Publication date: 15 September 2013 Source: Forest Ecology and Management, Volume 304 Author(s): Megumi K. Kimura , Daisuke Kabeya , Tomoyuki Saito , Yoshinari Moriguchi , Kentaro Uchiyama , Chiharu Migita , Yukihiro Chiba , Yoshihiko Tsumura Clonal reproduction is a crucial factor shaping the demography and genetic structure of many plant populations. However, we still do not understand the extent to which environmental and genetic factors influence clonal reproduction....
Publication date: 15 September 2013 Source: Forest Ecology and Management, Volume 304 Author(s): Reza Jamshidi , Deirdre Dragovich , Ashley A. Webb Conservation of soil and water resources is one of the key criteria underpinning sustainable forest management. While soil and water resources are important determinants of forest productivity, without appropriate assessment of soil erosion risk and the application of best management practices (BMPs), some forest management...
Publication date: 15 September 2013 Source: Forest Ecology and Management, Volume 304 Author(s): Š. Vodka , L. Cizek Spatial distribution of arthropods in woodlands has crucial implications for biodiversity conservation and forest management. However, its determinants are insufficiently known. In particular, studies on arthropod vertical distribution in temperate woodlands report contrasting patterns that are difficult to explain in the current theoretical framework....
Etelä-Suomen metsien monimuotoisuuden toimintaohjelma (METSO) etenee pääosin suunnitellusti. Raportti esittelee METSO-ohjelman 14 toimenpiteen etenemisen vuonna 2012.
Vuonna 2012 METSO-ohjelmassa perustettiin 7 504 hehtaaria uusia suojelualueita. Yhteensä ajanjaksolla 2008-2012 on ELY-keskuksissa toteutettu luonnonsuojelulain mukaisia pysyviä ja määräaikaisia toimenpiteitä 21 186 hehtaarilla eli noin 22 prosenttia METSOn periaatepäätöksessä asetetusta kokonaistavoitteesta. Kun lasketaan mukaan...
Pervasive tenure insecurity in developing countries is a key challenge for REDD+. Brazil, a leader in REDD+, has advanced efforts to link forest tenure reform and environmental compliance. We describe how these policies have shaped sub-national interventions with detailed data on land tenure and livelihoods in four REDD+ pilot sites in the Brazilian Amazon. Despite different local contexts, REDD+ proponents have converged on a similar strategy of collaborating with government agencies to clarify...
This study investigates four decades of socio-economic and environmental change in a shifting cultivation landscape in the northern uplands of Laos. Historical changes in land cover and land use were analyzed using a chronological series of remote sensing data. Impacts of landscape change on local livelihoods were investigated in seven villages through interviews with various stakeholders. The study reveals that the complex mosaics of agriculture and forest patches observed in the study area...
Interventions designed to reduce emissions of atmospheric heat-trapping gases from tropical forest degradation are more likely to succeed if based on previous experiences and if they are clearly linked to other on-going conservation and development initiatives. Links between forest management certification, climate change mitigation, and forest product legality assurance already being made on the ground by forest auditors should be recognized and enhanced. Similar synergies are also important...
Publication date: 1 September 2013 Source: Forest Ecology and Management, Volume 303 Author(s): Richard T. Caners , S. Ellen Macdonald , René J. Belland Biological traits are potentially important for understanding mechanisms of plant species responses to alteration of local habitat conditions through natural and anthropogenic disturbance. Forest harvesting is a prominent disturbance in the circumpolar boreal biome, influencing stand- and landscape-scale patterns of...
Description:
This study was carried out using 15-year old Eucalyptus regnans F. Muell trees from three seedlots in a progeny trial in Norbethong, Victoria in Australia. Colour, stain and light table methods were used to demarcate the boundary between the sapwood and heartwood on the discs cross sectional surface. The main objective of this study was to examine the variation within and between tree in heartwood and sapwood in plantation grown...
Description:
Wood energy provides 70% of Kenya’s national energy needs and it is expected to continue as the country’s main source of energy for the foreseeable future. Wood is the standard cooking fuel for the majority of Kenyan households and also an important energy source for small-scale rural industries. Past studies on supply demand balance of woodfuel have shown a deficit. To address this deficit there is need for a comprehensive wood...
