Plants associated with traditional forms of coppice management are affected by changes in, or cessation of, stand management which produce differences in structure, usually in the direction of high forest. The habitat structure, ground flora richness, and composition of an ancient woodland in...

The consequences of silviculture and management on the genetic variation and structure of long-impacted populations of forest tree are reviewed assessed and discussed, using Mediterranean forests as a working paradigm. The review focuses on silviculture and management systems, regeneration schemes, ...

The aim of the work is to present the 200-year-old output of 'Sylwan' journal in the field of silviculture, with particular emphasis on the trends in the development of this discipline in forest science and practice. As a result of the query, limited to the content analysis of only those articles...

Fire-sustained open oak and pine forests were once widespread across eastern North America, but are now comparatively scarce. To regain the goods and services of these open forests, managers are increasingly looking to restore them with the silvicultural systems and tools best suited to meet their...

We studied changes in the understory vegetation in two Danish forests (212 permanent plots in a 330 ha area) over a period of 23 years from 1993 to 2016. Changes were analyzed in relation to a shift in forest management towards close-to-nature silviculture, local natural disturbance (caused by...

Silviculture trial plots were established in Kavre and Lamjung districts by the EnLiFT Project (Enhancing livelihoods and food security through improved agroforestry and community forestry in Nepal) to examine stand response to selected silviculture systems - uniform shelterwood, selection system,...

Timber forest products are the main source of wood in meeting community needs such as house construction and furniture. However, in the regulation of timber forest products, the use of wood has not been considered. This has an impact on the value of wood, the value of the forest, and the...

Close-to-nature silviculture is emphasizing mixed-species, multi-layered stands. Dynamic models are appropriate tools for estimating their future development. Specifically, the family of gap models, which originate from ecology, renders such analyses possible. We use the example of the ForClim...

Global trends in the demand for forest products, decreasing total area of actively managed forests, and pressures to increase profit margins suggest that forest management intensity will continue to increase in the future. These trends have typically led to shorter rotation lengths and increased...

Sustainable forest management is the key to biodiversity conservation, flow of resources and climate change mitigation. We assessed the impact of various forest management regimes (FMRs): legal felling series [(reserve forest (RF), demarcated protected forest (DPF), un-demarcated protected forest...
