The destruction caused by forest fires generates social impacts, environmental and extremely important economic impacts the of a wide range infrastructures essential goods. Therefore, as it is impossible to remove all from wildland–urban interface, design protection systems essential. main objective this work development low-cost system, with rigid panels, requiring simple installation, in orde...

As the central part of terrestrial ecosystems, forests have an irreplaceable role in regulating climate, prompting various efforts to protect them. Logging regulation is most commonly used forest conservation strategy. Although logging permit scheme was written into Forest Law China, its effect on carbon sequestration has rarely been subject careful empirical scrutiny. In this paper, we develop...

This paper presents some issues related to designing forest landscape located close to the areas of watercourses and water reservoirs. Surface waters, beside forests and diverse terrain relief, constitute the main element deciding about tourist and recreation attractiveness of every such area. Some surveys on the evaluation of forest recreational potential prove that the forest attractiveness i...

Forest degradation in protected areas has been monitored around the world with remote sensing data, but degradation processes undetectable by widely used satellite sensors have been largely overlooked. Increased human pressures and socioeconomic development make forest protection more challenging, particularly for forest ecosystems that lie across national borders because of the differences in ...

We modeled changes in area of five habitats, tidal-freshwater forest, salt marsh, maritime shrub-scrub (shrub), maritime broadleaf forest (oak) and maritime narrowleaf (pine) forest, in coastal Georgia, USA, to evaluate how simultaneous habitat loss due to predicted changes in sea level rise (SLR) and urban development will affect priority bird species of the south Atlantic coastal plain by 210...
