Nutrient Budgets in Forests Under Increased Biomass Harvesting ScenariosCurrent Forestry Reports - Tập 2 - Trang 81-91 - 2016
David Paré, Evelyne Thiffault
A developing bioeconomy and the need for alternate sources of energy are promoting a more intensive procurement and use of forest biomass. While it is a fact that increased biomass harvesting generates greater nutrient losses from forest ecosystems relative to stem-only harvesting, the use of nutrient budget approaches as a decision support tool in managing forests under intensive biomass removal ...... hiện toàn bộ
Climate Change and Decision-Making Under UncertaintyCurrent Forestry Reports - Tập 2 - Trang 143-149 - 2016
Rasoul Yousefpour, Marc Hanewinkel
This paper highlights the main risks and uncertainties associated with climate change in forest management. The overarching challenge is the deep uncertainty about the future direction of changes in climate denoted by representative concentration pathways (RCPs). Moreover, climate change poses new sources of risk from frequent, more intensive, and even novel disturbances in forest ecosystems. Adap...... hiện toàn bộ
Reviewing the Use of Resilience Concepts in Forest SciencesCurrent Forestry Reports - Tập 6 - Trang 61-80 - 2020
L. Nikinmaa, M. Lindner, E. Cantarello, A. S. Jump, R. Seidl, G. Winkel, B. Muys
Resilience is a key concept to deal with an uncertain future in forestry. In recent years, it has received increasing attention from both research and practice. However, a common understanding of what resilience means in a forestry context and how to operationalise it is lacking. Here, we conducted a systematic review of the recent forest science literature on resilience in the forestry context, s...... hiện toàn bộ
Conservation and Monitoring of Tree Genetic Resources in Temperate ForestsCurrent Forestry Reports - Tập 2 - Trang 119-129 - 2016
Filippos A. (Phil) Aravanopoulos
In the era of predicted significant environmental change, genetic conservation and monitoring of long-lived forest trees are of paramount importance for the survival of natural populations. Genetic conservation aims to protect and preserve genetic variation, vital for the maintenance of adaptive potential within populations and species. This paper discusses the advances made in gene conservation a...... hiện toàn bộ
A Review of Performance Bonding in Forest Policy SettingsCurrent Forestry Reports - - 2016
Olli-Pekka Kuusela, Gregory S. Amacher
Forest policies have typically relied on prescriptive standards to mitigate various nonpoint negative externalities, whereas more recent approaches have focused on the use of incentive-based policies, such as payments for environmental services (PES), to encourage activities associated with positive externalities. We provide a general review on the current state of knowledge concerning prescriptiv...... hiện toàn bộ
Nanocellulose Processing Properties and Potential ApplicationsCurrent Forestry Reports - Tập 5 - Trang 76-89 - 2019
Alain Dufresne
The potential of nanotechnology and nanocomposites in various sectors of research and application is promising and attracting increasing investment. The purpose of this paper is to provide a review of the preparation of nanomaterials from different cellulosic sources including wood. The transformation of cellulose down to the nanoscale endow these nanomaterials with new properties that give cellul...... hiện toàn bộ
Early Diagnosis of Vegetation Health From High-Resolution Hyperspectral and Thermal Imagery: Lessons Learned From Empirical Relationships and Radiative Transfer ModellingCurrent Forestry Reports - Tập 5 - Trang 169-183 - 2019
R. Hernández-Clemente, A. Hornero, M. Mottus, J. Penuelas, V. González-Dugo, J. C. Jiménez, L. Suárez, L. Alonso, P. J. Zarco-Tejada
We provide a comprehensive review of the empirical and modelling approaches used to quantify the radiation–vegetation interactions related to vegetation temperature, leaf optical properties linked to pigment absorption and chlorophyll fluorescence emission, and of their capability to monitor vegetation health. Part 1 provides an overview of the main physiological indicators (PIs) applied in remote...... hiện toàn bộ
