The material presents the problem of forests, deforestation becoming nowadays a real global problem of mankind. Many millennia ago, population growth required the sacrifice of the forest to make way for crops, today forests are cut primarily for profit, wood being one of the most precious...

The purpose of this study is to understand the legal and policy constraints and opportunities in each of the 17-carbon fund (CF) countries affecting women's land and forest tenure. The study also explores women's ability to exercise land and forest rights in statutory and customary systems; how...

Die Produktivität von Waldökosystemen wird durch die Bereitstellung von Nährstoffen und Wasser gewährleistet. Somit ist das Wissen über die chemischen und physikalischen Eigenschaften der Böden essentiell sowohl zur Beurteilung des Bodenzustands als auch der Güte des Waldstandorts....

Die Arbeitsanleitung der dritten Bodenzustandserhebung im Wald ist die methodische Grundlage der BZE III. Die Erhebung wird in den Jahren 2022-2024 an knapp 1900 Punkten in allen Bundesländern der Bundesrepublik Deutschland durchgeführt. Insgesamt werden über 300 Parameter im Gelände aus den...

Forest ecosystem economic valuation is responsible for ecologically aware and reasonable gains to the country and particularly to the surrounding groups through different means. Thus, the central objective of this study was to analyze the economic valuation Gedo Natural Forest conservation...

This Country Forest Note offers an in-depth picture of the forest sector of Uzbekistan, viewed through a forest landscape lens, and provides guidance to help define goals and identify opportunities for the continued development of the sector. Despite a large number of current challenges, forest...

We study the prevalence of forest fires in Spain in the long run by computing the probability that a forest tree, as opposed to shrub or bush, will be lost to fire over one year. We first show that climate change increases the likelihood of this event. Next, we document how risk grew...

The article introduces the concepts of forest conservation politics from below and Eco-Solidarism to the forest policy and environmental scholarship by analysing radical environmental social movements aiming at mobilizing society to protect forests in Germany. By focussing on the movements´...

The United Nations Statistical Commission (UNSC) adopted the recommended monetary System of Environmental-Economic Accounting – Ecosystem Accounting (SEEA EA) in March 2021. The explicit aim of the SEEA EA is to highlight ecosystem services and environmental assets of individual economic...

In summer 2018, Europe experienced a heatwave that impacted the forest carbon cycle. We assessed the influence of elevated temperatures on the carbon exchange of three forest stands of different types (coniferous, deciduous, and conifer-broadleaved) and a clear-cut area located in the...

The National Park Service and other agencies have argued that our recreation lands face a crisis of deferred maintenance. This paper evaluates two proposals for funding public lands, increasing gate fees and taxing recreational gear. It analyzes the joint welfare effects of such taxes and the...

Soil enzymes are the most potent bioactive components of forest ecosystems. They are involved in carbon and nutrient cycling, and the ratio of ligninase to cellulase activity can be used to effectively track changes in the soil carbon (C) pools for microbial assimilation. However, our...

How do we generate accurate predictions about the timely advancement of clinical trials? We report the methods and results of the first study comparing machine modeling and human crowdsourcing methods in clinical trial prediction. The study spans two 6-month tournaments that focus on trial phase...

The Indonesian state and local community have been conducting forest co-management as part of a new social forestry program initiative. This initiative is proposed to overcome environmental degradation as well as to enhance community well-being by increasing economic outcome of the forest....

Disturbance trends over recent decades indicate that climate change is resulting in increased fire severity and extent in Australia’s temperate Eucalyptus forests. As disturbance cycles become shorter and of greater magnitude empirical measurements are required to identify changes in forest...

Spending time in a forest benefits human health and well-being. Based on the forest spatial types (forest interior and forest edge spaces), landscape elements (architecture, water and roads) and forest stands (coniferous, broadleaf and bamboo forests), this study used the Short-version Revised...

Indonesia has experienced two major forest and land fire events in the past five years. According to government data, the 2015 and 2019 fire episodes led to the burning of around 2.6 million hectares and 1.6 million hectares,1 respectively. The fires and the resulting haze in 2019 led to...

Peru holds an important portion of the South American rainforest. An average deforestation rate of 145,000 ha a year makes it the largest source of GHG emissions. Based on the drivers of deforestation, this paper proposes a deep decarbonization pathway (DDP) through the year 2050 with the...

In the troubled times in which we currently live, the tourism industry has called into question a need for more responsible social practices and more mindful utilisation of natural environments. The Japanese practice of shinrin-yoku, or forest bathing, has not only become a new wellness trend,...

Vertragsnaturschutz im Wald stellt trotz vielfacher wissenschaftlicher und politischer Anstrengungen im Gegensatz zum Vertragsnaturschutz in der Landwirtschaft nur eine Randerscheinung dar. Neben geringen Umsetzungen europäischer Fördermöglichkeiten in nationale Programme bereiten die wenigen...

Green crime, in recent times, has evolved as one of the primary issues across the globe. In nations like India, where most of the poor masses reside in forest areas, illegal activities concerning forests are steadily growing. As a result of its unpleasant effect on nature, it is slowly grabbing...

Using forest biomass procured from forests affected by natural disturbances as a bioenergy source is increasingly considered in the context of climate changes mitigation. This study aimed to determine the effect of biomass procurement, performed alongside lumber harvesting, on natural...

Visiting the forest is one of the most important ecotourism activities and the Arasbaran forest is known as a unique region for nature-based tourism in the northwest of Iran. In order to illustrate the tourism climate potential of the Arasbaran forest, this study was conducted using Tourism...
