Long-term changes in coarse woody debris abundance in three Appalachian headwater streams with differing best management practices

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2023
IntroductionTimber harvests influence coarse woody debris (CWD) dynamics both initially and long-term—contributing a significant amount of CWD as slash immediately after harvest, but also removing some or all of the mature trees necessary to produce CWD ...

Business and Governance Strategies for Circular Economy Valorization of Construction Timber: A Systematic Review

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The valorization of construction and demolition timber is essential to advancing circular economy objectives but remains constrained by fragmented organizational, network, and institutional practices. For firms in the construction sector, this represents a critical strategic adaptation challenge.

Quantification of potential recruitment of large woody debris in mountain catchments considering the effects of vegetation on hydraulic and geotechnical bank erosion and shallow landslides

E3S Web of Conferences, 2018
Large woody debris (LWD) exacerbates flood damages near civil structures and in urbanized areas and the awareness of LWD as a risk is becoming more and more relevant. The recruitment of “fresh” large woody debris has been documented to play a significant

Large wood in rivers and its influence on flood hazard

Cuadernos de Investigación Geográfica, 2014
In terms of flood hazard, the presence of large wood (logs, trees, branches and roots) in rivers may aggravate the consequences of flood events. This material may affect infrastructures such as bridges, weirs, etc., especially those intersecting forested

Fuel Dynamics Following Wildfire in US Northern Rockies Forests

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2020
Accumulation of dead woody material is a critical management concern following wildfires, especially given the possibility of subsequent wildfires. Forest structure and fuel accumulation are largely driven by site climatic conditions, so variability in ...

A Quantitative Approach for Assessing and Monitoring the Social Licence of Forestry to Operate: A New Zealand Case Study

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Social Licence to Operate (SLO) is an increasingly strategic concern in forestry, yet its evaluation remains largely qualitative. This study presents the first quantitative framework for assessing SLO in New Zealand's forestry sector, adapted from the Boutilier and Thomson model, originally developed for the mining sector.

Circular Economy in Crisis Contexts: An Assessment Framework for Post‐Disaster Building Stock Toward Strategic Autonomy

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Post‐disaster contexts generate large volumes of damaged building stock with significant, yet often unquantified, circularity potential. Through the lens of strategic management, the circular economy emerges as a transformative pathway to strengthen systemic resilience by reducing dependencies on external resources and mitigating supply chain ...

Combining paleoecology and modeling to explore cascading disturbances in forest ecosystems

Ecography, EarlyView.
Climate‐induced cascading disturbance interactions pose a major challenge to the sustainable provision of forest ecosystem services to society. Developing a deeper understanding and enhanced capacity to simulate these interactions is essential for identifying disturbance‐induced tipping points in forest ecosystems, and for improving management in ...
