Analog Forestry |

Globally, forest resources have serious states exhaustion due to the high demand for agricultural land and forest producers. The relative population pressure has a direct effect on farmland.
Many of cultivation land have been transformed into agricultural land, while sustainable systems of land use end up areas to live. In this sense, most of the forest cover can not be considered as natural forest. Agriculture and the practices unsustainable of foresteria lead to increased soil depletion, declining water tables, pollution of soil and water, and greater dependence on external inputs comno seeds, fertilizers and pesticides. Market dependence of some staple crops the most vulnerable to crop losses as a result of droughts, floods and pest outbreaks farmers and price fluctuations in cases where yields are stable. As an alternative to traditional production systems, ecosystems and to improve living conditions of the inhabitants, Analog Forestry is presented. This is a system that seeks to establish analog ecosystems with architectural structures and similar to the original vegetation ecological functions. Analog Forestry is a complex form of agroforestry, where the ecosystem is dominated by trees, but which in turn provides marketable value species that provide socioeconomic support to rural communities. In addition, the products of Analog Forestry offer added value when marketing them, as it has developed a system called certifications Forest Garden Products. The concept of analog forestry was conceived originalemnete in California and Guatemala in 1975, and was placed first in Sri Lanka based on the model of traditional family garden. The opriginal design was made for the restoration of damaged in Sri Lanka and running by the research center neosynthesis in that country over the past 25 years pastures. Later models were improved. The Analog Forestry can help people develop sustainable livelihoods. This is to increase resilience and resilience to the biodiversity of a landscape through the use of natural processes of ecological succession as a model of agricultural and forestry production. Match the structure of natural forests and ecological functions associated with a greater emphasis on socio-economic value species. Thus, analog forestry contributes to preserve biodiversity resturar degraded landscapes, while local communities have access to sustainable livelihoods., Although Analog Forestry is a relatively new concept, farmers have accumulated some experience creating gardens analog forestry without necessarily call with this name. For example, a home garden. While most analog forestry projects being carried out at present occur in tropical and neotropical ecosystems, its principle can be applied to most forest ecosystems.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge about this new approach to ecological restoration that seems to work according to nature's designs. Planning an analog forest is highly situation specific and often entails different designs reflecting the characteristics of the local ecosystems.
