Effects of repeated fertilization of young Norway spruce on foliar phenolics and arthropods: Implications for insectivorous birds’ food resources Publication year: 2012 Source: Forest Ecology and Management, Volume 277 Lars Edenius, Grzegorz Mikusiński, Johanna Witzell, Johan Bergh Repeated fertilization of young forests is a promising concept to increase the production of wood fiber, but the consequences of intense fertilization regimes on forest birds and their food resources, mediated through changes in the foliar chemistry are inadequately known. We assessed the effects of repeated fertilization in stands of young... (ScienceDirect) 15 May 2012 - 09:01 UTC

Responses to experimental reduction and increase of cavities by a secondary cavity-nesting bird community in cavity-rich Pyrenean oak forests Publication year: 2012 Source: Forest Ecology and Management, Volume 277 Hugo Robles, Carlos Ciudad, Erik Matthysen Cavity shortage limits secondary cavity-nesting birds (SCN) assemblages in intensively-managed forests with few cavities, but whether cavity availability limits SCN in cavity-rich forests remains unclear. To address this issue, we used a replicated before-after-control-impact design in which the availability of cavities was experimentally reduced and increased...

Spatial genetic algorithm for multi-objective forest planning Publication year: 2012 Source: Forest Policy and Economics Dimitris G. Fotakis, Epameinondas Sidiropoulos, Dimitriοs Myronidis, Kostas Ioannou A spatial operator for genetic algorithms is introduced herein, in order to improve their efficiency for multi-objective spatial forest planning. Constrained NSGA-II is used as a standard genetic algorithm for the integration and the evaluation of the proposed methodology. A typical harvest scheduling problem is examined with two objectives:... (ScienceDirect) 15 May 2012 - 09:01 UTC

Relationship between local residents' perceptions, attitudes and participation towards national protected areas: A case study of Phou Khao Khouay National Protected Area, central Lao PDR Publication year: 2012 Source: Forest Policy and Economics Khamfeua Sirivongs, Toshiyuki Tsuchiya This study analyses local residents' perceptions, attitudes and participation towards national protected areas. These three factors are highly correlated, and can affect residents' willingness or unwillingness to manage forests in their areas. The primary objective was to determine whether local participation in managing national protected areas was significantly influenced by their... (ScienceDirect) 15 May 2012 - 09:01 UTC

Gestion de la faune dans les concessions foresti��res d’Afrique centrale Since the 1992 Rio Convention, sustainable forest management has become a major issue in the Congo Basin. This is reflected in reforms of forest legislations in most of the countries in the sub-region, which give greater consideration to biodiversity. Animal species are particularly concerned since management plans for timber concessions must now include a component about wildlife. Forest certification, which is steadily gaining ground in the subregion, is another tool for promoting sustainability... (CIFOR) 14 May 2012 - 09:00 UTC

Seasonal intrusion of litterfall from non-native pine plantations into surrounding native woodland: Implications for management of an invasive plantation species Publication year: 2012 Source: Forest Ecology and Management, Volume 277 Andrew C. Baker, Brad R. Murray Radiata pine ( Pinus radiata ) is commonly grown throughout the world as a major plantation species. Non-native radiata pine plantations are often established as monocultures amongst large tracts of remnant native vegetation. While the direct impacts on native biodiversity of such vegetation replacement have been well documented, much less is known about how plant litterfall... (ScienceDirect) 12 May 2012 - 09:01 UTC

The value of cultural theory for participatory processes in natural resource management Publication year: 2012 Source: Forest Policy and Economics, Volume 20 Marjanke A. Hoogstra-Klein, Dwiko B. Permadi, Yurdi Yasmi Participation is viewed as an important means for promoting the sustainable management of natural resources. However, participation is not always successful. Conflicting values and power inequalities are all factors that can severely undermine participatory processes. Where so far the main focus of research has been on power imbalances and conflicting...

Nature conservation and religion An excursion into the Zoroastrian religion and its historical benefits for the protection of forests, animals and natural resources Publication year: 2012 Source: Forest Policy and Economics, Volume 20 Ali Yachkaschi, Schirin Yachkaschi This article discusses the historical role of religion in nature conservation. After a brief overview over the main world religions, the article focuses on the Zoroastrian religion of ancient Persia. It is argued, that Zarathustra's teachings were particularly focused on proper care for trees, forests, animals, land and other natural resources. For example, under the influence...
