Deforestation in neotropical montane rain forests does not only lead to loss of biodiversity, but also to destruction of the socioeconomic basis for livelihood. The project aims at building-up silvicultural and ecological knowledge needed for sustainable management of different forest resources (natural and managed forests, abandoned land) in South Ecuador. The activities consider three complementary research sections: i) management of forest reproductive material of native species; ii) reforestation of different types of abandoned pastures with native species; iii) management of natural forests and potential seed sources. The investigations encompass activities on different scales ranging from seeds, individual trees, forest stands, to ecosystems. In the new phase we will deepen our integrative research in undisturbed und disturbed forest ecosystems with different degrees of degradation. New investigations will focus on clarifying the potential of direct seeding as alternative to planting for restoration of degraded ecosystems and on propagation of woody NTFP crops as supplemental utilisation option. The still existing gaps in the knowledge of the silvicultural bases for sustainable forest ecosystem management will be closed and all results will be consolidated towards regional concepts that contribute to the maintenance of the natural forest resources and its biodiversity, reduced deforestation, sustainable development of the forestry sector, and ensurance of the socio-economic needs of the people.

砍伐新热带山地热带雨林不仅会导致生物多样性的丧失，还会破坏谋生的社会经济基础。该项目旨在培养可持续管理厄瓜多尔南部不同森林资源(天然林和管理林、废弃地)所需的营林和生态知识。这些活动考虑了三个相辅相成的研究部分：1)管理本地物种的森林繁殖材料；2)用本地物种重新造林不同类型的废弃牧场；3)管理天然林和潜在的种子来源。调查涵盖了从种子、个体树木、林木到生态系统等不同尺度上的活动。在新的阶段，我们将深化对不同程度退化的原状和扰动森林生态系统的综合研究。新的调查将侧重于澄清直接播种作为恢复退化生态系统的种植替代品的潜力，以及作为补充利用选择的木本非耕作作物的繁殖。可持续森林生态系统管理的营林基地知识方面仍然存在的差距将得到弥合，所有成果将朝着有助于维护天然林资源及其生物多样性、减少砍伐森林、林业部门的可持续发展和保障人民的社会经济需求的区域概念得到巩固。
