A new approach to maximize the wood production in the sustainable management of Amazon forest

Table 2 Estimated ages and diameters on the biological rotation and the maximum current annual increment by species population

Species	Biological rotation		Max. CAI_v
Species	Dbh (cm)	Age (years)	Dbh (cm)	Age (years)
Apuleia leiocarpa	58	203	44	160
Erisma uncinatum	86	192	64	154
Hymenolobium excelsum	52	150	37	106
Trattinnickia burserifolia	58	116	34	80

Dbh = diameter at 1.30 m above ground level; max. CAI_v = maximum current annual increment for population volume; biological rotation = intersection of the curves of CAI_v and mean annual increment in volume for individual tree
