The Challenges of Sustainable Forest Operations in Amazonia
Abstract
Purpose of Review
The goal of this review was to determine what constitutes current challenges in effectively implementing sustainable forest operations in Amazonia. Next, succinctly characterize these challenges into comprehensive well-defined areas. Then ascertain the solutions provided in the literature. Lastly, after a thorough assessment, present potential directions to assist foresters, land managers, researchers, and loggers to build a consensus on what is necessary to achieve sustainable forest operations in Amazonia.
Recent Findings
Illegal logging is a pervasive threat to the credibility of the forest sector with 38% of all logged area in the Brazilian Amazon illegal, which undermines legitimate logging operations through an unfair competitive advantage. One solution is the application of near infrared spectroscopy which has shown promise in determining species and potentially the region of origin. This same technology is also being refined for utilization in species differentiation between logging residues used in green energy, as some industries are species averse, whereas the same species may still be viable for energy generation. Recent models reveal that in the Brazilian Amazon the logging cycle is too short and the cutting intensity too high. Moreover, tree age estimation, which is difficult in many Amazonian species, can now be determined through radiocarbon analysis to determine sustainable cutting cycles.
Summary
Without increased onsite forest inspections and determination of timber origin, illegal logging will continue unabated. Stand damage from logging can easily be reduced through new models and programs that reduce logging infrastructure coverage. To avoid the depletion of timber stocking, the logging cycle must be increased to coincide with the slow growth realities of many species in the Amazon.

期刊介绍:
Current Forestry Reports features in-depth review articles written by global experts on significant advancements in forestry. Its goal is to provide clear, insightful, and balanced contributions that highlight and summarize important topics for forestry researchers and managers.
To achieve this, the journal appoints international authorities as Section Editors in various key subject areas like physiological processes, tree genetics, forest management, remote sensing, and wood structure and function. These Section Editors select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that focus on new developments and recently published papers of great importance. Moreover, an international Editorial Board evaluates the yearly table of contents, suggests articles of special interest to their specific country or region, and ensures that the topics are up-to-date and include emerging research.
