Tree planting is a popular activity

Tree planting is a popular activity for lots groups and agencies. It’s noticeably smooth but many efforts are suggested to fail. Why?

According to Haribon’s forester below the Road to 2020 (RT2020) application, Razel Ripalda, “It’s not as simple as we suppose. It takes unique expertise to make sure or boom the danger of survival.” Planting bushes is grounded in forest technological know-how and if performed properly can result in successful regeneration of an area.

He referred to that factors that need to be considered for tree planting are the type of tree species to be used, soil kind, soil’s moisture content material, topography (or the features, consisting of mountains and river, in an area of land) and the satisfactory of seedlings (e.G. Gone through hardening-off method in the nursery, undamaged roots). All of these assure the highest survival price of tree seedlings.

For example, an endangered tree species like Apitong (Dipterocarpus grandiflorus) which is right for soil erosion control is best planted in shady, low-middle slope of wooded area with volcanic or clay-rich soil while another endangered tree species like Yakal Saplungan (Hopea plagata) which is ideal for windbreaks is excellent planted in slightly shaded, middle-upper slope wooded area with properly-drained soil. The same standards of planting can’t be implemented to all species due to their specific desires to continue to exist. Apitong seedling requires colour but may be filtered to complete shiny mild whilst matured while Yakal Saplungan seedling desires bright or partial shade to thrive
