El monocultivo de pino radiata en el País Vasco: origen y claves de permanencia de un sistema de explotación contrario al desarrollo sostenible

Estudios Geográficos, 2008
El País Vasco dispone de un importante patrimonio forestal; sin embargo, una parte sustancial de los montes se dedican al monocultivo del pino radiata —Pinus radiata D.

Amidst (waste) abundance: world‐making and struggles in hosting a municipal landfill in the Bolivian lowlands Au milieu de l'abondance (de déchets) : fabrication du monde et luttes liées à la gestion d'une décharge municipale dans les basses terres de Bolivie

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
In recent decades, solid waste has proliferated worldwide, becoming a pressing global issue. This article explores the role of Indigenous people dwelling within and upon emerging waste scenarios, with a specific focus on involved forms of sociality and ontological contestation. Drawing on the case of a municipal landfill sited on a Guarani community in

As above, so below: A perspective into the application of land‐forest monitoring methods for the assessment of marine animal forests

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Marine animal forests (MAFs) are benthic ecosystems dominated by vertically structuring filter‐ and suspension‐feeders. As terrestrial forests, they are considered biodiversity hotspots, forming canopies, serving as a refuge, nursery, reproduction and feeding shelters for many species.

A novel approach for distinguishing noise and information in forest MLS‐point clouds

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract 3D laser scanning is a cornerstone of modern forest and ecological research, allowing detailed insight into forest structures and dynamics. Although point cloud processing and noise management are crucial steps in the exploitation of LiDAR data, traditional denoising methods are usually based on the assumption of a Gaussian noise distribution,

Monitoring African Megafauna in an Anthropogenic Landscape: A 15‐Year Case Study of the Vulnerable West African Giraffe

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
We used pattern recognition software to correct misidentifications in a 15‐year photographic database of the last, vulnerable West African giraffe population in Niger. After revealing substantial methodological errors that had inflated population estimates by nearly 19%, we corrected individual encounter histories and applied capture‐mark‐recapture ...

Survival Remains High in Griffon Vultures 40 Years After Reintroduction

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
The reintroduction of the Griffon vulture (Gyps fulvus) in French Grands Causses in 1981 is largely regarded as a significant translocation success. 40 years of quality data from intensive monitoring allows us to investigate the survival rates in this long‐lived population on the long term, but also to reflect on the crucial role of adaptive management

Silviculture alternatives evaluation for managing complex Quercus pyrenaica Willd. stands

Forest Systems
Aim of study: Despite its potential in the wood industry, Pyrenean oak (Quercus pyrenaica Willd.) has suffered from traditional use as firewood and the lack of profitable management guidelines, leading to the deterioration of its stands.

Lessons learned from screening potential other effective area‐based conservation measures

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Other effective area‐based conservation measures (OECMs) are sites that deliver effective biodiversity outcomes irrespective of their management objectives. These areas are widely expected to play an important role in efforts to protect 30% of Earth by 2030.

Case study: the management of Mediterranean pyrophyte ecosystems dominated by Cistus ladanifer

Revista Cubana de Ciencias Forestales, 2019
The aim of this work is to review the research carried out on the prevention of forest fires in Mediterranean jarales through the enhancement of mycological resources. Cistus ladanifer (jara pringosa) is a Mediterranean pyrophyte scrub widely distributed

Improving availability and utilization of forest inventory and land use map data using Linked Open Data

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change
IntroductionModern forestry increasingly relies on the management of large datasets, such as forest inventories and land cover maps. Governments are typically in charge of publishing these datasets, but they typically employ disparate data formats ...
