“…Of these, 90% re-emerged after the cutting of young seedlings and in 70% of the species more than 90% of mature individuals sprouted after the cutting. In contrast, for mature Quercus petraea (Fagaceae) individuals in European forests, the probability of sprout out diminished with the increase in diameter [37], which may mean that the age X diameter relationship, may have a maximum level related to the ability to regrow.…”

Rosewood (Aniba rosaeodora Ducke) is an endangered tree that produces essential oil of high commercial value. However, technical-scientific knowledge about cultivation is scarce and studies are needed to examine the management viability. The current study evaluated rosewood aboveground biomass management, measuring the export of nutrients resulting from harvesting and testing sustainable management models. The crown of 36 rosewood trees were pruned and 108 trees cut at 50 cm above the soil in two regions in Central Amazonia. Post-harvest performance of sprouting shoots was evaluated and after, sprouting shoots were pruned so that the development of two, three and all shoots was permitted. Nutrient stock estimation was calculated as the product of mass and nutrient concentration, which allowed nutritional replacement to be estimated. The pruning facilitates regrowth by 40.11% of the initial mass while by cut regrow 1.45%. Chemical attributes of regrowth biomass differed significantly prior to management and regrowth had a significant correlation with the reserves in root tissues and with the pre -management status of the individual tree. Driving sprouts resulted in significantly larger growth increments and may provide a form of management that can viably be adopted. Biomass sequential management resulted in high nutrient exports and the amount of fertilizer needed for replenishment depended on the intensity and frequency of cropping. Compared with the cut of the tree, pruning the canopy reduces fertilizers that are required to replenish amount by 44%, decreasing to 26.37% in the second rotation. The generated knowledge contributes to this silvicultural practice as it becomes ecologically and economically viable.

“…Such regrowth is of great importance to the essential oil trade, as productivity is directly proportional to production, so favoring management by coppicing. However, such developments require a knowledge of the limits of this technique if sustainable management of rosewood plantations is to occur [37][38][39].…”

“…As a result, coppice management, though an age-old silvicultural practice worldwide, has regained increasing attention recently in response to the growing demand for wood fuels, diversification of forest-based livelihoods and nature conservation (Dayamba et al 2011;Matula et al 2012;Ferraz-Filho et al 2014). Understanding factors that influence the coppicing ability of trees have, thus, attracted the interest of researchers and managers aiming at developing adaptive management strategies.…”

Coppicing ability of dry miombo woodland species harvested for traditional charcoal production in Zambia: a win–win strategy for sustaining rural livelihoods and recovering a woodland ecosystem

The miombo woodland is one of the most extensive woodlands in Africa, supporting livelihoods based on biomass fuel for millions of rural people. However, there are growing concerns about the sustainability of harvesting for biomass fuel (mainly charcoal). Thus, the aim of this study was to examine whether regeneration by coppice is a viable option for sustainably managing miombo woodlands for biomass fuel production. We tested the hypotheses that (1) species, stump diameter, stump height and time since cutting significantly affect the number of sprouts per cut stump (coppice density) and mean sprout height (shoot vigour) and (2) higher coppice density reduces shoot vigour due to competition among coppice shoots in a given stump. In an inventory in areas that were harvested for charcoal production by the local people, 369 stumps of 11 species were recorded with mean coppice stumps ranged from 6 to 84. The mean coppice density ranged from 5 to 8 shoots per stump while the mean height of coppice shoots ranged from 46 to 118 cm with marked interspecific variations. Stump size was significantly and positively correlated with coppice density for some of the species, but not with shoot vigour for the majority of the species. However, shoot vigour was significantly positively correlated to time since cutting of trees for nearly half of the species. Coppice density had a significant negative correlation with shoot vigour for two species, and a positive correlation for one species. In conclusion, the results provide evidence about the importance of coppice management as a win-win strategy for sustaining charcoal-based rural livelihoods and recovering the miombo woodland ecosystem.

“…produce a large number of sprouts with larger diameters and heights (Matula et al, 2012) and show no decline in sprouting vigour with age (Pigott, 1991). T. cordata leaves may represent a reliable indicator for evaluation studies on developmental stability based on the ability of its leaf morphometric characters to buffer their development under contrasting environmental conditions (Velikovic, 2010).…”
