Summary
Description |
English: Schematic view of a successful reforestation programme. This landscape contains several components: (a) protected existing native forests, either old- or second-growth, where native seeds are collected; (b) restored riparian forest creating a biological corridor connecting remaining forest patches; (c) a naturally regenerating area, adjacent to an existing native forest that provides seed rain for natural regeneration; (d) restored or livelihood native forest, which might include non-invasive exotic useful species for timber and non-timber forest products (NTFPs), where people monitor biomass and biodiversity recovery; (e) tree nursery and seed bank where native seeds are stored and propagated; (f) tree planting area, with a section dedicated to establishment trials; (g) protected native non-forest ecosystems, such as grassland and wetland; (h) urban and rural areas, with sustainable agriculture and livestock. |
