Forest Tenure and Sustainable Forest Management

open access: yesOpen Journal of Forestry, 2015
We reviewed the principles and key literature related to forest tenure and sustainable forest management, and then examined the status of sustainable forestry and land ownership at the aggregate national level for major forested countries. The institutional design principles suggested by Ostrom are well accepted for applications to public, communal ...

Sustainable Forestry in the Tropics: Panacea or Folly? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
The profitability of uncontrolled logging can be a significant obstacle to sustainable forest management, especially in the tropics. Rice et al. (1997) have argued that not only does traditional selective logging provide higher returns but also incurs ...

The Potential of Fully Polarized ALOS-2 Data for Estimating Forest Above-Ground Biomass

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2022
SAR data have a longer wavelength and stronger penetrating power compared with traditional optical remote sensing. Therefore, SAR data are more suitable for the estimation of the above-ground biomass (AGB) of forests.

Composites of Shellac and Silver Nanowires as Flexible, Biobased, and Corrosion‐Resistant Transparent Conductive Electrodes

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Shellac, a centuries‐old natural resin, is reimagined as a green material for flexible electronics. When combined with silver nanowires, shellac films deliver transparency, conductivity, and stability against humidity. These results position shellac as a sustainable alternative to synthetic polymers for transparent conductors in next‐generation ...
