Integrated Forest Vegetation Management: Stages and Development Prospects

open access: yesForestry Engineering Journal, 2023
When enterprises of the timber industry complex form protective forest plantations along linear infrastructure facilities, the problem of subsequent spontaneous reproduction of tree and shrub vegetation arises, which leads to disorder in the territories of the above facilities and creates a threat to the safety of their operation.

Geology and vegetation control landsliding on forest-managed slopes in scarplands

open access: yesEarth Surface Dynamics, 2022
Abstract. Landslides are important agents of sediment transport, cause hazards and are key agents for the evolution of scarplands. To analyse geologic and vegetation control on landsliding, we investigated three landslides in the Franconian scarplands. We used geomorphic mapping, soil analysis, electrical resistivity and a mechanical stability model to

Which traits are necessary to quickly select suitable plant species for ecological restoration?

open access: yesEcological Solutions and Evidence, 2021
Traditionally, restoration ecologists and land managers have used the trial‐and‐error method to select candidate restoration species. This method, however, is time consuming (usually more than 3 years) and has a relatively low success rate.

Long-term changes in vegetation and land use in mountainous areas with heavy snowfalls in northern Japan: an 80-year comparison of vegetation maps

open access: yesFrontiers in Environmental Science
Comparison of old and new vegetation maps is an effective way to detect vegetation dynamics. Recent developments in computer technology have made it possible to accurately compare old paper vegetation maps with current digitized vegetation maps to reveal

Effects of soil properties on the spatial distribution of forest vegetation across China

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Conservation, 2019
The investigation of factors affecting the spatial distribution of forest vegetation on a large scale is a hot topic in forestry and ecology. Numerous studies have reported that climate and human activities have a considerable effect on the spatial ...

Reducing erosion from forest roads and skid trails by management practices

open access: yesJournal of Forest Science, 2012
A road network in forest lands provides easy access to forest resources for extraction, regeneration, protection and recreation activities. Erosion from forest roads and skid trails is a major concern in forest management due to the capability to cause ...
