mixed-species forestry systems

tropical regions

This paper discusses the key issues assocaited with the design of mixed species systems in the tropics. In the paper we draw on both the literature related to mixed-species forestry systems and the literature related to smallholders and community participation in forestry. Based on this analysis, we develop generic guidelines for the design of mixed-species systems that potentially have broad application in tropical regions. We then use these guidelines, combined with extensive datasets collected over the past 10 years, to propose specifi c systems suited to smallholder and community forestry in the Philippines. These systems provide a range of short term and longer term fi nancial and livelihood benefi ts, along with other social and ecological benefi ts including biodiversity.
