Guide to fuel treatments in dry forests of the western United States : assessing forest structure and fire hazard / [PDF]
, 2007 The Fire and Fuels Extension of the Forest Vegetation Simulator (FFE-FVS) was used to calulate the immediate effects of treatments on surface fuels, fire hazard, potential fire behavior, and forest structure for respresentative dry forest stands in the ...

How Costly are Carbon Offsets? A Meta-Analysis of Forest Carbon Sinks [PDF]
Carbon terrestrial sinks are seen as a low-cost alternative to fuel switching and reduced fossil fuel use for lowering atmospheric CO2. As a result of agreements reached at Bonn and Marrakech, carbon offsets have taken on much greater importance in ...

Occurrence patterns of dead wood and wood-dependent lichens in managed boreal forest landscapes [PDF]
, 2013 Dead wood is a key resource for biodiversity, on which thousands of forest organisms are dependent. Because of current forest management, there has been a large-scale change in dead wood amounts and qualities, and consequently, many wood-dependent ...

Forest Fuel Bed Variation in Tropical Coastal Freshwater Forested Wetlands Disturbed by Fire [PDF]
Tropical coastal freshwater forested wetlands in coastal regions are rapidly disappearing as a result of various disturbance agents, mainly wildfires caused by high accumulations of forest fuels.

Soil Compaction and Visual Disturbance Following an Integrated Mechanical Forest Fuel Reduction Operation in Southwest Oregon [PDF]
, 2009 Most mechanical forest fuel reduction treatments prescribed to extract biomass are performed with existing or modified conventional logging equipment. Treatments that commonly harvest small, non-merchantable trees are often combined with or integrated ...

BIOFUELS AND LEAKAGES IN THE FUEL MARKET [PDF]
Leakage in the fuel market differs, depending on whether ethanol production is determined by a tax credit or consumption mandate. Two components of market leakage are distinguished: domestic and international.

An integrated study of mechanical forest fuel reduction: quantifying multiple factors at the stand level [PDF]
Recent catastrophic wildfires have forced the forest management community to develop new strategies for reducing forest fuels. Tightly spaced understory trees often create a fire ladder allowing surface fires to encroach into the crowns of overstory ...

Vegetation response to a short interval between high-severity wildfires in a mixed-evergreen forest [PDF]
, 2009 1 Variations in disturbance regime strongly influence ecosystem structure and function. A prominent form of such variation is when multiple high-severity wildfires occur in rapid succession (i.e. short-interval (SI) severe fires, or ‘re-burns’).

DO TROPICAL FORESTS PROVIDE A SAFETY NET? INCOME SHOCKS AND FOREST EXTRACTION IN MALAWI [PDF]
We use seasonal household data on income shocks and forest extraction to study how households in Malawi use forests to cope with income shortfalls. In particular, we study household response to receipt of a positive income shock delivered in the form of ...
