Ecological Forestry in the Southeast: Understanding the Ecology of Fuels

Fire is a dominant disturbance within many forested ecosystems worldwide. Understanding the complex feedbacks among vegetation as a fuel for fire, the effects of fuels on fire behavior, and the impact of fire behavior on future vegetation are critical for sustaining biodiversity in fire-dependent forests. Nonetheless, understanding in fire ecology has been limited in part by the difficulties in...

Frame Representation of Ecological Models in Forestry Planning

How to build an image interpretation expert system and other relevant expert systems within a knowledge-based pictorial information system is an ad hoc theme in geographical information system(GIS) field. It plays an important role in building a synthetic information system and in enhancing the GIS system performance. In this article, we present a forestry regional resource planning sub-system,...

Contested Landscapes: social-ecological interactions between forestry and reindeer husbandry

Socio-ecological implications of modifying rotation lengths in forestry

The rotation length is a key component of even-aged forest management systems. Using Fennoscandian forestry as a case, we review the socio-ecological implications of modifying rotation lengths relative to current practice by evaluating effects on a range of ecosystem services and on biodiversity conservation. The effects of shortening rotations on provisioning services are expected to be mostly...

Investigation of Ecological Models of Neyzar Qom’s Watershed Area in terms of Agricultural, Grassland and Forestry

Study, planning and implementing protection operation lead to correct exploitation of renewable energy resources and sustainable development. From these, vital sources are water and soil. The aim of this study is to investigate the agricultural and forestry aspects of ecological model of Neyzar Qom’s watershed in 2012. Neyzar watershed area is about 12821.38 hectare. Therefore, in this study, t...
