In subtropical eastern Australia, the declining availability of traditional, large hardwood native forest logs has motivated hardwood sawmills to explore potentially utilising small logs in the manufacture of veneer-based engineered wood products (EWPs), such as laminated veneer lumber (LVL). An...

In subtropical eastern Australia, hardwood sawmills are exploring opportunities to adapt to declining availability of traditional, large hardwood native forest logs through the manufacture of veneer and laminated veneer lumber (LVL) from comparatively abundant small, native forest logs. This paper...

Most of Australia's native forest vegetation is located on private land, and conservation success often depends on landholders' participation in bush management programs. To understand landholders' preferences for these programs' attributes, we surveyed 251 landholders within historical...

Around two-thirds of the global population will live in cities by 2050 requiring large urban infrastructure development. Decision-makers and planners usually rely on standard economic accounting methods for urban planning and investments on infrastructure assets. However, standard methods fail to...

In recent years, the concept of sustainable forest management has evolved into a number of Criteria and Indicators schemes that are designed to guide the practice of sustainable forestry. One such mechanism is the Montréal Process Criteria and Indicators, which identifies seven criteria and 54...

This paper reviews the origins and development of Australia's regional forest agreements as they approach their 20-year anniversaries, and considers the contributions made by these agreements. Regional forest agreements are 20-year federal-state agreements that underpin the conservation and...

The Green Triangle (GT) region of southern Australia is one of only two jurisdictions globally to licence plantation forestry's groundwater use. In response to declines in groundwater resources caused by historical plantation expansion, reductions in forest water allocations (~50%) are likely for...

Land use, land use change and forestry (LULUCF) are an important part of the national greenhouse gas inventories for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Due to different forest management and inventory capabilities, there are various methods for forestry carbon accounting of...

The study used time studies and cost analysis to assess potential economic benefits from site preparation cost reductions resulting from producing coarse woody harvesting residue (CWHR) for bioenergy. In contrast, previous studies have predominantly used anecdotal estimates of site preparation...

Early and ongoing monitoring of post-fire recovery dynamics is critical for understanding the ecological resilience of forests. The unprecedented scale of Australia's Black Summer of 2019-2020 poses a significant challenge for post-fire recovery monitoring. Remote sensing is the only practical way...
