Social and cultural considerations for the restoration of ‘lost’ tree species: The fall and rise of elm

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Attempts to address biodiversity loss have led to ecosystem and species restoration efforts. Tree species restoration is particularly relevant because of increasing threats from pests and pathogens. However, there are different notions of ‘loss’, as well as sociocultural considerations, including social acceptability, which are often neglected

How much timber from Norway spruce (Picea abies L.) is left on the harvesting site as treetops? A study on scaling and grading yields of harvesters

Annals of Forest Science
Key message Timber losses during Norway spruce (Picea abies L.) harvesting with the cut-to-length method were analyzed using data from 41,948 stems. The volume of timber left on the site after CTL harvesting reached 0.111% overall and 0.454% for stems ...

Planning horizons and end conditions for sustained yield studies in continuous cover forests

, 2014
The contemporary forestry preoccupation with non-declining even-flow during yield simulations detracts from more important questions about the constraints that should bind the end of a simulation.

Bushmeat consumption frequency and preferences among rural households in a West African savanna landscape: Implications for food security and conservation

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract The drivers of consumer demand for bushmeat are relatively well studied in tropical forest systems, but much less so in savanna areas. This is important because differing ecological and socio‐economic conditions lead to different factors affecting the relationship between local communities and their natural resources.

Identifying knowledge barriers to agroforestry adoption and co‐designing solutions to them

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Compared to monocultures, agroforestry can promote biodiversity, ecosystem functioning and climate resilience, whilst maintaining or enhancing production and profits. Despite this, uptake in temperate regions remains low. Knowledge gaps amongst land managers are a primary barrier to uptake, but little is known about which aspects of ...

Vplivni dejavniki poseka v zasebnih gozdovih Slovenije v obdobju 1995-2014

Acta Silvae et Ligni, 2018
We analyzed the characteristics of timber harvesting in private forests of Slovenia during the 1995-2014 period. The survey included forest sub-compartments that had been completely privately owned in the studied period (n = 16,234).

Amenities and Risk in Forest Management [PDF]

The objective of the paper is to analyze the risk management behavior of a non-industrial private forest owner under uncertainty about timber production. Two types of hedging strategies with harvesting decisions are studied: a financial practice versus a
