Abstract

Se presenta un panorama de la silvicultura como elemento crítico para la sostenibilidad y manejo del bosque, considerando la definición de la silvicultura que soporta el manejo sostenible del bosque natural, el papel de la silvicultura dentro de los nuevos paradigmas de uso sostenible del bosque natural, las limitaciones en investigación y práctica silvicultural en bosques tropicales y los temas prioritarios para lograr el manejo sostenible del bosque natural. Se plantea que para el mantenimiento de la capacidad de adaptación de los bosques a diversos e inesperados disturbios sin perder su integridad ecológica el silvicultor necesita conocimientos biológicos y ecológicos que le permitan comprender el bosque como un todo. Se concluye que para obtener mayores beneficios de los bienes y servicios ecosistémicos se requiere superar el enfoque de la silvicultura tradicional. Es necesario desarrollar investigaciones conducentes a maximizar los beneficios de las comunidades locales a partir del uso combinado de productos maderables y no maderables, sin descuidar su rol de garantizar la integridad ecológica del ecosistema que intervenga.

It is presented an overview of silviculture as a critical element for the sustainability and management of the forest, considering the definition of silviculture that supports the sustainable management of natural forest, the role of silviculture within the new paradigms for the sustainable use of natural forest, the limitations in research and silvicultural practice in tropical forests and the priority themes for achieving the sustainable management of natural forest. It was stablished that for the maintenance of the adaptive capacity of forests to various and unexpected disturbances without losing their ecological integrity, the forester needs biological and ecological knowledge that enables him to comprehend the forest as a whole. It is concluded that in order to obtain greater benefits from the ecosystem goods and services it is required to overcome the traditional silviculture approach. It is necessary to develop research leading to maximize the benefits of local communities from the combined use of timber and non-timber products, without neglecting their role to ensure the ecological integrity of the ecosystem intervening.

Uma visão geral da silvicultura parece ser crítica para a sustentabilidade como um elemento de manejo florestal, considerando a definição de silvicultura que suporta o gerenciamento sustentável de florestas naturais, o papel da silvicultura nos novos paradigmas de uso sustentável da floresta natural, limitações na investigação e prática silvicultural em florestas tropicais e as temáticas prioritárias para conseguir o manejo sustentável das florestas naturais. Foi estabelecida que para manter a resiliência das florestas em diversas e inesperadas alterações sem perder sua integridade ecológica o silvicultor precisa conhecimentos biológicos e ecológicas que ajudam a entender a floresta como um todo. Conclui-se que, para obter maiores benefícios de bens e serviços do ecossistema é necessário superar a abordagem florestal tradicional. Precisamos desenvolver investigações encaminhadas em maximizar os benefícios para as comunidades locais a partir da utilização combinada de productos madeireiros e não-madeireiros, sem descuidar o seu papel de assegurar a integridade ecológica do ecossistema que seja intervindo.
