl e t should be seenmerel y as an expedient by the first selec­ tion of species for a certain site. The information of the table should further be verified and tested,an d the extant knowledge and gained experience should be fully worked into it.

  • Species Composition, Diversity, and Stand Structure of Tropical Lower Montane Forests Resulting from Various Human Impacts on the Shan Plateau, Eastern Myanmar
    ISSN : 0917-415X DOI:10.3759/tropics.MS17-03 TROPICS Vol. 26 (3) 71-82 Issued December 1, 2017 ORIGINAL ARTICLE Species composition, diversity, and stand structure of tropical lower montane forests resulting from various human impacts on the Shan Plateau, eastern Myanmar Phyu Phyu Lwin1, 2* and Mamoru Kanzaki1 1 Graduate School of Agriculture, Kyoto University, Kyoto 606‒8502, Japan 2 Present address: Forest Research Institute, Forest Department, Ministry of Natural Resources and Environmental Conservation, Myanmar * Corresponding author: [email protected] Received: May 30, 2017 Accepted: October 2, 2017 ABSTRACT We observed species composition, diversity, and stand structure in the tropical lower montane forests of a hilly region in eastern Myanmar and examined the impacts of anthropogenic disturbances on the forest stands. From our survey of 58 sample plots (30 m×30 m), we categorized four stand types using nonmetric multi-dimensional scaling (NMS) ordination. The four stand types exhibited significant contributions of various anthropogenic impacts, reflecting differences in local livelihoods within different varying landscapes. Anthropogenic disturbances, especially the extraction of firewood, can significantly affect the stand structure of forests and, in turn, the species composition and tree diversity. Some early successional species such as Phyllanthus albizzioides and Albizia odoratissima became indicator species of highly disturbed forests. As firewood is mainly extracted from privately owned forests rather than communal forests, land tenure was also an important factor governing the intensity of anthropogenic disturbances. Species richness and diversity values decreased in stand types exposed to more severe anthropogenic disturbances. Stem density was significantly higher in highly disturbed forests. This was a result of higher numbers of multi-stemmed individuals, which revealed the effect of cutting larger stems for firewood extraction.

  • The Renaissance of Local, Seasonal, and Sustainable Flowers
    SLOW FLOWERS The renaissance of local, Americanseasonal, and sustainable Beauty flowers By Debra Prinzing The Slow Flowers Movement helps The Slow Flowers Movement is rooted in a single question: connect consumers with flowers. “Do you know where your flowers come from?”Unfortunately, It also gives voice to flower farmers, most people do not. When the California Cut Flower Commission surveyed U.S. consumers, 74 percent answered “no” to this query. shining a light on their crops, To a follow-up question that asked “If you were given a choice to buy American-grown flowers, would you?” a majority of respondents–58 practices, and stories. And it supports percent – said “yes.” So the issue isn’t whether consumers want their flowers to innovative florists, shops, and studios come from nearby farms and their purchases to benefit local farm who (like those progressive chefs) economies. Rather, it’s an issue of transparency, choice, and access. My interest in the revival of domestic cut flowers has taken me believe that local sourcing is a core across the country to meet growers raising beautiful crops on small and large farms from Alaska to Florida, from the Southwest to New principle of their company values. England. Many of the stories I gathered have appeared in magazines and newspapers, and finally in a book aptly called The 50 Mile Bouquet (St. Lynn’s Press, 2012), which documented pioneering flower farmers, progressive floral designers, and inspired DIY flower lovers. Then, I spent one full year creating a floral arrangement every week, using only what my garden provided or what I procured from local flower farms in my region, the Pacific Northwest.
