Estimating crippling loss from hunting with multistate models: a case study on northern bobwhites

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Hunting as a recreational pursuit provides an important ecosystem service worldwide. Harvest management plays a vital role in regulating wildlife take to ensure long‐term population sustainability and meet value‐based objectives (e.g. hunter satisfaction). However, managers rarely have complete control or observability of harvest mortality.

Effect of Timber Harvesting Techniques and Slopes on Soil Respiration of Young and Mature Black Pine Stands in Northwestern Türkiye

open access: yesBioResources
Releases of CO2 from forest soils was studied relative to different timber harvesting techniques, slope classes, and stand age. Three timber harvesting techniques (suspended skidding (SS), skidding by using a skidding cone (SC), and cable-pulling (CP ...

Costs and efficiency of timber harvesting by NIAB 5–15 processor mounted on a farm tractor

open access: yesCroatian Journal of Forest Engineering, 2007
The present research deals with costs and economic effectiveness of timber harvesting technology with the use of the NIAB 5–15 processor mounted on a farm tractor, which method is used in Poland. Measurements were conducted in pine, fir and spruce stands,

Computer Vision for Timber Harvesting [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The goal of this thesis is to investigate computer vision methods for timber harvesting operations. The background for developing computer vision for timber harvesting is to document origin of timber and to collect qualitative and quantitative parameters

In my opinion: Increasing black engagement with wildlife: Historical context, educational gaps, and opportunities for inclusive conservation

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
Abstract Limited engagement between Black Americans and wildlife is often treated as cultural disinterest rather than the outcome of historical exclusion, racialized trauma, or persistent structural barriers. This perspective obscures the long‐standing relationships Black communities have had with land, agriculture, and conservation, and constrains ...

CIRI LIMBAH PEMANENAN KAYU DI HUTAN RAWA GAMBUT TROPIKA

open access: yesJurnal Ilmu Pertanian Indonesia, 2013
Effectiveness of timber harvesting in peat swamp forest is low. It is indicated by highly logging waste caused by timber harvesting operation. Thus, logging waste should be studied to describe characteristic and volume of logging waste in locations of ...

Comparison of data handling techniques for modeling bat acoustic activity

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
We deployed 169 acoustic recording units (A) across the Raystown Lake Project, Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania, USA (B). Echolocation recordings were used to evaluate alternative acoustic data handling methods and their effects on bat acoustic activity model predictions.

Forestry Economics: Principles and Practice [PDF]

open access: yes
This review discusses bioeconomic models of the forest and uses them to explore policy options for forest management. The main type of bioeconomic model used is based on a biomass model of the growth of the forest, similar to the biomass model widely ...

Trade‐offs between soil biodiversity and agricultural expansion: Evidence from litter decomposition dynamics in Madagascar

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Home‐Field Advantage (HFA) theory—positing that litter decomposes faster at its site of origin—allows us to disentangle the respective influences of litter quality, soil biota composition, and microclimate on shifts in litter decomposition following land use conversion.

Apex predators exploit advantageous snow conditions across hunting modes

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Advantageous snow conditions—in terms of snow depth and density—are among the most important features of the winter landscape for two apex predators, regardless of hunting strategy. In a warming climate, the knock‐on effects of a diminishing snowpack may reduce the hunting success of multiple large carnivore species.
