Study on Forest Landscape Management Taking Dimensional Landscape Theory into Consideration

Specialty Forest Products in the Forest: Integrating Special Products Into Ecosystem and Landscape Management

The increasing demand for an increasing array of special forest products is forcing forest landowners and managers to address special products within ongoing management and silvicultural activities. Strategies can vary from single species management in agricultural or near agricultural operations to complex forest management strategies which move special products across an ownership or landscap...

Riverine landscapes: taking landscape ecology into the water

1. Landscape ecology deals with the influence of spatial pattern on ecological processes. It considers the ecological consequences of where things are located in space, where they are relative to other things, and how these relationships and their consequences are contingent on the characteristics of the surrounding landscape mosaic at multiple scales in time and space. Traditionally, landscape...

What Is Forest Landscape Restoration?

The extent and distribution of global forests is a matter of considerable concern. The overall rate of deforestation remains high although recent reports suggest it is fi nally beginning to decline (FAO 2011 ) . But this hides regional differences. In temperate regions net forest cover is increasing because of afforestation and natural expansion of forests. By contrast, net forest cover in most...

A Landscape Design Process Based on Alexandrian Theory (An Iranian Academic Study)

LANDIS and forest landscape models

This paper provides contextual documentation of the LANDIS model development to provide a framework for the other papers in this special issue. The LANDIS model of forest landscape disturbance and succession was developed since the early 1990s as a research and management tool that optimizes the possible landscape extent (100 s ha to 1000 s km2), while providing mechanistic detail adequate for ...
