Simulation of stand dynamics for miombo woodlands in Kitulangalo Forest Reserve, Morogoro, Tanzania

Miombo woodlands constitute the most extensive type of forest cover within South and East Africa, Tanzania in particular, they are seriously threatened by intensive degradation deforestation. The dynamics miombo stands were examined this study using a simple simulation system applied to experimental at Kitulangalo Forest Reserve (KFR) Tanzania. Prediction tree-level diameter increment, mortality, ingrowth across species groups with empirical models based on data from sites constituted essential elements system. Diameter distribution, stand basal area, volume yield, above-ground biomass accumulation assessed three harvesting alternatives groups. results indicate high degree positive response careful selective lightly degraded, recovering forests. Simulation systems compiled experimentally seem promising as tools for research sustainable management woodlands.
