- Abstract:
- ... In this article we explore the hidden gender order of the biodiversity policy and, in particular, the social and societal positions offered to male and female forest owners in voluntary conservation. Two studies were conducted in the region where the National Biodiversity Program for Southern Finland (“METSO”) has been implemented. Study 1 focused on forest owners’ discursive practices that constr ...

- Abstract:
- ... Waste dumps generated from mining that exposes sulfur-bearing overburden can be active sources of acid generation with the potential to severely contaminate soils, surface and groundwater, and endanger both local and downstream ecosystems. A waste rock management strategy ensure that disposal of such material is inert or at least stable and contained, and minimizes the surface footprint of the was ...

- Abstract:

Increasing affluence is often postulated as a main driver for the human footprint on biologically productive areas, identified among the main causes of biodiversity loss, but causal relationships are obscured by international trade. Here, we trace the use of land and ocean area through international supply chains to final consumption, modeling agricultural, food, and forestry products on a high le ...

- Abstract:
- ... The problem of food security is likely to be aggravated in India due to increase in its population, growing urbanization, shift in acreage from foodgrain to non-foodgrain crops, and increase in per capita real incomes. To attain food security, top priority must be given to promoting sustainable agricultural production systems by increasing investment on agriculture. The share of agriculture and al ...

With the human population predicted to reach nine billion by 2050, demand for food is predicted to more than double over this time period, a trend which will lead to increased greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from agriculture. Furthermore, expansion in food production is predicted to occur primarily in the developing world, where adaptation to climate change may be more difficult and opportunities t ...

- Abstract:
- ... Agricultural policies, urbanization and globalization processes can lead to profound land use changes. A strategic coordination for the areas that are allocated for agriculture and nature conservation, respectively restoration, is therefore important to achieve greater benefits for all parties, such as by integrated networks of habitat. In this regard the concept of systematic conservation plannin ...

- Abstract:

We investigated how the source and composition of stream dissolved organic matter (DOM) influenced rates of benthic bacterial C production (BCP) in 20 forested, headwater streams in southern Tasmania. We also assessed whether the source and composition of stream DOM was influenced by clearfell forest harvesting (1–19 y after harvest). Stream DOM was dominated by humic- and fulvic-like fluorescence ...

The Faustmann theory of discounted cash flow analysis remains relevant in our modern dynamic environment in which periodic reassessment of various alternatives to ongoing forest investments is necessary. The periodic reassessment can be done using the Alternative Test (ALT) approach, which simply compares the net present value of forest investments with new price and cost data and abandonment valu ...

- Abstract:

For this reason the main purpose of all measures to reduce the compactness of bunch clusters is to increase their health and to improve wine quality. Over the last decade, wine growers in South Tyrol have been commonly applying gibberellins during full flowering in order to reduce bun ...

A realistic perception of the condition of forests, and the attributes of the forestry sector, by the public constitutes one of the basic prerequisites for successful implementation of forest policy in any country. Although data objectively demonstrate that the condition of Czech forests has improved, opinion polls show a gap between the public perception of the condition of Czech forests and the ...

Alongside with its use in agricultural and forestry systems, this herbicide is used in grasslands in late summer with the aim of promoting winter species with the consequent increase in stocking rate. However, its effects on non-target organisms, such as arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), are unclear. Arbuscular ...

With the development of terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) and its applications in forestry, the question arises as to how the scanners should be ideally placed for the best possible data acquisition. We searched for an optimal scanning distance for recognition of stems in natural beech-dominated forests, focusing particularly on the shading effect of tree stems and terrain. Recognised tree stems in ...
