The monitoring of the spatial and temporal dynamics of vegetation productivity is important in the context of carbon sequestration by terrestrial ecosystems from the atmosphere. The accessibility of the full archive of medium-resolution earth observation data for multiple decades dramatically...

Context: Presently, many high-elevation forests in the Alps are managed in order to ensure the provision of ecosystem services with emphasis on the minimization of natural hazards. Aims: We studied the possible economic performance of a high-elevation protection forest from an owner's perspective....

In order to improve people's awareness for the value of forest ecosystem services of protecting the ecosystem, and provide the basis for forestry management. The study has evaluated regulation service value of forest ecosystem services by using approaches such as shadow engineering method and...

In British Columbia, the primary forest sector is a leading contributor to the provincial economy, so understanding the determinants of log supply in BC is important for policy. In their analysis, Sun et al. 2015 estimated log supply elasticities using panel data across eight forest districts in...

The most recent forest-type map of the Korean Peninsula was produced in 1910. That of South Korea alone was produced since 1972; however, the forest type information of North Korea, which is an inaccessible region, is not known due to the separation after the Korean War. In this study, we developed ...

The present study aims to develop a methodology for forest economic assessment using forest protection strips as an example. Environmental (soil composition) and biological factors (tree species) effecting the wood quality in the south European part of Russia are taken into account. The studies...

Achieving the carbon neutral targets before year 2060 is one of the important commitments for mitigating global climate change by Chinese government. However, the manner in which one would maximize the carbon sequestration of the planted forests is still unclear. Estimating accurately the carbon...

Remote sensing using unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-borne sensors is currently a highly interesting approach for the estimation of forest characteristics. 3D remote sensing data from airborne laser scanning or digital stereo photogrammetry enable highly accurate estimation of forest variables...

Some aspects of the management of a forest reserve in Romania are briefly considered, with reference to experimental procedures, natural regeneration, water management, experimental planting with various exotic species, and economic aspects of hunting and salmon farming. The soil of nursery areas...

Background and Objectives: All imported softwoods are called "Russian wood", in Iran. Despite the existence of domestic Persian terms for naming each individual conifer genius, they are known and traded by Russian names like "Sasna", "Yulka", and "Leastvinitsa" in the Iranian market. Although,...
