Abstract:
... Forest ecosystems are shaped by internal dynamics and external factors like forest management. A modified physical appearance of ecosystems may affect the short- and long-term provision of ecosystem goods and services (EG&S) from forests. Ecosystem functioning research provides powerful tools for both, the mechanistic description of ecosystem dynamics and the normative assessment of the value of e ...

Abstract:
... For the needs of fuel consumption analysis, a database for a period of 2 years was created for three types of skidders operating in two different management methods—even-aged and selective forests. A total of 436 skidders were processed in the database, of which 255 skidders worked in even-aged forests and 181 skidders worked in selective forests. The average consumption of skidders in even-aged f ...

Abstract:
... Three cases of violation of forest management regulations in Estonia in 2004, 2005 and 2007 are presented in the study where the required lower limit of basal area after thinnings was not followed. These stands were revisited in 2017 to assess the impacts of such thinnings. The actual thinnings were well justified from the silvicultural and economic viewpoints. All three stands were ecologically i ...

Abstract:
... The impacts of climate change have prompted forest practitioners and decision makers to consider assisted migration (a form of plant translocation) as a management strategy. Historically, decisions around forest management, including the application of novel approaches, have been driven by the interests of particular groups and informed by a narrow range of knowledge inputs. Drawing on our program ...

In Europe, 60% of the forest area is privately owned, with a significant proportion of nonindustrial private forest (NIPF) being highly fragmented with, in particular, low intensity forest management. Numerous typologies have therefore been developed to provide detailed guidance to policy makers for the design of policy instruments to involve these owners in forest management approaches. However, ...
