Summary and images of the result of the study “Enrichment planting of teak (Tectona grandis L.f.) in degraded deciduous dipterocarp forests” after 10 years and predicted for up to 15 years in tropical highlands of Viet Nam
Prof. Dr. Bao Huy
After overexploitation in previous decades, the deciduous dipterocarp forest (DDF) became poor in timber and were subsequently converted to industrial crops such as cashew, rubber and acacia hybrids. This conversion failed because these industrial crops could not adapt to the extreme ecological environmental conditions of DDFs and destroyed the unique dipterocarp forest ecosystem.
Enrichment planting of teak in the degraded DDFs offers the potential for additional economic value from planted teak trees, while rehabilitating the ecological, environmental and biological functions of the unique dipterocarp forest ecosystem.
Teak has been suitable for the extreme ecological environmental conditions of the degraded DDFs such as marginal soil with a high ratio of gravel, high temperature, drought, wildfire in the dry season, and low rainfall.
