Carbon Content of Tree Tissues: A Synthesis
Tập 3 Số 2 - Trang 332-352
Assessing the potential for forest carbon (C) capture and storage requires
accurate assessments of C in live tree tissues. In the vast majority of local,
regional, and global assessments, C content has been assumed to be 50% of tree
biomass; however, recent studies indicate that this assumption is not accurate,
with substantial variation in C content among tree species as well as among
tissue type...
Forest Values and Forest Management Attitudes among Private Forest Owners in Sweden
Tập 2 Số 1 - Trang 30-50
The present study focused on how forests will be managed in the future in light
of the increased emphasis being put by the public on the ecological and
recreational values of forests, the trend towards an increased share of
non-resident forest owners, and the increased female forest ownership. The value
and belief basis of forest management attitudes was explored using a
questionnaire sent to a sa...
Optimized Maxent Model Predictions of Climate Change Impacts on the Suitable Distribution of Cunninghamia lanceolata in China
Tập 11 Số 3 - Trang 302
Climate change significantly influences changes in ecological phenomena and
processes, such as species distribution and phenology, thus accelerating the
rate of species extinction or prosperity. Climate change is considered to be one
of the most important threats to global biodiversity in the 21st century and
will pose significant challenges to biodiversity conservation in the future. The
use of n...
Impacts of Global Change on Mediterranean Forests and Their Services
Tập 8 Số 12 - Trang 463
The increase in aridity, mainly by decreases in precipitation but also by higher
temperatures, is likely the main threat to the diversity and survival of
Mediterranean forests. Changes in land use, including the abandonment of
extensive crop activities, mainly in mountains and remote areas, and the
increases in human settlements and demand for more resources with the resulting
fragmentation of the...
MaxEnt Modelling and Impact of Climate Change on Habitat Suitability Variations of Economically Important Chilgoza Pine (Pinus gerardiana Wall.) in South Asia
Tập 13 Số 5 - Trang 715
Chilgoza pine is an economically and ecologically important evergreen coniferous
tree species of the dry and rocky temperate zone, and a native of south Asia.
This species is rated as near threatened (NT) by the International Union for
Conservation of Nature (IUCN). This study hypothesized that climatic, soil and
topographic variations strongly influence the distribution pattern and potential
habi...
Factors Influencing the Choice of Management Strategy among Small-Scale Private Forest Owners in Sweden
Tập 5 Số 7 - Trang 1695-1716
Half of the productive forest area in Sweden is owned by small-scale private
forest owners. However, there is a lack of comprehensive information that would
allow categorizing small-scale private forest owners according to their
management strategy. In this study, we surveyed small-scale private forest
owners in Sweden to determine the proportions who applied various management
strategies. We anal...
Timing of Drought Triggers Distinct Growth Responses in Holm Oak: Implications to Predict Warming-Induced Forest Defoliation and Growth Decline
Tập 6 Số 5 - Trang 1576-1597
Droughts negatively impact forests by reducing growth and increasing defoliation
leading to forest dieback as the climate becomes warmer and drier. However, the
timing and severity of droughts determine how differently or intensively water
shortage affects primary (shoot and leaf formation) and secondary growth (stem
radial growth based on tree-ring widths). We compare the impact of two severe
dro...
Predicting the Potential Distribution of Paeonia veitchii (Paeoniaceae) in China by Incorporating Climate Change into a Maxent Model
Tập 10 Số 2 - Trang 190
A detailed understanding of species distribution is usually a prerequisite for
the rehabilitation and utilization of species in an ecosystem. Paeonia veitchii
(Paeoniaceae), which is an endemic species of China, is an ornamental and
medicinal plant that features high economic and ecological values. With the
decrease of its population in recent decades, it has become a locally endangered
species. I...
Development of Comprehensive Fuel Management Strategies for Reducing Wildfire Risk in Greece
Tập 11 Số 8 - Trang 789
A solution to the growing problem of catastrophic wildfires in Greece will
require a more holistic fuel management strategy that focuses more broadly on
landscape fire behavior and risk in relation to suppression tactics and ignition
prevention. Current fire protection planning is either non-existent or narrowly
focused on reducing fuels in proximity to roads and communities where ignitions
are mo...
IoT Monitoring of Urban Tree Ecosystem Services: Possibilities and Challenges
Tập 11 Số 7 - Trang 775
Urban green infrastructure plays an increasingly significant role in sustainable
urban development planning as it provides important regulating and cultural
ecosystem services. Monitoring of such dynamic and complex systems requires
technological solutions which provide easy data collection, processing, and
utilization at affordable costs. To meet these challenges a pilot study was
conducted using...
