Abstract

Highlights: [•] We studied the effect of palm heart extraction from the palm Euterpe oleracea. [•] We constructed population matrix models and simulated different harvest scenarios. [•] Current harvest regimes result in dramatic demographic changes. [•] Current harvesting reducing by more than 90% supply of palm, beyond recovery. [•] Sustainable scenarios involve annual harvests between 50% and 75% of all stems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
