Book excerpt: Teak is native to Lao PDR, occurring in the forests bordering Thailand and Myanmar in Xayabuli and Bokeo provinces. Approximately 15,000 ha of teak has been planted in woodlots, primarily in Luang Prabang province of Lao PDR. These woodlots produce a timber of high value that is used for a variety of purposes in local markets, and has strong demand in international markets such as China and Vietnam. Teak has proven to be highly suitable for cultivation in smallholder woodlots and agroforestry plants in northern Laos (at elevations between 300 and 600 m a.sl.), when established in conjunction with annual crops following a 3-5 year fallow. While Lao smallholders have been growing teak for many years, there is only very limited information available on the best cultural and management practices. This manual is designed as a practical field guide, primarily for use by staff in the District Agriculture and Forestry Offices, to provide reliable information to support extension and training activities with smallholders. Additional training materials are also available for distribution to farmers. Adoption of the silvicultural and management practices outlined in this manual will result in better quality, faster growing teak, that have higher value, with the potential to be harvested at an earlier age. In the longer term, widespread adoption of improved teak management is also expected to result in social and environmental benefits to individual growers and communities in the upland areas of northern Laos. The key extension messages for Lao farmers are: 1. Use the best quality planting stock available; 2. Plant trees no closer than 3 x 3 m, with wider spacing (low stocking rates) suitable on sloping lands and in agroforestry trials; and 3. To maximise growth rates and increase value, farmers must manage their teak plantings to reduce competition from weeds when they are young, and to manage competition between trees commencing 4-6 years after planting.--Abstract.

Download or read book Towards Improving Profitability of Teak in Integrated Smallholder Farming Systems in Northern Laos written by and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Occurring naturally in Laos, teak is one of the world's finest timbers. The high sustained demand for teak wood, coupled with significant shortages of supply from natural forests, has stimulated the development of plantations in many tropical countries. This study examined the socioeconomic and technical constraints to the incorporation of teak planting into farming systems in northern Laos.

Download or read book Ecosystem Goods and Services from Plantation Forests written by Jürgen Bauhus and published by Earthscan. This book was released on 2010 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plantation forests often have a negative image. They are typically assumed to be poor substitutes for natural forests, particularly in terms of biodiversity conservation, carbon storage, provision of clean drinking water and other non-timber goods and services. Often they are monocultures that do not appear to invite people for recreation and other direct uses. Yet as this book clearly shows, they can play a vital role in the provision of ecosystem services, when compared to agriculture and other forms of land use or when natural forests have been degraded. This is the first book to examine explicitly the non-timber goods and services provided by plantation forests, including soil, water and biodiversity conservation, as well as carbon sequestration and the provision of local livelihoods. The authors show that, if we require a higher provision of ecosystem goods and services from both temperate and tropical plantations, new approaches to their management are required. These include policies, methods for valuing the services, the practices of small landholders, landscape approaches to optimise delivery of goods and services, and technical issues about how to achieve suitable solutions at the scale of forest stands. While providing original theoretical insights, the book also gives guidance for plantation managers, policy-makers, conservation practitioners and community advocates, who seek to promote or strengthen the multiple-use of forest plantations for improved benefits for society.

Download or read book Smallholder Tree Growing for Rural Development and Environmental Services written by Denyse J. Snelder and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-07-19 with total page 498 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent history reveals that both the large-scale reforestation projects of the 20th century have often been less successful than anticipated, and that tree growing by smallholders – as an alternative means to combat deforestation and promote sustainable land use – has received relatively little attention from the scientific and development communities. Taking a first step to addressing that balance, this collection of peer-reviewed papers adopts a comparative approach to explore the potential role that tree growing by farmers can play in sustainable forest management. The goal of this approach is to identify common threads and to start to develop a framework for future research and practice. Presenting case studies from the Philippines and comparative data from a number of Asian countries the book reveals that farmer tree growing has the potential to play a significant role in sustainable forest management, and discusses the surrounding issues which must be addressed in order to realise this potential. The book is primarily aimed at research scientists and graduate students interested in relevant aspects of forestry, agroforestry, agricultural diversity, natural resource management and conservation in agricultural landscapes, as well as those involved in sustainable development and international development studies. It will also provide a valuable reference for professionals, managers, consultants, policy makers and planners dealing with issues in sustainable development, natural resource management, land use change issues and participatory approaches to resource management.

Download or read book Understanding the impact of planted forest on smallholder livestock farmers and their livelihoods in the Greater Mekong Subregion written by Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 2021-11-23 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Significant forest change in the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS) has resulted in deforestation of primary forests and expansion of plantation forests. Although plantation forest development benefits rural communities through income generation and employment opportunities, there have been negative impacts, including reductions in livestock grazing land and collection of non-timber forest products. This study analysed the association between primary forests, plantation forests, grazing areas and large ruminant populations in Cambodia, Lao PDR and Viet Nam. The report showed that livestock populations in the GMS are dynamic and have been under pressure due to enhanced trade and demand in red meat in China and Viet Nam, with a generally positive association between planted forest areas and populations of cattle and buffalo in Lao PDR and Viet Nam indicated. Tree plantations were an important source of income and generally perceived as having a positive impact on rural livelihoods, despite negatively impacts in grazing land availability. It is recommended that integrative approaches that include the collection of household level data to assess the impact on smallholder livelihoods and the collection of regional level data to capture forest changes in future forest assessments, enabling a more comprehensive understanding of the association between primary forests and planted forest on smallholder livestock production. Silvopastoral models have the potential to provide more viable and sustainable alternatives to the current forestry and livestock production models, supporting the transformation to more sustainable agriculture for better production, better environment, and sustainable development goals in GMS countries and beyond.
