| Résumé : | Amazonian white-sand forest, a distinctive and fragile type of lowland rainforest, usually occurs on scattered highly oligotrophic soil patches and holds a high number of endemism species. It is neither suitable for agriculture nor for timber production. However, it is a valuable resource for local communities since its small diameter (5-15 cm) straight round wood shows long durability and is widely used for house building. Despite that, local management remains invisible to forestry regulation and it might blacken the future of Amazonian white-sand forests. The purpose of this work is to provide basic knowledge on white-sand forest stand structure and floristic composition, which is essential for sustainable management planning. | Type de document : | Article | Permalien de la notice : | https://infodoc.agroparistech.fr/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=165698 |
