The Nature of the Boreal Forest
Space and Culture, 2003This article addresses the ontological status of nature in environmental politics by taking up the question of sustainable forest management in the Canadian boreal. In particular, it draws from Michel Foucault's notion of governmentality to argue that the historicity of “forest-nature” is indispensable for understanding the politics of sustainable ...

Natural forest regeneration-soil relationships in a fire disturbed urban natural area forest
Urban Forestry & Urban Greening, 2021Abstract Sustainability for urban natural area forests can be achieved with extensive natural regeneration of the native canopy species. A new urban forest management protocol “SAFE” (Soils Aliens Fire Exclosure) has the goal of increasing natural regeneration through: soil treatments; alien species treatments; fire surveillance; and large herbivores

Conversion of exploited natural Dipterocarp forests into semi-natural production forests
1993According to Indonesian regulations Dipterocarp forests of Kalimantan should be treated by the Indonesian selection system. It assumes, that in a 35-year cycle merchantable trees of > 50 cm diameter can be harvested sustainably. De facto most stands are heavily exploited by successive cuttings and subsequently either left untreated, leading to ...

Natural Rain Forest Management
1991Southeast Asia1 includes the tallest tropical rain forests of the world with the greatest timber volume, especially in western Malesia, where Dipterocarpaceae dominate. The number of dipterocarp genera and species decrease with distance from Borneo, but the commercial timber stocking is highest where comparatively few species dominate, as they do in ...

BioScience, 1987
urrently, much public concern and research effort focuses on forest dieback in industrial countries. Factors associated with air pollution, such as acid rain, nitrous oxide, changes in the ozone level, and heavy metal deposition are often considered responsible for tree mortality on both sides of the Atlantic.

“Natural” Mixed Forests and “Artificial” Monospecific Forests
1983Although some forests, particularly in Europe, have been managed for several centuries, they remain relatively natural ecosystems compared with agricultural crops. Ever since Man established himself in or near woodlands, he has tended to “domesticate” the forest, favoring certain species over others.

Natural Forest Benefits and Economic Analysis of Natural Forest Conversion in Cambodia
Working Paper, 2006This study investigates the economic and environmental implications of converting Cambodia’s natural forests into alternative land uses. Using a Total Economic Value (TEV) framework and a value flow model, the research assesses direct and indirect benefits of evergreen, semi-evergreen, and deciduous forests, including non-timber forest products (NTFPs),

In studies of forest and nature governance the dominant approaches are rational choice and neo-institutionalism. This book takes another perspective. Departing from ‘practice theory’, and building upon scholars like Giddens, Bourdieu, Reckwitz, Schatzki and Callon, it seeks to move beyond established understandings of institutions, actors, and ...
