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...

Following a case study approach, this paper explains how scientific forest management plans were developed and implemented in community forests of a mid-hill district in Nepal. Field observations were carried over a period of two years (December 2014 to December 2016) in two community forests. User ...

The so-called "DACH Initiative" pursues the goal of enhancing the comparability between the national data sets of the forestry enterprise networks of Germany, Austria and Switzerland and drawing conclusions for politics, science and practice. Initial comparisons of country indicators show that the...

We present the results of a simulation experiment that evaluated three scenarios of forest management in the context of climate change mitigation. Two scenarios refer to climate change adaptation measures. The third scenario was a business-as-usual scenario representing the continuation of current ...

Traditional coppice management system is one of the most debated topics in the Mediterranean area, as it is a forest management system that accounts for over 23 million hectares. Coppicing is considered the oldest form of sustainable forest management. Its past and current widespread popularity is...

Objective: In view of the complex and diverse types of forest management operations, this paper aims at solving the problems of poor interactivity, lack of natural and realistic interactive experience, and the difficulties to deal with frequent operations, and developing a set of interactive...

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....

Tree growth and mortality are two central processes in mixed and structurally complex moist tropical forests, yet accurate estimates of the variables needed to model them remain sparse and scattered. It is thus still difficult to predict forest evolution at a local scale and build reliable...

Despite increased recognition of the value provided by forests, the tropical forest potential continued to be seriously degraded, especially by overexploitation. In the field of harvesting, achieving sustainable forest management requires environmentally responsible logging, hence the growing...

The present work applied a data envelopment analysis (DEA) model to assess changes in the technical efficiency of timber production at a period of transition in forest management priorities. The study material consisted of data on timber sold by Polish State Forests (PSF) and on its forest...
