Journal of Selvicoltura Asean is an international, peer-reviewed, open-access journal that publishes scientific articles primarily but not limited to the area of Forestry Specialist. Journal of Selvicoltura Asean focuses on all dimensions of forest management, including but not limited to planning, conservation, sylviculture, socioeconomics, and the utilization of forest resources, with a focus in particular on the tropical forests of Asia. We are also eager to include contributions from other geographical scopes as long as they can convincingly demonstrate a critical significance to the concerns that are plaguing Asias forested landscape.

Abstract

Forest-dependent communities face significant challenges due to environmental changes and economic pressures. Understanding how these communities diversify their livelihoods is crucial for enhancing their resilience and sustainability. This study aims to examine the strategies employed by forest-dependent communities to diversify their income sources and reduce reliance on forest resources. A qualitative case study approach was utilized, involving in-depth interviews and focus group discussions with community members in a selected forest-dependent area. The findings reveal that communities engage in various livelihood diversification strategies, including agriculture, handicrafts, and eco-tourism, to mitigate risks associated with forest dependency. Additionally, the study highlights the importance of social networks and local knowledge in facilitating successful diversification. The results indicate that while diversification has improved economic stability, challenges remain, including limited access to markets and resources. The study concludes that promoting livelihood diversification among forest-dependent communities is essential for enhancing their resilience and sustainability. Policymakers should focus on supporting these communities through capacity-building initiatives and improving access to markets and resources.

Abstract

Mycorrhizal fungi play a crucial role in forest ecosystems, facilitating nutrient uptake and enhancing plant health. These symbiotic relationships are vital for the resilience and productivity of forests, yet their contributions to ecosystem health remain underexplored. This study aims to investigate the specific roles of mycorrhizal fungi in promoting forest ecosystem health by assessing their impact on nutrient cycling, soil structure, and plant diversity. A combination of field surveys and laboratory analyses was employed, focusing on various forest types with differing mycorrhizal associations. Data were collected on soil properties, fungal biodiversity, and plant growth metrics. The results indicate that forests with diverse mycorrhizal communities exhibit improved soil health, characterized by higher nutrient levels and better moisture retention. Additionally, these forests support greater plant diversity and demonstrate enhanced resilience to environmental stressors. The findings underscore the importance of mycorrhizal fungi in maintaining forest ecosystem health and highlight the need for conservation strategies that protect these critical organisms. In conclusion, mycorrhizal fungi are essential for nutrient cycling and overall forest vitality, suggesting that their preservation should be a key component of forest management practices.

Abstract

Selective logging is a prevalent forest management practice aimed at balancing timber production and conservation. However, its effects on forest structure and function remain a topic of significant concern. This study aims to evaluate the impact of selective logging on the biodiversity, biomass, and ecological functions of forest ecosystems. We employed a comparative analysis method, where forest plots subjected to selective logging were compared to undisturbed control plots. Data were collected on tree species diversity, density, and biomass, alongside assessments of soil health and microclimate conditions. Our findings indicate that selective logging significantly alters forest structure by reducing tree density and species diversity, leading to an overall decline in biomass. Additionally, changes in soil composition and moisture levels were observed, negatively affecting the forest's ecological functions. The results underscore the importance of adopting sustainable logging practices that mitigate adverse effects on forest ecosystems. In conclusion, while selective logging can provide economic benefits, its detrimental impacts on forest structure and function necessitate careful management and monitoring to preserve biodiversity and ecosystem health.

Abstract

Indigenous peoples play a crucial role in forest management, possessing valuable traditional knowledge and practices that contribute to sustainable resource use. Despite their significance, the involvement of indigenous communities in formal forest management planning remains limited in many regions. Understanding their contributions is essential for developing effective and inclusive management strategies. This study aims to analyze the role of indigenous peoples in forest management planning through a comparative analysis of several case studies. The research seeks to identify best practices, challenges faced by indigenous communities, and the impact of their involvement on forest conservation and sustainability. A qualitative research approach was employed, utilizing case studies from different regions to gather insights into indigenous participation in forest management. Data were collected through interviews, focus group discussions, and document analysis. The analysis focused on comparing the effectiveness of indigenous-led management practices with conventional approaches. The findings indicate that indigenous peoples' involvement significantly enhances forest management outcomes. Case studies revealed that indigenous-led initiatives resulted in improved biodiversity conservation, sustainable resource management, and strengthened community resilience. Challenges such as land rights issues and lack of recognition by authorities were also identified. The research underscores the importance of integrating indigenous knowledge and practices into formal forest management planning. Recognizing and supporting the role of indigenous peoples can lead to more effective and sustainable forest management strategies, benefiting both ecosystems and local communities.

Abstract

Forest degradation poses significant challenges to rural communities, affecting their socioeconomic conditions and overall well-being. This study investigates the multifaceted impacts of forest degradation on the livelihoods of rural populations, focusing on the loss of natural resources, economic opportunities, and social cohesion. The primary objective of this research is to analyze how declining forest health influences income sources, food security, and community dynamics in rural areas. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining quantitative surveys with qualitative interviews in selected rural communities affected by forest degradation. Data were collected from 200 households to assess changes in income, resource availability, and social structures. The findings reveal that forest degradation has led to a decline in income-generating activities, increased vulnerability to food insecurity, and weakened community ties. Many households reported reduced access to forest products, which are crucial for their daily sustenance and economic stability. The study concludes that effective forest management and restoration strategies are essential to mitigate the negative impacts of forest degradation on rural communities. Policymakers must prioritize community engagement and sustainable practices to enhance resilience and ensure the long-term well-being of these populations.
