Isoprene Responses and Functions in Plants Challenged by Environmental Pressures Associated to Climate Change

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2017
The functional reasons for isoprene emission are still a matter of hot debate. It was hypothesized that isoprene biosynthesis evolved as an ancestral mechanism in plants adapted to high water availability, to cope with transient and recurrent oxidative ...

Small-scale non-industrial private forest ownership in the United States: rationale and implications for forest management

open access: yesSilva Fennica, 2005
The transaction cost approach is used to explain why small non-industrial private forest (NIPF) ownerships are increasing in the U.S. We argue that the number of small NIPF owners have increased because: 1) a significant amount of forestland is no ...

Effects of intensified silviculture on timber production and its economic profitability in boreal Norway spruce and Scots pine stands under changing climatic conditions

open access: yesForestry: An International Journal of Forest Research, 2019
The aim of this study was to examine how intensified silviculture affects timber production (sawlogs and pulpwood) and its economic profitability (net present value [NPV], with 2 per cent interest rate) based on forest ecosystem model simulations.

Effects of Bark Stripping on Timber Production and Structure of Norway Spruce Forests in Relation to Climatic Factors

open access: yesForests, 2019
The aim of this study was to assess the effects of bark stripping caused by sika deer (Cervus nippon [Temminck]) on the production and structure of young Norway spruce (Picea abies L. Karst) forest stands (41–43 years).

From timber management to forest management: an initial discussion on forest management evolution

open access: yesJournal of Forest Science, 2005
Forests have been subject to human intervention since the inception of human civilization. With enhanced knowledge, understanding and capacity humans exert an increasing pressure and influence on forests.

Forest Products—Non-Timber

open access: yes, 2023
The commercial exploitation of non-timber forest products—such as fibers, nuts, spices, medicinal plants, rubber, and rattan—was proposed in the 1990s as a strategy to reconcile conservation and development in tropical forests. Its economic benefits generally have been limited, however, due to several factors—including low-production volume, irregular ...

Carbon versus Timber Economy in Mediterranean Forests

open access: yesAtmosphere, 2021
Forests produce goods and services, but the forest economy is based on goods, with market price, more than on services. Under Mediterranean climate conditions forests have low timber production, being frequently financially loss-making, despite the ...
