This project proposal aims to generate critical and unprecedented information on wood stocks in production forests undergoing a second harvest cycle in the Brazilian Amazon. In the first phase, the project intends to carry out the 2nd cycle harvest in an area harvesting in the past under two methods: Reduced Impact Logging (RIL) and Conventional Logging (CL) for experimental purposes. In …
This project aims to generate monitoring information on the remnant forest dynamics and regeneration in long-term managed forests (27 years) in the eastern Amazon for timber production. For this we will (i) monitor 73.5 ha of managed remnant forests, with 3 areas of 24.5 ha in each of the applied treatments (reduced impact logging (EIR), conventional logging (EC) and unlogged forest - con…
This project aims to compare the dynamics of a forest using techniques reduced impact logging (RIL) with another conventionally logging (CL) in a property the name Agrosete Farm (3 S, 50° W), in Paragominas, in the northeast of the State of Pará. The studies will be carried out in an area of 210 ha, of which 75 ha were operated conventionally, 105 ha were explored using RIL techniques and…
Ecological restoration has been considered one of the main strategies for combining conservation and restoration of biodiversity and ecosystem services in agricultural production in Brazil, although there are still many bottlenecks in that area. In this research proposal, we designed five sections to investigate the challenges for forest restoration in highly-modified landscapes, with the…

Lianas are woody vines characterized as structural parasites that compete for natural resources with their host trees, reducing growth and increasing tree mortality. Forest disturbances associated with climate change may favor an increase in lianas, thereby decreasing carbon stock and the stocks of commercial timber species in the Amazon. However, long-term studies of effects of logging o…
Solar radiation is the Earth's main energy source, it is fundamental for the functioning of different physical, chemical and biological processes, especially in forest ecosystems. For photosynthesis to happen, only a fraction of solar radiation, called Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR), is utilized, covering wavelengths between 0.4 and 0.7 ¿m. Thus, a landscape radiation use effic…
The demand for timber from tropical forests has been constant in recent years, but the stocks of the main managed species have declined in recent years. Thus, the uncertainty generated by the stocks of second-cycle production forests demonstrates weaknesses in the long term. And the economic viability in subsequent cycles of the absence of high-value species is questioned. Thus, the aim o…

The search for alternative models of forest restoration has been increasing and the use of restoration methods that integrate conservationist and productivist goals, such as Agroforestry Systems (AFS) is seen as a potential. However, more studies are needed that seek to show the effect of management intensity on ecological indicators and the provision of ecosystem services, in addition to…
Nowadays the new term "Non-Timber Forest Products" is expanding due to its huge importance in economic activity terms from the international market to Forest Communities' income increasing, using non-timber products as a major household survival source. The main goal of valuing these new products is related to sustainable forest management in order to promote the conservation of standing …

The intensity of timber harvesting is one of the main factors affecting forest recovery and the natural regeneration of timber stocks for subsequent harvesting cycles after the first cut. Even with the application of reduced-impact logging (RIL), it is crucial to ensure the recovery and regeneration of these individuals. Therefore, understanding the behavior of these species in logging ga…
Management of non timber forest products (NTFPs) by local communities from tropical regions could potentially satisfy conservation and socio-economic demands. The conspicuous palm Euterpe edulis figures among the most important NTFPs sources from the Atlantic Forests of Brazil. Though there is a great body of scientific literature about E. edulis, there is a gap of knowledge on the variat…
Over the past decades, non timber forest products have been assessed as relevant means of promoting rural development and conservation of ecosystems, however the economic potential has been thoroughly discussed in the literature. The present study aims to evaluate the economic from community and family management of tropical forest seeds by the household production theory, involving socia…
