Análisis espacial de patrones puntuales de la distribución de árboles dominantes con valor comercial en el dosel de los bosques denso y húmedos en el área Mai-Ndombe en la República Democrática del Congo

摘要

The Congo Basin is the second largest rainforest after of the Amazon. This forest has more than 28 species of dominant trees (very large), of substantial commercial value, such as Wenge and Bosee- Clair. In one part of the Congo Basin forest biome, situated in the Mai-Ndombe District of theDemocratic Republic of Congo, the government, forest communities and environmental service companies are searching for better ways to conserve and sustainably manage forest resources. This implies a knowledge of how much volume (i.e referred to as a ‘benefit’) one could sustainably extract without significantly changing the forest structure and composition.
