Soil erosion under teak (Tectona grandis L.f.) plantations : General patterns, assumptions and controversies
Afforestation ; Costa Rica ; Erosion rate ; Human impact ; Plantation ; Soil erosion ; Teak
The case study was established in Alfisols and slopes ranging from 30 to 60% in Guanacaste, Costa Rica, and compares secondary forests with mature teak plantations and young teak plantations under different management regimes. The common myth
of high soil erosion rates in teak plantations is refuted. Moderate or low erosion rates are usually found in teak plantations. Prescribed fires in some plantations have probably caused the false myth. It is concluded that poor forest management
(prescribed fires, machinery, extremely steep slopes, previous land use, etc.) rather than the nature of the teak itself causes the high rates of erosion.

This paper explores the branding of natural resources using a case study of teak. It builds a broader appreciation of this phenomenon using a Foucauldian framework that sees it as a form of government. It identifies three tools – science, violence
and marketing – that inform the genesis of brands, exploring their deployment in the making of teak with reference to selected historical and geographical entanglements of the British Empire and former colonies (notably Burma as prime country of origin).

as for SOC mapping, based on different methods for SOC determination and on different precision levels. To do so they conducted a carbon variability study in 5 common forest types of Southeastern Tanzania (coastal dry forest, Miombo woodland, teak plantation
