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, ...

Intensive silviculture is practiced in many parts of the world but is rare in the public forests of western Canada. Here, we make the argument that intensive silviculture could be justified in Alberta but has not been implemented due to philosophies and policy decisions by foresters from...

Mountain-Forest ecosystems provide essential services within the economic system of the region and perhaps the country. These natural resources, which have many apparent or not apparent functions, are facing economic development pressures in recent years. With quality and rational forest management...

Using silviculture treatments as a tool to create habitat for wildlife is a common practice in wildlife conservation and natural resource management. Although diverse forest age structures and composition benefit many wildlife species, relatively little is known about bat response to young forest...

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...

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...

The aim of the study was (i) to analyze the selected costs of silviculture and forest protection against game and (ii) to determine the relationship between the presence of deer in forest ecosystems and the value of selected costs in the forest districts of the Regional Directorate of the State...

Shorea leprosula is one of the tree species within Dipterocarpaceae family which is a major source for timber production. The species has been planted massively in Gunung Dahu Research Forest (GDRF) in Leuwiliang- Bogor. Gunung Dahu Research Forest is a man-made dipterocarp forest which has varying ...

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 ...

This paper presents a system of uneven-aged forest management consistent with the principles of close-to-nature silviculture with treatments adopted to the requirements of individual tree stands, depending on their development phase, growing stock volume, DBH distribution and regeneration status....
