Abstract:
Forest degradation and deforestation are serious threats to resource conservation, subsistence livelihoods and rural income diversification. Woodlot farming on farms has been established as a potential option to increase forest resources from agricultural landscapes and remove human pressure from forests. The study investigated the land-use and landholding pattern, woodlots types and species preference and extent of spatial distribution, land allocation and growing stock of woodlots in the Ganderbal district of Kashmir. Multistage random sampling technique was employed to select 349 farm woodl

Abstract:
AbstractFarms and forests dominate the rural landscape of the northern New England states of Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont, among the most heavily forested states in the US. However, we know little about the stewardship of farm woodlots and their contributions to the whole farm system, despite region-wide increases in farm forest acreage. Using a mail survey, this study found that almost half of respondents had a written management plan for their forestland, most of which had been written by a forester, and approximately three-quarters took an active role in the management of their woodlots

Abstract:
<p>To address the problem of high rural poverty and food insecurity, government and international donors have funded on-farm plantation forestry projects as one of the tools for improving the welfare of rural communities. In the wake of climate change, on-farm plantation forestry has evolved to include carbon forestry, with the dual purpose of sequestering carbon and improving rural livelihoods. However, there is a dearth of empirical evidence regarding whether and under what conditions on-farm plantation forestry can deliver favorable livelihood outcomes.</p>Therefore, Propensity

Abstract:
Hedgerows, woodland edges, oldfields, woodlots, and ditches constitute important habitats for wildlife (including plants). They also play an important role in connecting larger areas in the increasing fragmented rural landscape. The intensification of agricultural practices and increase in herbicide use in some regions of southern Quebec has caused the destruction of several habitats and has lowered habitat quality by reducing plant diversity. Nevertheless, the floristic composition of these habitats is poorly known. This study aims at evaluating the structural composition and describing the a

Abstract:
To determine the effects of forest fragmentation on the abundance of small mammals, we livetrapped at edges and in the interior of forest patches in contiguous, logged, and agricultural landscapes in the southern boreal mixedwood forest of Saskatchewan. From 1994 to 1996, we captured 1548 small mammals (11 species) during 8172 trap-nights. The abundance of all small mammals combined was lower in forest patches isolated by logging than in contiguous forest or farm woodlots surrounded by agricultural land. This pattern was consistent in all years, despite significant annual fluctuations in numbe

Abstract:
Land use transformation at the farm level is attributed to household decision-making, reflected by the behavior and activities of smallholder farmers. Unfortunately, household decision-making in local communities and its determinants are site-specific and hardly understood. This study uses multistage purposive selection of households as a unit for the analysis to investigate the transformation from pure agriculture to farm forest mosaics, especially through woodlot establishment. We use key informants, household surveys, and observations to obtain data on decision-making amongst 84 farm househ

Abstract:
The recent development of new processing facilities in Meadow Lake, Saskatchewan has created a long-term market for timber in the region. Although these processing facilities are currently supplied by crown timber reserves, increasing pressure on public forest resources from multiple users has caused processors to consider private woodlots as a supplemental source of fibre. A survey was undertaken to investigate conditions under which landowners may respond to the emerging demand by managing their timber resources for harvest and sale.Survey results indicate that, although virtually no managem
