This project aims to evaluate the productive potential of explored forest areas after one cutting cycle (30 years) and propose a forestry management system for the second cutting cycle in the Amazon. Technological ability and floristic variety of arboreal species will also be evaluated, in areas previously submitted to forest exploration 30 years ago (Tapajós National Forest). This project, headed by Oriental Amazon Embrapa in partnership with Federal Rural University of the Amazon, aims to develop and disclose sustainable exploration of the native forest resources.



The research will allow the evaluation of impacts caused by lumbering in a natural forest and its recuperation during a cutting cycle ( 30 years). This research is the single one to be developed at the only area in the country which monitors trees throughout the forest management areas during a period of an entire cutting cycle. It will be able to conclusively evaluate the advocated models of forest management, making possible the adoption of sustainable forestry exploration and new guidelines to the forestry research in the Amazon.
