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...

The aim of the study was to analyse the costs of forestry works, which were contracted out to private forestry companies by the organizational units of the State Forests in years 2006-2012. We studied the costs of seed harvesting, sowing, seedling production, forest regeneration and reforestation,...

An experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of different seed treatment and potting media on germination percentage and associate parameters in Stereospermum suaveolens, a threatened dashmool species during May, 2019 at Silviculture Nursery of Tropical Forest Research Institute, Jabalpur...

The objective of this research was to determine of silviculture techniques of white jabon (Neolamarckia cadamba) that are applied by farmers in Konawe. This study was conducted at four location those were Sub District of Unaaha-District of Unaaha, Wawoone Village, Tetemotaha Village, and Langgonawe ...

Particularly after disturbance events, the early successional colonist Betula pendula Roth is experiencing renewed silvicultural interest with respect to the natural regeneration of large disturbed forest areas. In a case study, we therefore studied the seed dispersal of B. pendula from two...

Araucaria angustifolia characterizes mixed Ombrophilous Forests. This Paraná pine tree has been of great economic, cultural and social importance for southern Brazil. Its cutting is restricted, as it is threatened with extinction and the use of its seed has been encouraged. This study highlights...

Life cycle assessment is a valuable tool for evaluating the environmental performance of different products and services. According to the European Commission, forests are indispensable and the most effective strategy for climate change mitigation, although raw wood products (roundwood, pulpwood...

The species Pinus taeda is largely used in intensive silviculture worldwide. This species has propagation through seeds, which requires determining seeds viability for their commercialization. The germination test recommended for this species usually requires up to 63 days to provide results on the ...

The Mediterranean forest region has been exposed to anthropogenic impacts for centuries, and the constant biotic and abiotic factors, together with increasing climate change, have hindered the proper management of forest ecosystems. This study presents the results of multiyear, systematic, specific ...
