Die Ausgestaltung der Waldklimapolitik in Deutschland ist mit zahlreichen Interessenskonflikten verbunden und bedarf Entscheidungshilfen zu derzeitigen und künftigen Handlungsoptionen. Eine Entscheidungsgrundlage für Handlungsoptionen zur zukünftigen Waldbehandlung und Holzver-wendung sind...

Der vorliegende Bericht befasst sich mit der Berechnung und Interpretation von Strukturparametern des Clusters Forst und Holz für das Jahr 2014 und ergänzt damit die seit 2000 bestehende Zeitreihe. Die Berechnungen basieren auf den Daten des statistischen Bundesamtes und der Bundesagentur für...

Die Agrar- und Forstpolitiken der EU und Deutschlands stehen in einem politökonomischen Spannungsverhältnis zwischen Wertschöpfung und Rohstoffproduktion als ökonomieorientierte Ziele einerseits, der Ökologisierung der Landnutzung andererseits und schließlich dem Ziel der Förderung der...

Canadian forests are often perceived as pristine and among the last remaining wilderness, but the majority of them are officially managed and undergo direct land use, mostly for wood harvest. This land use has modified their functions and properties, often inadvertently (e.g., age structure) but...

The paper investigates spatial heterogeneity of the public’s preferences for the implementation of a new country-wide forest management and protection program in Poland. Spatial econometric methods and high resolution geographical information system (GIS) data related to forest characteristics...

Die vorliegende Untersuchung beschäftigt sich mit der Information und Kommunikation in den forstlichen Organisationen des Landes Baden-Württemberg. Um Informationen zu erhalten und die Organisation mittels Kommunikation zielorientiert führen zu können, werden in den Baden-Württembergischen...

Environment as it stands today; is a subject much discussed but less used in our daily lives. If we can use and not abuse our ecology; we might make our lives better in every sense i.e. working in our gardens gives us mental peace, physical exercise, fresh fruits and vegetables and most of all;...

The paper provides a continuous-time version of the discrete-time Mitra-Wan model of optimal forest management, where trees are harvested to maximize the utility of timber flow over an infinite time horizon. The available trees and the other parameters of the problem vary continuously with...

Central Asia including Kyrgyzstan is a disaster prone area, suffering from snow avalanches, landslides and flooding. Within the Tyan-Shan region, a mountainous region in Southern Kyrgyzstan, there is an increasing number of natural hazards over the last years. One of the possible causes of the...

We propose to test the portfolio selection theory on the historical data of tree species’ productivities obtained from the French National Forest Inventory (IFN). We determine the optimal timber productivity-vulnerability arrangements out of the combinations of tree species and map the optimal...

One of the main impediments to a correct forest management has to do with serious gaps in public participation and stakeholders’ involvement in drawing up and carrying out public policies. The Natura 2000 Montemuro Mountain Site is paradigmatic of this situation. By looking at a set of...

In this paper, we propose to analyse the choice of risk management activity made by a non-industrial private forest owner who derives utility from consumption and from the sentimental value of the forest that bears a risk of disaster. We consider a bivariate utility function depending on...

The Asian Development Bank (ADB) supported the provincial authorities of Quang Nam in Viet Nam to scale up the implementation of payments for forest environmental services (PFES) through a technical assistance financed by the Governments of Sweden and Norway. The project pilot-tested two...
