TAILIEUCHUNG - Big-Leaf Mahogany Genetics, Ecology, and Management

Since the 1930s, the USDA (. Department of Agriculture) Forest Service’s International Institute of Tropical Forestry (the Institute) has studied mahogany and its management. In the 1960s, . Lamb, the author of the classic book on mahogany (1966), was an Institute collaborator. Before gene flow and genetic erosion became popular terms, my predecessor Frank Wadsworth established a gene bank at the Luquillo Experimental Forest. This project required two expeditions to Central America in successive years (1958 and 1959) to collect seed from 20 populations of big-leaf and Pacific coast mahogany. These provenances plus small-leaf mahogany were planted throughout Puerto Rico in a replicated, large-scale transplant study | Ecological Studies 159 Ariel E. Lugo Julio c.
