Publication date: 15 March 2020Source: Forest Ecology and Management, Volume 460Author(s): Timothée Fouqueray, Antoine Charpentier, Michel Trommetter, Nathalie Frascaria-LacosteAbstractAdapting forest management to climate change is a key issue, as forests are crucial for mitigation policies and the provision of many ecosystem services. Understanding the magnitude of the progress made in this res...
Abstract Key message Multi-objective forest planning methods were used to assess the trade-offs between three ecosystem services: timber production, erosion protection and biodiversity. The use of trade-off analysis helps to define proper weights for the managem...
Publication date: 15 March 2020Source: Forest Ecology and Management, Volume 460Author(s): Shelby R. Timm, Alexander J. Wolf, Xiaoming Gao, Kenneth F. KellnerAbstractBehaviorally cryptic or uncommon herpetofauna are often understudied due to the extensive effort it requires to obtain adequate data for statistical analysis. Additionally, potential impacts from forest management on these already sma...
Publication date: 15 March 2020Source: Forest Ecology and Management, Volume 460Author(s): Victor Alexandre Hardt Ferreira dos Santos, Marciel José FerreiraAbstractEnrichment planting has the potential to conserve wide areas of secondary forest in the Amazon. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the effects of silvicultural treatments applied to secondary forest management on the initial esta...

We employed a paired-tree sampling approach within mixed stands to test the effects of evergreen conifer versus ...
Publication date: 15 March 2020Source: Forest Ecology and Management, Volume 460Author(s): Warren P. Reed, Margot W. KayeAbstractLithology influences forest carbon storage and productivity yet is often overlooked for forests of the eastern United States, a large and important carbon sink. This research explores the influence of two common lithologies of the Ridge and Valley physiographic province ...

African American forest landowners in the southern United States (US) are typically considered a homogenous group in current studies. Our research challenges this assumption by identifying four distinct forest management outlooks among African American forest landowners using Q Method. Sustainable Harvesters focus on balanced land use with a long-term outlook; Back 40ers appreciate the presence of...
Federal Government support packages of up to $75,000 for primary producers affected by the bushfire crisis have been welcomed by the nation’s timber industry bodies. Both the Australian Forest Products Association, Institute of Foresters of Australia and the Australian Forest Growers, have thrown their support behind the package.

DeWitt, Neil DawsonAbstractAssessing the impacts of forest harvest on biodiversity is a key mandate for demonstrating sustainable forest management in many jurisdictions, yet the identification of an appropriate suite of wildlife and habitat indicators remains a challeng...
Publication date: 1 March 2020Source: Forest Ecology and Management, Volume 459Author(s): Leo Gallus Bont, Andreas Hill, Lars T. Waser, Anton Bürgi, Christian Ginzler, Clemens BlattertAbstractManaging forests for ecosystem services and biodiversity requires accurate and spatially explicit forest inventory data. A major objective of forest management inventories is to estimate the standing timber ...
Plans by Prime Minister Scott Morrison to take a proposal to Cabinet to establish a royal commission into the current catastrophic bushfires have been generally welcomed by the timber industry. Source: Timberbiz Climate change, and how to better prepare and adapt for the “new normal” of longer, hotter bushfire seasons, will be included in the review. Bushfire preparations, responses, recover...
