This paper defines required specifications for forest management when viewed as the responsible stewardship of a real state asset. This form of management is designated as the patrimonial system. The peninsular silviculture method (PSM) is one of several methods complying with such requirements....

Introduction: Sustainable forest management focuses on securing environmental services while maintaining aboveground biomass (AGB) accumulation. Objective: To evaluate the AGB along of a Chronosequence of temperate forest and to examine the role of forest management for timber production on...

Timber production has been historically the most relevant economic activity in the Mexican forestry sector, although governmental research on this matter started well after the creation of the Instituto Nacional de Investigaciones Forestales(National Institute of Forest Research). Recently, the...

Forest management through the use of the right forestry treatments allows achieving persistence, sustained yield and maximum production of forests. The objective of this work was to assess the increment in stem volume of Pinus durangensis trees, from the analysis of the growth-rings by means of the ...

Forest exploitation in Quintana Roo has been based on the selective extraction of trees, 45without considering the local traditional knowledge in the management of the natural resources of the forest. It analysis how a hybrid forest management model is delineated in practice in the use of timber...

The production of poles in Chile is done by choosing trees specially selected for that purpose, however, the forestry that is massively applied is oriented to the simultaneous production of pruned, sawn and pulpable logs. Silviculture for the specific production of poles in Chile is a technically...

The application of intensive silviculture in sustainable forest management requires efficient quantitative tools to adequately estimate growth patterns of trees and stands. The development of scientifically-based mathematical models represents a vital input for making projections of growth and...

Sustainable forest management is an alternative to conserve biodiversity, maintain forest structure and therefore, carbon storage. The objective of this work was to determine the effect of forest management on the diversity and structure of tree species, and to quantify the carbon content stored in ...

In this work a Bayesian network (RB) was built with the aim to relate those effects that the hydrological silviculture produced in an experimental plot in comparison with other one without any intervention. Water, Carbon and Nitrogen cycles as well as the forest fire risk using a soil moisture...

Community forestry enterprises (CFEs) require regional business planning skills to establish and maintain business associations at large-scale. The aim of this study was to identify the perception of four CFEs on the limitations and opportunities for scaling up in CFEs in Central Mexico. We...
