Silviculture in African moist forests : do we have new answers to old questions? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The silviculture of African tropical moist forests has a long history punctuated with (few) successes and (many) failures. The European foresters in charge of managing forests in the African colonies realized early - e.g. 1900 in Nigeria - that they were

Bridging data gaps: Evidence‐based population assessment for an endemic amphibian of conservation concern

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Plethodon welleri exhibits strong seasonal shifts in elevational activity with abundance and occupancy being linked to terrain characteristics. Despite historical habitat assumptions, P. welleri occurs in a broad range of forest types across a larger elevation gradient. Photo Credit to Maxwell Ramey.

Proximity to bait and social interactions influence individual wild pig (Sus scrofa) visitation at bait sites

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Individual wild pig bait site visitation and time to initial detection is primarily influenced by space use (i.e., proximity to bait) and whether wild pigs from other social groups visited before. Specifically, females are less likely to visit a bait site if an adult male visits a site before them.

Steel-to-Timber and Timber-to-Timber Simple Shear Connections

open access: yesWSEAS TRANSACTIONS ON APPLIED AND THEORETICAL MECHANICS
The main objective of this manuscript is to present an analytical procedure of steel-to-timber and timber-to-timber connections in simple shear, related to the calculated number of dowels needed. These types of connections need to be assembled by dowel–type fasteners, such as nails, screws, bolts, and dowels.

Carbon Stock and Environmental Variations of Typical Plantations in Mufu Mountain in Hubei Province, China

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Forest ecosystems play a critical role in the global carbon cycle. As a significant terrestrial carbon sink, plantations exhibit carbon stock patterns that are shaped by tree species composition, stand structure, and environmental conditions. Here, we investigated typical plantation types in the Mufu Mountain, Hubei Province.

A Comparison of Timber Models for Use in Public Policy Analysis [PDF]

open access: yes
In this paper, we compare and contrast two types of timber models that have been used for public policy analysis. These models have been variously used to predict price, inventory and market welfare impacts under different exogenous forces that impact ...
