Developing criteria and indicators for evaluating sustainable forest management: A case study in Kyrgyzstan Publication year: 2012 Source: Forest Policy and Economics, Available online 19 February 2012 Gulnaz Jalilova, Chiranjeewee Khadka, Harald Vacik The management of the walnut-fruit forests is one of the key issues in the forestry sector of Kyrgyzstan as it has to address the challenges related to the conservation of forest resources, socio-economic efficiency and the livelihoods of people. The demand for an assessment of the current forest management, which generally involves criteria and indicators... (ScienceDirect) 20 Feb 2012 - 22:59 UTC

Efficiency of biological control ofGonipterusplatensis(Coleoptera: Curculionidae) byAnaphes nitens(Hymenoptera: Mymaridae) in cold areas of the Iberian Peninsula: Implications for defoliation and wood production inEucalyptus globulus Publication year: 2012 Source: Forest Ecology and Management, Volume 270, 15 April 2012, Pages 216-222 Ana Raquel Reis, Luis Ferreira, Margarida Tomé, Clara Araujo, Manuela Branco Sustainable management of forest plantations and cost-effective control strategies depend on previous estimations of the economic level of damage caused by the pests. The eucalyptus weevil, a key pest ofEucalyptusplantations worldwide, is mainly controlled using classical biological control, using the mymarid egg-parasitoidAnaphes...

Size-dependent growth responses to competition and environment inNothofagus menziesii Publication year: 2012 Source: Forest Ecology and Management, Volume 270, 15 April 2012, Pages 223-231 Tomás A. Easdale, Robert B. Allen, Duane A. Peltzer, Jennifer M. Hurst The increased availability of permanent-plot and environmental data allows examination of the relative influence of environment and competition as controls of individual tree growth at large spatial scales. To understand and predict stem diameter growth of a dominant tree,Nothofagus menziesii(Hook. F.) Oerst., within natural... (ScienceDirect) 20 Feb 2012 - 22:51 UTC

Stand structure and plant species diversity in managed and abandoned silver fir mature woodlands Publication year: 2012 Source: Forest Ecology and Management, Volume 270, 15 April 2012, Pages 232-238 T. Sitzia, G. Trentanovi, M. Dainese, G. Gobbo, E. Lingua, ... Although few undisturbed forests remain in Europe, forest reserves and deforested areas that are no longer profitable have the potential to develop stand structures similar to those which preceded human disturbances. The direct effects of management cessation on forest diversity are confounded by many factors that should be controlled... (ScienceDirect) 20 Feb 2012 - 22:51 UTC

The tourist experience of out-there-ness: theory and empirical research Publication year: 2012 Source: Forest Policy and Economics, Available online 17 February 2012 Birgit H.M. Elands, Jaap Lengkeek Forest and nature managers are confronted with an increasing number of tourists visiting National Parks, nature reserves and forest areas. Not all tourists, however, have or prefer the same experiences. In this study, we develop a theory on the nature of tourist experiences by proposing tourism as a way of distancing oneself from everyday reality, conceptualised in...

Drought-induced positive feedback in xylophagous insects: Easier invasion of Scots pine leading to greater investment in immunity of emerging individuals Publication year: 2012 Source: Forest Ecology and Management, Volume 270, 15 April 2012, Pages 147-152 Indrikis Krams, Janīna Daukšte, Inese Kivleniece, Guntis Brūmelis, Raimonds Cibuļskis, ... We studied the infestation rate of Scots pinePinus sylvestrisby xylophagous insects in relation to distance from forest lakes in eastern Latvia, northern Europe. In summers of 2008 and 2009, we felled 72 pines of approximately 65 years age. Sections of the logs were incubated in insect emergence traps.... (ScienceDirect) 19 Feb 2012 - 00:52 UTC

The role of forest harvesting and subsequent vegetative regrowth in determining patterns of amphibian habitat use Publication year: 2012 Source: Forest Ecology and Management, Volume 270, 15 April 2012, Pages 163-174 Viorel D. Popescu, David A. Patrick, Malcolm L. Hunter, Aram J.K. Calhoun Conservation of forest-dependent amphibians is dependent on finding a balance between timber management and species’ habitat requirements. To examine the effect of short-term vegetative regrowth post-harvesting on amphibian habitat use, we studied the response of eight species (four forest specialists and four habitat...

Exploratory analysis for complex-life-cycle amphibians: Revealing complex forest-reproductive effort relationships using redundancy analysis Publication year: 2012 Source: Forest Ecology and Management, Volume 270, 15 April 2012, Pages 175-182 Joanna Hawley Howard, Robert F. Baldwin, Bryan L. Brown The relationships among complex life-cycle (CLC) amphibians and their habitats involve interaction of biotic and abiotic variables across multiple spatial and temporal scales. Most studies of species–environment relationships utilize classic distributions and regression methods which may oversimplify results, as they often involve initial...

In-situ measurement of twig dieback and regrowth in matureAcer saccharumtrees Publication year: 2012 Source: Forest Ecology and Management, Volume 270, 15 April 2012, Pages 183-188 Shaik Md. Yousuf Hossain, John P. Caspersen Crown shyness is thought to influence both the productivity and dynamics of forests, but few studies have examined the underlying causes of this common phenomenon. The few studies that exist suggest that crown shyness is caused by the reciprocal abrasion of neighboring tree crowns, resulting in the death of peripheral buds and/or the breakage of peripheral...
