Abstract:

Humus forms dynamics and characteristics of different forest sites were studied in the area of Smrčina Mt. in the Šumava National Park territory. The study was performed in vital Norway spruce forest, dead Norway spruce forest (bark beetle Ips typographus infestation) and on a clear-cut area (site conditions were comparable for all three plots). The amount of surface organic matter was not affected by forest decline or by clear-cut (95.5 t/ha, 73.1 t/ha and 100.2 t/ha, respectively), pH being comparable (between 2.3 and 3.2 pH KCl).

Abstract:

Abstract A decline in wood production and above-ground net primary production (ANPP) following an early maximum is a widely observed feature of forest development. Why should relatively young, seemingly vigorous even-aged forests undergo this decrease in production? We measured above-ground net primary production and below-ground carbon allocation in an age sequence of lodgepole pine forest in south-central Wyoming spanning 260 yr of forest development. ANPP and total root carbon allocation (TRCA) are examined to determine if there is an increase in TRCA of sufficient magnitude to offset the o

Abstract:

The Yunnan pine (Pinus yunnanensis Franch.) is one of the primary forest vegetation types in Yunnan Province and has prominent economic value and ecological significance. Monitoring changes in Yunnan pine forests contributes to their health management. The normalized differential vegetation index (NDVI) is an essential indicator for studying regional vegetation change. Landsat images were used to analyze the NDVI changes of Yunnan pine forests in rainy and dry seasons as well as the NDVI changes of Yunnan pine forests from 2009 to 2020. The results showed that the NDVI in Yunnan pine forests s

Abstract:

Coastal ecosystems throughout the world are increasingly vulnerable to degradation as a result of accelerating sea-level rise and saltwater intrusion, more frequent and powerful extreme weather events, and anthropogenic impacts. Hardwood swamp forests in the Big Bend region of Florida’s Gulf of Mexico coast (USA) are largely devoid of the latter, but have degraded rapidly since the turn of the 21st Century. Photographs of the forest, collected on the ground since 2009, were used to guide an analysis of a 60 km2 study area using satellite images. The images confirm that the coastal forest area

Abstract:

In Canada, the eastern tolerant hardwood forest is potentially at risk from air pollution. Surveys indicate that, overall, the condition of hardwood forests has either not changed or has marginally improved. However, stands growing on shallow, poorly buffered soils have a higher frequency and severity of decline symptoms, and some of these stands have continued to decline, in contrast to the general trend. In Ontario on the most sensitive sites (<6 mequiv. exchangeable bases/100 g), decline symptoms increased coinciding with a decrease in B horizon pH and base saturation and with an exchang

Abstract:

Fragmentation has long been considered the primary cause for ecosystem degradation and biodiversity loss worldwide. Forest fragmentation affects ecosystem functioning and biodiversity in multiple ways. Here, we ask how forest fragmentation influences aboveground biomass storage (AGB) in sub-tropical forests in China. We established 207 20 m × 20 m plots within 69 forest fragments of varying size. Forest fragmentation process simulation was carried out via repeated quadrat sampling using different sized quadrats in two non-fragmented stands.

SummaryHabitat loss, the primary driver for loss of biodiversity worldwide, is of special concern for species that have a small area of occurrence, such as those restricted to islands. The Forest Thrush Turdus lherminieri is a ‘Vulnerable’ (VU) species endemic to four islands in the Caribbean, and its population has declined dramatically over the past 15 years. Because this decline is poorly understood, we studied its habitat associations on Montserrat.

By 2007, the idea that monetary policy ought to be rules-based was widely accepted and copied around the world. Policymakers believed that inflation and macroeconomic slack were all that mattered. Demographic and structural factors were underappreciated. The wrong conclusions are now being drawn: rules should not be abandoned, but monetary policy can be improved.

As trees age, they become ecologically richer and more full of life. The process of a tree, wood or forest becoming ‘ancient’, however defined, involves a vast and subtle web of relations – among the trees themselves, with other organisms, with the wider landscape and with human beings. A single tree can provide a vast array of habitats which are an integral part of the complex co-evolutionary relationships evolved over its lifetime and later during its sometimes long afterlife. From ancient times until today, trees and woods have inspired artists, writers and scientists; they have shaped cult

More than 300 species of Australian native animals — mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians — use tree hollows, but there has never been a complete inventory of them. Many of these species are threatened, or are in decline, because of land-use practices such as grazing, timber production and firewood collection. All forest management agencies in Australia attempt to reduce the impact of logging on hollow-dependent fauna, but the nature of our eucalypt forests presents a considerable challenge. In some cases, tree hollows suitable for vertebrate fauna may take up to 250 years to develop,

Abstract:

