In recent history, both a growing awareness of how scientific and societal uncertainty impacts management decisions and of the intrinsic value of nature have suggested new approaches to forest management, with a growing debate in forest science over the need for a paradigmatic shift from the...

Sandalwood is a semi-rot parasite, medium size multipurpose tree valued for its heartwood and oil content. As result of liberation of Government policy on sandalwood cultivation in farm lands, large scale commercial plantations are being established in both in its traditional and non-traditional...

Under future climate regimes, the risk of typhoons accompanied by heavy rains is expected to increase. Although the risk of disturbance to forest stands by strong winds has long been of interest, we have little knowledge of how the process is mediated by storms and precipitation. Using machine...

Recently, the attention of the global community is increasing to the phenomenon of climate change. Climate change could influence the imbalance of the forest ecosystem. Likely floods, forest fires, pests, and disease outbreaks are the important factors that can decrease forest productivity as a...

Tree species, e.g., shallow vs. deep rooting tree species, have a distinct impact on hydrological properties and pore size distribution of soils. In our study, we determined the soil hydrologic properties and pore size distribution at three forest stands and one pasture as reference on soils with...

The success of walnut (Juglans sp.) planted forests for timber production have been very variable and genetic material is considered as one of the main drivers (together with site selection and forest management) for the success or failure of the plantations, as the performance of the trees from...

A more complete involvement and effective use of non-timber forest resources is one of the most pressing problems in the development of the forest complex of the Russian Federation within the framework of ensuring multi-purpose, rational and sustainable forest management. The creation of forest...

Changes for fast-growing forest management have an immediate effect on carbon stocks and the regional carbon sequestration rate, by incorporating carbon dioxide into biomass plant, therefore it is essential to know their condition and response to management, for proper management. The aim of this...

The purpose of this study is to analyze existing silvicultural experience related to the sycamore using literary data in order to optimize future work with the species. The discussion looks into matters related to: ecological requirements, seed propagation, vegetative propagation via rooting of...

A study was conducted on three species (Khaya senegalensis, Corymbia citriodora and Casuarina equisetifolia) planted in desert lands of Egypt and irrigated with basic treated municipal wastewater. Every single tree is permanently drip irrigated and at the same time fertilised by the nutrient-rich...
