Natural disturbances are paramount in the development of ecosystems but may jeopardise the provision of forest ecosystem services. Climate change exacerbates this threat and favours interactions between disturbances. Our objective was thus to capture this dimension of multiple disturbances in ...

In this paper, we examine the implications of managing for sustained yield in a world characterized by growing risk and uncertainty. We review the history of sustained yield (SY) forestry in North America, with an emphasis on economic benefits and the persistence of the SY paradigm today, despite a ...

A new ITTO report analyzes the supply of and demand for tropical timber to 2050 and its contributions to a sustainable economy. To ensure a full picture of future timber supply and demand, the study compares the situation in the tropical timber producer regions with other regions, especially China, ...

Previous studies indicate that the shadow economy is truly an environmental foe, with positive linkages with energy intensity, air pollution, and emissions. This study extends the literature by considering the environmental influence of the shadow economy on one of the most important components of...

Natural regeneration of secondary forests can be an important source of recovery of ecosystem services (ES) critical for humanity, especially for climate change mitigation and adaptation goals. However, natural regeneration entails synergies and trade-offs across ESs and across stakeholders. To...

This study explored the long-run association among greenhouse gases (GHGs), financial development, forest area, improved sanitation, renewable energy, urbanization, and trade in 24 lower middle-income countries from Asia, Europe, Africa, and America (South and North) by using panel data from 1990...

In this paper a simple age-structured model is constructed to analyze how a wildlife population creating hunting value, but also damage costs, is influenced by predation. The model may exemplify a moose population causing forest browsing damage and exposed for predation by wolf or other big...

With steadily rising affluence levels within a jurisdiction and across the globe, forests are expected to play an increasing role in satisfying human needs for ecosystem services as well as recreational, cultural and spiritual demands. Companies that manage forests to provide goods and services are ...

The literature on nonmarket valuation includes many examples of stated and revealed preference comparisons. However, comparisons within stated preference methods are sparse. Specifically, the literature provides few examples of pairing both a discrete choice experiment (CE) and a contingent...

Cross-sector collaboration has gained importance as a way for forest sector companies to increase innovation via novel partnerships and to identify and develop new business opportunities within the bioeconomy. Despite this, limited empirical research describes why and how forest and other sector...
