Abstract:
... Istanbul is a fast-growing city with a more than 15 million population and limited possibilities of recreational opportunities within its perimeter. The Belgrad Forest, one of the largest forests in Istanbul, currently have only 3.18% of the area designated for recreation. The aim of this research is to assess and map of recreation area (RA) suitabilities in Belgrad Forest stands to enhance forest ...

Abstract:
... Managing extraction of forest resources is crucial for the stability of local eco-systems. The excessive extraction of forests by local communities has contributed to their rapid decline. Punishment has been suggested as a solution to this problem. However, evidence from common pool resource (CPR) experiments indicates that peer punishment generates high levels of anti-social punishment and retali ...

Abstract:
... Facing ever more pressing global environmental problems, applied sciences like forest research are expected to benefit society beyond the mere production of new knowledge. However, newly gained scientific knowledge is often not brought into practical application. While scholarly conceptualizations on how to design the science-society interface accordingly have been widely discussed in academia, li ...

Abstract:
... An area-based approach (ABA) is the most common method used to predict forest attributes with airborne laser scanning (ALS) data. Individual-tree detection (ITD) offers an alternative to ABA; however, few studies have examined the selection of these two alternatives for the prediction of diameter distributions. We predicted diameter distributions by applying ABA and ITD in coniferous-dominated bor ...

Abstract:
... National forest inventories (NFIs) are designed to provide accurate information on forest resources at the national and regional levels, but there is also a demand for such information at smaller spatial scales. Auxiliary data such as satellite imagery have been used to facilitate small-area estimation. The commonly used method, k-nearest neighbour (k-NN), provides a model-based estimator for smal ...

Abstract:
... The subtropical forest transition zone in southern China is a typical transition zone with high coverage and diverse vegetation. Projected climate change will affect physiological processes of trees, which would consequently alter the forest aboveground biomass (AGB) and composition at broad spatial scales. However, spatially heterogeneous responses may also be shaped by climate change, succession ...

The data consist of randomly selected print media articles (n = 164) on ...

Through elements of trust, incentives, coercion, and avoidance forest bureaucrats convince forest user groups of the need to implement so-called scientific management and planning principles to obtain predictable harvests. In reality, however, these principles replicate c ...

Abstract:
... The Faustmann formulation (or FF) has been widely adopted in determining the optimal rotation and the concomitant net present worth of timber production. Nonetheless, the FF is not a profit function, and there has not established such a function, along with its dual cost and production functions, in virtually all the forest economics texts. Without such a set of functions, however, a large part of ...
