Abstract:
... Forest area is increasing in temperate biomes through active and passive restoration of old fields. Despite the large extension of restored forests, the success of contrasting restoration strategies (active – planted forests ‐ vs. passive – secondary forests ‐) over time has never been evaluated in Mediterranean forests. We studied how restoration strategy determined forest restoration success. We ...

Abstract:
... Consideration of viewer sensitivity is an important part of visual resource management and visual impact assessment. However, there is scant research to support the assessment of viewer sensitivity, particularly across viewers engaged in different recreation activities. This study uses data from the U. S. Forest Service’s National Visitor Use Monitoring program to investigate the role of a reporte ...

It combines a process-based carbon balance approach with a strong inventory-based empirical component. The model has been linked to the global forest sector model EFI-GTM to secure consistency between timber cutting and demand, alt ...

Abstract:
... In Grassi et al. (2018) it is argued that wrong premises result in misleading conclusions in Kallio et al. (2018) about the Forest Reference Level (FRL) approach included in the EU LULUCF Regulations. Discussing the arguments presented by Grassi et al., we find that they fail on all major points, and, in addition, reveal a surprising lack of understanding about how FRLs will function in the global ...

Forest management engagement is a broad term with underlying categories and management implications. To better understand these categories, we examine interview data on the engagement of forest landowners from a case study of private forestl ...

Abstract:
... Emergence of more urban forest owners who live far from their forests challenges not only policies but also businesses for how to engage owners to active forest management. This study explores the opportunities of how exchanging and integrating intangible resources in collaborator networks may enable designing new types of forest services. To that end, the study scrutinizes the value network of a ...

Abstract:
... China's forest area and inventory have expanded greatly in the last few decades. In this paper, I explain the reasons and mechanisms for this expansion. Specifically, high demand for timber and environmental services has led to an exponential increase of government spending in forest conservation, afforestation, and reforestation, which are an expansion of extensive margin of planted forests and f ...

At the same time, forest owners' values and objectives are becoming more versatile. There is a need for further understanding of elements affecting forest owners' management behaviour. One aspect of potential impact is h ...

It then examines how certification has been practiced to date, before investigating whether, when, and how it has achieved its intended impacts. Doing so reveals a number of gaps in existing knowledge that stem from narrow conceptualizations of impacts, limitations of avail ...

Abstract:
... As climate policies incentivise forest carbon enhancement, forest ecosystems have been reduced to carbon forestry. As a result, the potential of forests for both the natural world and human beings is being severely compromised. Co-benefits to ecosystems and communities have often been presented as a solution but without much effect. In this paper, we highlight how the current discourse on forest a ...

Abstract:
... In the economic analysis of CBFM, people's discount rates are assumed exogenous and same for all goods. We examined the validity of this assumption by eliciting the discount rates of households for grass, timber, fuelwood and money, and analyzed the impacts of various personal and economic factors on households' discount rates. We found that time preferences are endogenous and good-specific. A goo ...
