Publication date: September 2019Source: Forest Policy and Economics, Volume 106Author(s): Jesse AbramsAbstractSince its establishment in the early twentieth century, the U.S. Forest Service has periodically evolved its approach to decision-making and management for the millions of hectares of national forest under its authority. Starting in the 1990s, a complex governance regime emerged in which n...
From 2020-02-26 to 2020-02-28, Bonn, Germany, IUFRO Unit(s) involved: 9.00.00, 9.05.07 The conference objective is to compile and synthesise the scientific evidence related to the current state of integrated forest management approaches. This can be understood as approaches where both policy and forest management provide a multitude of services at the same time, either at the forest stand or at th...
Biomass production in living trees is the basis of numerous forest ecosystem functions and services. However, rates of and controls on biomass production vary widely across temperate forests, particularly over successional timescales of decades and centuries. Biomass production in temperate forests is most often interpreted within the context of biotic or top-down controls, such as species composi...
A new study says that the tropical forests of Western Equatorial Africa (WEA) -- which include significant stands of Intact Forest Landscapes (IFLs) -- are increasingly coming under pressure from logging, poaching, and associated disturbances....
Publication date: 1 October 2019Source: Forest Ecology and Management, Volume 449Author(s): Carlos Delano Cardoso de Oliveira, Izabela Regina Cardoso de Oliveira, Marcio Seiji Suganuma, Giselda DuriganAbstractTree planting is the most widely used technique for tropical forest restoration because it accelerates the recovery of forest structure and ecosystem functioning. Despite the importance of tr...

However, little is known about how surface and belowground w...
Tropical forests Some herders in Kenya are replacing their cattle with more “climate-resistant” camels (WRI). Ecological restoration could benefit more than just ecosystems (CIFOR Forests News). Could indigenous knowledge outpace technology in providing sustainable agricultural solutions? (Ensia) Palm oil’s shift to Central Africa brings peril and promise (CIFOR Forests News). Scientists fin...
Abstract In order to understand the management of regional vegetation, numerical classification and ordination are widely used to investigate community distribution and vegetation features. In particular, two-way indicator-species analysis programs (TWINSPAN) classifies plots and species into different groups. De-trended correspondence analysis (DCA) and canonical correspondence ...
Why Sustainable Forestry Is a Good Investment Comments|Add Comment|PrintSenegalese villagers plant mangrove trees. Photo by Livelihoods Carbon Fund A decade ago, 100,000 volunteers from the Senegalese villages of Casamance and Siné Saloum joined together to replant 80 million mangrove trees, the world’s largest mangrove restoration program. Ten years later, the mangroves have sequestered more ...
Managing invasive species is one of the largest challenges that land managers face. They threaten the health of natural ecosystems, prevent the growth of native species, and leave landowners with significant amounts of damage. “More than 4,300 exotic plant species and 66 foreign pest species that can cause negative effects on forest ecosystems and economies […]...
