A planning tool for tree species selection and planting schedule in

This study develops a planning tool for forestation programs that incorporates the selection of tree species and the scheduling of planting and harvesting, while balancing the maximization of the carbon sequestered and income realized, into the forestation decision-making and planning process.

Guidance for successful tree planting initiatives

We summarize the multifaceted decision-making process needed and offer guidelines to increase the success of the proposed ambitious efforts to increase tree cover world-wide.

SPECIES SELECTION AND PLANTATION MANAGEMENT IN ENRICHMENT PLANTING WITH

Large areas of the Panama Canal Watershed have been converted to monocultures of teak (Tectonia grandis), a non-native timber species that is generally not providing hoped-for economic and ecological benefits of Forest Landscape Restoration.

Tree planting management and fertilization is a systematic engineering process that encompasses multiple stages, including tree species selection, planting, growth management, and fertilization. Below, I will elaborate on these key aspects:

1. Species Selection and Planting

(1) Species Selection

• Variety Choice: Select tree species based on local climate, soil types, and market demand. For example, drought-resistant species like poplar can be chosen for arid regions, while trees with developed root systems, such as pines, are suitable for humid areas.
• Seed Quality: Use high-quality seeds to ensure germination and survival rates. Reputable suppliers and certified seed packaging can help in screening.

(2) Planting

• Soil Preparation: Deepen the soil, remove weeds and stones, and ensure loose, fertile conditions. Newly planted trees require adequate watering to maintain soil moisture.
• Establishment: Dig holes according to planned row and plant spacing. Place saplings in the holes and backfill soil carefully, avoiding overburden or shallow planting.

2. Growth Management

(1) Water Management

• Irrigation: Adjust watering based on weather and growth stages. Ensure sufficient water during dry periods, especially in the growing season.
• Drainage: Maintain an effective drainage system to prevent root damage from waterlogging.

(2) Fertilization

• Base Fertilizer: Apply organic matter (e.g., compost, matured cow manure) before planting to provide nutrient reserves.
• Topdressing: Use chemical fertilizers (e.g., nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium) regularly based on tree growth and soil fertility to promote healthy development.
• Timing: Fertilize in spring and autumn when moderate temperatures favor nutrient absorption.

(3) Pruning

• Shaping: Remove weak or diseased branches to improve airflow and light penetration, reducing pest risks.
• Flower and Fruit Management: For fruit trees, thin flowers and fruits timely to ensure quality and yield.

(4) Pest and Disease Control

• Prevention First: Minimize pest risks through crop rotation, sanitation, and other proactive measures.
• Timely Treatment: Use biological or chemical controls immediately upon detecting pests or diseases to prevent spread.

3. Fertilization Strategies

(1) Base Fertilizer

• Dosage: Determine amounts based on soil fertility and tree needs. Mature trees typically require 1–2 kg of compound fertilizer per plant.
• Application: Spread evenly around the root zone at a depth of ~30 cm.

(2) Topdressing

• Timing: Apply in early spring (before budding) and late autumn (after leaf fall).
• Methods: For liquid fertilizers, spray within the drip line; for solids, mix thoroughly with soil before application.

(3) Key Considerations

• Fertilizer Type: Prioritize organic options (e.g., animal manure, green manure) to reduce environmental impact.
• Dosage: Avoid over-fertilization, which can burn roots or damage seedlings. Adjust based on soil and growth conditions.
• Application: Keep fertilizer away from direct contact with the trunk to prevent scorching.

the above management practices can effectively enhance tree growth rates and quality, supporting sustainable development.
