Abstract

Reforestation is a key strategy for restoration and rehabilitation of degraded lands in the tropical mountain forest ecosystem. The experiences with Alnus acuminata are promising and further research about reforestation with native tree species in mountain regions is desirable; highly relevant topics like the selection of suitable sites and reproductive material, efficient seedling production, and silvicultural management in the field should be addressed in order to ensure successful reforestation projects. Plantations of native Alnus acuminata or exotic Pinus patula can also serve as nurse trees for enrichment planting with native tree species.
