Soil Recovery After Forest Operations in Fagus sylvatica L. Stands: Is a 5‐year Interval Long Enough?

Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 130, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract This study evaluates the effects of ground‐based logging on soil properties and microarthropod biodiversity in Mediterranean beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) forests, with a focus on recovery over a 5‐year period. Fieldwork was conducted in three study areas in southern Italy to compare three site types: recently harvested (2021, NEW), harvested 5 ...

Geomorphic Factors Impact Groundwater Levels More Than Harvesting in a Coast Redwood Forest

Hydrological Processes, Volume 39, Issue 11, November 2025.
Our study investigated what factors might impact wet and dry season groundwater levels in a northern coast redwood forest. We found that soil depth was the most important explanatory factor for wet and dry season groundwater levels, followed by slope and basal area. Annual precipitation and soil moisture were of minimal importance. ABSTRACT Groundwater

Carbon costs of different pathways for reducing fire hazard in the Sierra Nevada

Ecological Applications, Volume 35, Issue 7, October 2025.
Abstract Restoring a low‐intensity, frequent‐fire regime in fire‐prone forests offers a promising natural climate solution. Management interventions that include prescribed fire and/or mechanical treatments have effectively reduced fire hazards in the Western United States, yet concerns remain regarding their impact on forest carbon storage. This study

Carbon dynamics following variable retention harvesting in boreal mixedwood forests

Ecological Applications, Volume 35, Issue 7, October 2025.
Abstract Retention harvests are promoted as an alternative to clearcuts to enhance ecological values in managed forests. Understanding how retention affects carbon (C) dynamics over time and in various forest types is important for balancing objectives like timber production and C storage.

Insufficient Logging Intervals Impede Upper Soil Recovery in Temperate Beech Forests: Insights From Two Case‐Studies in Poland

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.
This study examined the effects of forest operations on soil microarthropod biodiversity and litter decomposition in temperate beech forests, comparing disturbed and undisturbed soils across different harvesting timelines. While litter decomposition remained unaffected, significant soil disturbances were found in areas impacted by machine passage, with

Green Extraction and Fractionation of Chestnut Wood Waste: A Sustainable Pathway to Biopolymers and Antimicrobial Solutions

ChemSusChem, Volume 18, Issue 18, September 23, 2025.
A sustainable valorization of chestnut wood waste is proposed through microwave‐assisted subcritical water extraction, optimized via central composite design. The extract is fractionated by membrane filtration and resin purification, enabling water recovery (up to 89%) and obtaining a tannin‐rich fraction, used to synthesize a PVA‐based biopolymer ...

Efficiency of Timber Skidding Operation in Pasoh Forest Jelebu, Peninsular Malaysia

Journal of Sylva Indonesiana
Timber skidding is one of the most important elements of forest harvesting. The forest harvesting process includes all operations from tree cutting and logging to a mill, rail depot, or ship dock. Efficiency is the ability to avoid wasting materials, energy, efforts, money, and time in doing something or in producing a desired result.
