Big-Leaf Mahogany: Genetics, Ecology, and Management

Lugo, Ariel E.; Figueroa Colón, Julio C.; Alayón, Mildred

Big-Leaf Mahogany is the most important commercial timber species of the tropics. Current debate concerning whether to protect it as an endangered species has been hampered by the lack of complete, definitive scientific documentation. This book reports on vital research on the ecology of big-leaf mahogany, including genetic variations, regeneration, natural distribution patterns and the silvicutural and trade implications for the tree.
