Effects of future crop tree flagging and skid trail planning on conventional diameter-limit logging in a Bolivian tropical forest
Sustainable natural forest management initiatives in the lowland tropical forests of Bolivia require that cost-effective measures be identified to help maintain timber stand quality and reduce damage to advance regeneration during logging operations. This study considered the potential costs and benefits of including two ‘best’ management practices the pre harvest flagging of future crop trees ...
متن کاملNon-timber Plant Resources· in Tropical Moist Forest: An Ecological Primer
The Biodiversity Support Program (BSP) was established in 1988 with funding from the Research and Development Bureau of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), under cooperative agreement number DHR-5554-A-00-8044-00. BSP is implemented by a consortium of World Wildlife Fund, The Nature Conservancy, and the World Resources Institute. The central purpose of the program is to suppo...
متن کاملFinancial Indicators of Reduced Impact Logging Performance in Brazil: Case Study Comparisons
Indicators of financial performance are compared for three case studies in the Brazilian Amazon. Each case study presents parameters obtained from monitoring initial harvest entries into primary forests for reduced impact logging (RIL) and conventional logging (CL) operations. Differences in cost definitions and data collection protocols complicate the analysis, and suggest that caution is nece...
متن کاملManaging Multi-Species Forests To Minimize The Risk of Biodiversity Loss
The design and implementation of forest management systems affects the risk of biodiversity loss. Using a well-known competition-colonization metapopulation model of multiple competing species along with optimal control theory, we investigate both analytically and numerically the design of forest management system in an implicitly spatial context. We focus on the two major approaches to forest ...
متن کاملA cross-continental comparison of plant and beetle responses to retention of forest patches during timber harvest.
Timber harvest can adversely affect forest biota. Recent research and application suggest that retention of mature forest elements (retention forestry), including unharvested patches (or aggregates) within larger harvested units, can benefit biodiversity compared to clearcutting. However, it is unclear whether these benefits can be generalized among the diverse taxa and biomes in which retentio...
