Abstract:

Forests contribute significantly to the livelihoods of forest adjacent communities. Under the Kenya's new Forest Act (2005), community participation in forest conservation is provided for through formation of Community Forest Associations (CFAs). This study focused on Ontukigo and Ngare Ndare CFAs involved in participatory management of Ontulili and Ngare Ndare forests in North Central Kenya. It aimed at identifying household factors associated with decision to participate in PFM and the differences between CFA and non-CFA members in their participation in forest conservation activities.

Abstract:

The Forest Sector is Key to Kenya’s social and economic well-being since most of the financial activities rely on environmental-based resources for their sustenance. The Forest Conservation and Management Act, of 2016, provides for the conservation and management of public, community, and private forests. This has brought a paradigm shift in forest management from central command to involving various stakeholders. Adequate stakeholders' engagement in the direction of forest resources, results in minimal conflicts. Local involvement promotes a sense of ownership to the Forest Adjacent Communiti

Forest resources are faced with challenges that range from mismanagement, overutilization, conflicts and competing claims. Consequently, this has given rise to legislation and policy to protect forests. However, many governments in developing countries have difficulties in implementing sustainable forest management (SFM). One of the strategies advocated to foster SFM is participatory forest management (PFM). The PFM approach has been practised formally in Kenya since 2005 when the Forests Act of 2005 came into force.

The introduction of Participatory Forestry Management (PFM) in Kenya from 1997 has led to the formation of community-based organizations which have come to be referred to as Community Forest Associations (CFAs). Most of the CFAs are preparing to enter into forest management agreements with the Kenya Forest Service (KFS). This will confer management roles to the community with the KFS retaining the forest resource ownership right and the right to withdraw the agreement in total or part. The CFAs are formed by individual members who join by paying a prescribed membership fee. Both qualitative an

Abstract:

Phytosociological study of Populus euphratica community in the Trans Himalayas of Ladakh was conducted. The vegetation was a high altitude riverain forest with low species diversity (H´=0.8569) and high concentration of dominance (Cd=0.5162). In the upper layer P. euphratica dominated the association with IVI value of 219.26 while in the middle layer Berberis ulicina was the dominant species (IVI=57.33). A change in nomenclature of the forest under type 13/1S2 in the Forest Types of India is suggested in light of the present observations.

Abstract:

Ecological patterns of species distribution can reveal essential information on the spatial and functional relationship between species or species and their environment. Various approaches can be used to assess species associations, and our study aimed to compare three methods at different scales: the co-occurrence indices for binary presence–absence data, principal component analysis (PCA) on species abundance and point process analysis. Our goal was to gain a deeper understanding of the species’ co-occurrence patterns and notice if the three methods capture roughly the same spatial distribut

Abstract:

Community involvement is central in management and conservation of forests. Adjacent communities depend on these forests for livelihood and cultural values. Dryland forests are among the vital ecosystems in the environment and they face degradation due to undervaluation by surrounding communities even though they supply a range of important resources. This study aimed at determining sustainable approaches for community involvement in management and conservation of Kijege forest and its biodiversity. Specifically, the study determined the importance and values of Kijege forest to community, the

Abstract:

The significance of edaphic factors in describing forest vegetation patterns is becoming more well acknowledged, with significant implications for the description of biogeographical regions and biome classification, as well as abundance and growth patterns at regional levels. The current study examines the vegetation association in the Zabarwan mountain range of the Western Himalayas and its association with edaphic factors. To collect data on forest types, we employed a systematic random sampling strategy in 60 plots (0.1 ha) across five forest types. We investigated data using ordination and

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into participatory forest management (PFM) is emerging as a promising strategy for promoting sustainable forest management in developing countries. Using a case study approach from Kenya involving 85 respondents from the Nairobi City Park Community Forest Association, this study explored the potential for AI implementation in PFM to improve community roles in data acquisition and management. The study results show that the current data management system for executing community roles in PFM is inefficient, time-consuming, and susceptible to errors

Forest ecosystems deliver ecosystem services (ESs) that are essential for the well-being of local communities. These services necessitate a clear understanding of their perception among community members in order to facilitate informed and sustainable forest management decisions. This study aimed to explore the relationship between forest ESs and local communities by identifying community preferences for key ESs and examining how socio-economic factors influence this perception.

Abstract:

Urban forests consist of various environments from intensely managed spaces to conservation areas and are often reservoirs of a diverse range of invasive pathogens due to their introduction through the nursery trade. Pathogens are likely to persist because the urban forest contains a mixture of native and exotic plant species, and the environmental conditions are often less than ideal for the trees. To test the impact of different land management approaches on the Phytophthora community, 236 discrete soil and root samples were collected from declining trees in 91 parks and nature reserves in J

The association of beech and fir was researched on Mt. Suvobor, on serpentinite bedrock. In the past, the beech and fir forest on Suvobor was not studied, it was just referred to, so the objective of this paper was to study the floristic characteristics of this forest, which will enable its ecological-vegetational differentiation and widen the knowledge on beech and fir associations on serpentinites. The studied plant community is characterised by poor floristic composition and by the absolute domination of fir in the tree layer. In the life form spectrum, the dominant plants are phanerophytes

Abstract:

A local arborists' association can provide additional benefits to arborists also belonging to national and state organizations, especially in large states. It also benefits the general public in its community, and ultimately the trees in the community's urban forest, by increasing awareness of the value of trees and of currently accepted arboricultural techniques. For such an organization to achieve its goals, it is necessary to create a set of guidelines for members and to have methods for recruiting members, raising funds, and informing the general public.
