Climate change will exacerbate land conflict between agriculture and timber production

Nature Climate Change
Timber and agricultural production must both increase throughout this century to meet rising demand. Understanding how climate-induced shifts in agricultural suitability will trigger competition with timber for productive land is crucial.

Optimizing stand structure for trade‐offs between overstory timber production and understory plant diversity: A case‐study of a larch plantation in northwest China

Land Degradation and Development, 2018
Trade‐offs are often required for an optimal and sustainable supply of competing services from forests. A study was conducted in northwest China to explore a practical trade‐off approach, for promoting the rehabilitation of service‐degraded plantation ...

Using Timber as a Renewable Resource for Energy Production in Sustainable Forest Management

Energies, 2022
Using timber from multifunctional forests for energy production can be economically viable and environmentally friendly when it is consistent with the principles of sustainable management; otherwise, it could be harmful from both an ecological and ...

Adaptive optimisation of the management of Korean pine plantation

Forest Ecosystems
Forest management planning faces uncertainties regarding future timber prices, tree growth, and survival. Future seed production is an additional source of uncertainty in Korean pine stands managed for the joint production of timber and edible seeds ...

How Forest Management affects Ecosystem Services, including Timber Production and Economic Return: Synergies and Trade-Offs

Ecology and Society, 2012
Forest ecosystems deliver multiple goods and services and, traditionally, forest owners tend to have a high interest in goods in the form of merchantable wood.

Fallows, agroforests and forests: should tropical silviculture go beyond the forest margin? [PDF]

, 2011
Over the recent years, studies on small scale, chainsaw logging in a number of countries of West and Central Africa have documented the gap between timber production as recorded in official statistics vs. actual national production.

Analysis of Inheritance and Growth of Curly Birch Progenies from Controlled Hybridisation and Possibilities of their Utilisation for Timber Production in Agricultural Landscape

Czech Journal of Genetics and Plant Breeding, 2004
The influence of habit form on progeny growth was studied within the evaluation of the height growth of curly birch hybrid progenies. In all years 1998, 1999 and 2001 statistically significant differences in height were found between progenies in ...

The Due diligence system in the EU’s Timber Regulation: non-tariff trade barrier or leverage effect? [PDF]

, 2016
This paper presents a novel spatial equilibrium model to analyse the leverage impact of the EU’s Timber Regulation on sustainable timber production. This leverage effect is an argument in favour of FLEGT but it has never been investigated thoroughly, or ...

A model for regional analysis of carbon sequestration and timber production [PDF]

, 2005
The greenhouse effect is one of our most severe current environmental problems. Forests make up large ecosystems and can play an important role in mitigating the emissions of CO2, the most important greenhouse gas. Different management regimes affect the
