Understanding the relationship of stand structural complexity and forest management is relevant to create desired stand structures by adapting management strategies under changing disturbance scenarios and climatic conditions. To overcome difficulties in differentiating between strict categories of ...

This paper is aimed to determine the stakeholders' perception against a new forest management policy for stumpage sales in the Western Black Sea Region of Turkey. Ownership of country's forests (99.9%) belongs to the government and timber production and sales have been managed by The General...

Forest management science is the leading discipline of forestry, which plays an important role in the construction of forestry in China. It is a discipline about the basic theory, techniques and arts of how to organize silvicultural and management practices. As a discipline, forest management was...

Changing climates are altering the structural and functional components of forest ecosystems at an unprecedented rate. Simultaneously, we are seeing a diversification of public expectations on the broader sustainable use of forest resources beyond timber production. As a result, the science and art ...

With the development history and conception of the silvicultural system (SS), the system implemented in Germany in the early 19^th century was first introduced. The first level was product targets containing two categories, the second level was forest forms comprising five sub-categories, and the...

There has been an increase in loblolly pine production driven by forest management practices like intensive silviculture and improved genetics. Some reported yield gains have been modeled using meta-regression mixed effects models accounting for the potential contribution of the four factors...

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...

Masson pine (Pinus massoniana) is the main timber species for afforestation in southern China, which plays an important role in meeting the demand for domestic timber and maintaining ecological security. As China enters a new era of ecological civilization, the forest utilization models have...

Natural regeneration in forest management, which relies on artificial planting, is considered a desirable alternative to reforestation. However, there are large uncertainties regarding the natural regeneration processes, such as seed production, seed dispersal, and seedling establishment. Among...

Selection silviculture aims to create and maintain uneven-aged forests with a diameter at breast height (DBH) structure that is balanced at small spatial scales such that the stem number in each DBH class is high enough to replace the harvested and outgrowing trees over time by ingrowth from the...
