Greenhouse Gas Reduction Potential Through Bioheat for Remote Communities in Northeastern Ontario

GCB Bioenergy, Volume 18, Issue 7, July 2026.
Heating infrastructure in remote areas has high potential for fuel switching, possibly leading to decreased greenhouse gas emissions. Using a simplified life cycle analysis approach, we show that woody residues from the forest industry have the potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions compared to commonly used fossil fuels.

Using LiDAR to quantify, map, and conserve late‐successional and old‐growth forest in Maine, USA

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract The world continues to lose late‐successional and old‐growth (LSOG) forest as the human population and demand for wood fiber grow. However, older forest age classes provide structural and compositional characteristics important to biodiversity that are often not present in forests managed for timber.

Complementary Evidence From Historical and Contemporary Gene Dispersal Reveals Contrasting Population Dynamics in a Tropical Tree Species

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Gene flow shapes the demographic stability and evolutionary potential of tropical forest trees, yet its dynamics may differ depending on the temporal scale at which it is assessed. We combined spatial genetic structure (SGS), parentage analyses, and reproductive success metrics to investigate historical and contemporary gene dispersal in four ...

Mapping Skid Trails and Evaluating Soil Disturbance From UAV‐Based LiDAR Surveys in Mediterranean Forests

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 3, Page 1082-1092, 15 February 2026.
ABSTRACT Soil disturbance resulting from forest harvesting activities can have significant and lasting environmental consequences, particularly in sensitive ecosystems such as Mediterranean forests. Skid trails, the routes used by machinery to extract timber, are among the most critical areas of impact, and their detection is critical for assessing ...

Forest road planning considering road and skidding costs (Case study: Kheyrud Forest) [PDF]

مجله جنگل ایران, 2011
Hyrcanian forests are the only forests designated for commercial timber production inIran. Ground-based skidding is the most common timber harvesting system used in these forests, but due to low road density (1-2m/ha), large parts of the forests are ...

Timber and trails: Low‐intensity selective logging and elephant trails shape seedling dynamics in an Afrotropical forest

Ecological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Very low‐intensity selective logging can be a compromise between strict conservation and income‐generating land use in tropical forests. Investigating how selective logging influences the understory environment and seedling dynamics as the forest regenerates offers insights into whether logging alters forest dynamics, influencing the ...

Evaluating potential altered harvest and predator management strategies to increase white‐tailed deer population growth in the Southeastern United States

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 1, January 2026.
In some portions of the southeastern United States where white‐tailed deer populations are declining, alteration of adult female harvest levels and the availability of alternative foods for coyotes can help increase population growth. Abstract White‐tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) populations in the southeastern United States have declined from ...
