Title To allow nature to happen, the implementation of natural succession in forest plantation Case study of the drivers behind the conversion to sustainable forestry practices
Summary This paper aims to assess the incentives behind forester decisions to convert their tree plantations into natural regenerated forests. The objectives are to analyse the economic, environmental and social factors motivating this transition. The qualitative research method selected for this paper is a multiple case study with collection of data through semi-directive interviews. The main discoveries were the importance of social pressure on forestry practices, the virtuous relationship between biodiversity and economic benefits and finally the notion of forest as a standing asset.
