Description
- This article describes how the "native forests by native trees" restoration method used in Japan was applied to reforestation in Malaysia, and later in Brazil, Chile, and parts of China.
- The author first describes processes of investigating species mixtures from natural forests, collecting seeds of native species, creating vegetation maps, evaluating natural regeneration, preparing potted seedlings in a nursery setting, dense and mixed planting of species, and mulching and weeding around the trees.
- Beginning in 1990, a restoration project was established as a joint program between the Mitsubishi Corporation and the University of Agriculture in Malaysia.
- Using the results of prior field investigations for species selection, 91 species were planted on 800 ha of land on the university campus (in Sarawak state).
- The author provide charts to describe the way that mixed plantations can result in quasi-natural forests over the course of 50 years, a process that the authors stress is quicker than the hundreds of years it would take for the area to regenerate naturally.
