The joint analysis of these case studies permits one to conclude that the exploration of the Cerrado and candeia in a sustainable manner can be economically viable, being primarily dependent on the level of intervention, cutting cycle, productivity, cost of land and market

Due to Brazil's territorial extension and high biological diversity, Brazilian native forest sector presents great importance on a global level, contributing to the world market supply of various products; ensuring the maintenance of biodiversity and water resources; as well as climate regulation in areas of influence. However, comparing the native and planted forest sectors in the country, the latter is more developed from a technology perspective. The multiple use of the Cerrado is an appealing option to be pursued. In the case of candeia, advances may be focused on new product development, having as base the waste generated after oil extraction. This measure will add value to the production system, and elevate

After harvesting, the cutting cycle must be respected, along with the promotion of mechanisms to maximize forest growth, accomplished through silvicultural systems. Without these cares the forest will enter into stages of degradation and fragmentation, causing permanent damage to the ecosystem. The studies related here were focused in the tree stratum of the forests and as such consist of preliminary studies of the sustainability of Cerrado and candeia management. Further studies on how forest management affects the fauna and other aspects of the flora (e.g. trees with DBH smaller than 5cm and herbaceous stratum) are required to provide more information on the impacts of forest management on

**Sustainable Forest Management** 

Historically, agriculture and livestock farming have been the main drivers of land cover conversion replacing natural forests in tropical and sub-tropical Brazil. The consequences for the landscape are well known: habitat fragmentation, biodiversity loss, and reductions in the quality of environmental services. The intense exploitation of natural forest resources tends to generate immediate, but limited, short-term economic wealth, which is generally very poorly distributed. In the long-term, forest resources are depleted thus reducing the ability of small rural owners to move out of impoverished situations. Therefore, while conversion of forest to agriculture can in some cases improve rural incomes, all too often deforestation leads to impoverishment of both ecosystems and communities. In Brazil, forest displacement in favour of agriculture and livestock has occurred since early in its colonization; in the Southern region – the principal agricultural area – this process took place in the late XIX and XX centuries. In this part of the country, past forestry practices such as clear-cutting and predatory harvesting, combined with social and legal encouragement, produced scenarios in which forested lands are now mostly degraded, not fulfilling their ecologic, social or economic roles in our society. In spite of the challenges that forest management faces in sub-tropical Brazil, some promising experiences and experiments are helping to create an environment receptive to the reintroduction of sustainable forest management (SFM) as a means to enhance economic incomes for rural property. Herein, we explore the obstacles related to the adoption of SFM as an economic alternative and propose technical opportunities for both small and large rural properties by