Due to the long-term demographic depopulation of settlements, depopulation clusters are observed in Serbia after the 2022 census - areas with 20 or fewer inhabitants or without inhabitants. The areas of depopulated settlements are growing territorially and continue to increase from south towards the North of the country. While the built-up area on the left is expanding around the large cities and around the main roads in Serbia, geographically and functionally isolated villages and smaller towns are being covered by natural vegetation. Even in urban areas, there is a polarisation of highly des

Abstract With an ever-changing climate, the decline in the bee population is forcing humans to find supplemental ways to pollinate. A mechanical substitute for a bee needs to be as efficient or better than bee pollination since it will require one person to do the work of many bees. Pollinating one flower at a time would be too time consuming to be effective, so a drone mounted pollen distribution device is the best direction to go to solve this problem. This is a game changing design to prevent a lack of food-producing plant growth as the bee population decreases over time. The design is a lo

Abstract:

Abstract Handil is an oil field located in the Mahakam swamp area. Approximately 80% of its wells are operated with gas lift. Well surveillance primarily relies on pressure, temperature, and gas injection measurements, which are locally updated through daily operator visits. In some wells, an additional single-phase orifice meter is installed on the flow line to estimate gas rates, but it doesn’t provide any information on liquid rates. Mobile testing units, mounted on floating barges, conduct well tests on a campaign basis every 3 to 6 months. However, daily liquid production monitoring becom

Abstract:

Abstract Efficient utilization of unconventional resources hinges on the strategic deployment of wells across multiple pads on a large scale. However, the unique geomorphological constraints, along with considerations for the forest reserves and water source reserves in the Loess Plateau, pose limitations on the well pattern for Chang 7 shale oil in the Ordos Basin. To enhance the utilization of pad reserves, an innovative approach suggests the adoption of a fan-shaped well pattern. Based on the study area, a high-precision 3D geological and geomechanical model was meticulously developed. This

The Mississippi National River and Recreation area (MISS), situated along a 116 km stretch of the Mississippi River through the Minneapolis and St. Paul urban corridor, encompasses ~21,800 ha of public and private land. In 2022, the Great Lakes Inventory and Monitoring Network (GLKN) resampled permanent forest monitoring sites in the park, marking the second assessment of these sites, which were established and initially sampled in 2011. The goal of this long-term monitoring project is to provides managers with routine updates on which to base management decisions; these data can also be used

Abstract:

It is clear that selective logging has a significant impact on the Greater Glider. Whereas the Protection Measures proposed by the Department of Agriculture and Fisheries (DAF) may produce a small decrease in the impact, DAF is proposing to continue significantly impacting this endangered species. The application of a policy to balance jobs and the environment is inappropriate for an endangered species. The overall approach of the risk assessment and DAF’s response does not appear to take account of the fact that the Greater Glider is already endangered and in serious decline. The risk assessm

Abstract:

Cocoa production has a long history in Ghana, originating in the late nineteenth century. Since then, cocoa production has seen significant changes. Originally, cocoa was cultivated in newly cleared forests in which many forest trees were preserved as shade trees. Cocoa is ideally suited to these conditions and produces high yields with minimum investment in labour and inputs. However, over time, as the forest conditions change, the cost of cultivating cocoa has increased and yields have declined. As long as new forest frontiers exist, farmers have continued to move into these areas, which hav

Abstract:

The Jockey Hollow section and the New Jersey Brigade Area of Morristown National Historical Park (MORR) are predominantly comprised of upland oak-hickory forests that have regrown over the past 200 years from previous land uses. The forest is being damaged by two major stressors, a large population of white-tailed deer and an abundance of non-native, invasive shrubs and herbaceous species. This study explores changes to the forest over 26 years and suggests management techniques to avoid future degradation.

In 2011, the Northern Colorado Plateau Network (NCPN) began long-term monitoring of vegetation and soils in upland communities at Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park (BLCA) and Curecanti National Recreation Area (CURE). Managers wanted to understand conditions in sagebrush shrublands, aspen forests, pinyon-juniper woodlands, and Gambel oak shrublands. These four vegetation types are associated with a range of management concerns. These include suitable habitat conditions for the threatened Gunnison sage-grouse, planning for livestock grazing management, responses to disturbances (e.g.,

The Southeast Coast Network (SECN) conducts long-term terrestrial vegetation monitoring as part of the nationwide Inventory and Monitoring Program of the National Park Service (NPS). The vegetation community vital sign is one of the primary-tier resources identified by SECN park managers, and it is currently conducted at 15 network parks (DeVivo et al. 2008). Monitoring plants and their associated communities over time allows for targeted understanding of ecosystems within the SECN geography, which provides managers information about the degree of change within their parks’ natural vegetation.
