Abstract:

Some snag characteristics were studied in three different Hyrcanian lowland forests. The highest snag density (38.4 stem&middot;ha<sup>&ndash;1</sup>) was found in fully protected forests, and it was significantly higher than in selectively logged (23.7 stem&middot;ha<sup>&ndash;1</sup>) and open access forests (8.8 stem&middot;ha<sup>&ndash;1</sup>). The snag volume, diameter and height were also significantly higher in the fully protected forests. The number of snag species was recorded in fully protected (9), selectively logged (5)

Abstract:

The fuel characteristics of a forest are important factors in designing a forest fire danger rating system and must be analyzed to understand forest fire behavior. Therefore, in this study, forest fire intensity was predicted depending on the amount of fuel in the forests in the Yeongdong and Yeongseo regions of Gangwon-do from November 2020 to December 2021. The possibility of forest fire occurrence, from surface fire to crown fire, was analyzed depending on the fuel conditions. Regional differences were found in the amount of fuel and the fuel structure of the surface layer in the forest. Th

Gap areas were calculated and classified into four classes and gapmakers were counted and classified into 4 decay and 4 diameter classes as well. Results showed that gaps comprised 13.7, 9.1 and 17.6% of the study area in initial, optimal and decay stages, respectively. There was a significant

Abstract:

The paper presents the results of the research conducted in the "Vinatovača" virgin forest in northeastern Serbia. The investigated stands belong to the complex of mesophilic beech forest types. These stands haven't had any management treatments carried out since 1957 when the virgin forest was placed under state protection as a strict natural reserve of beech with the character of a virgin forest. The results of this research were obtained by selecting homogeneous parts of the virgin forest and surveying sample plots established evenly over the entire surface of the virgin forest. Beech is th

Coarse woody debris (CWD) is an important structural and functional component in forests in Northern Iran.

The volume of CWD followed the general “U-shaped” temporal trend: the highest in the late successional forest (51.25 m<sup>3</sup>.ha<sup>–1</sup>), lowest in the middle successional forest (25.95 m<sup>3</sup>.ha<sup>–1</sup>) and intermedia

Abstract:

A forest’s structure changes as it progresses through developmental stages from establishment to old-growth forest. Therefore, the vertical structure of old-growth forests will differ from that of younger, managed forests. Free, publicly available spaceborne Laser Range and Detection (LiDAR) data designed for the determination of forest structure has recently become available through NASA’s General Ecosystem and Development Investigation (GEDI). We use this data to investigate the structure of some of the largest remaining old-growth forests in Europe in the Ukrainian Carpathian Mountains. We

Abstract:

The evaluation of forest quality is associated with the identification of the characteristics of their dynamics. Dynamic of forest communities are associated with age-related changes of indigenous forests, reduction processes, as well as forest degradation. A variety of forest forming process refers to different directions of forests development, including sustainable forest restoration, stabilization and degradation. The forest degradation, leading to the destruction of biota, is able to apply to different levels of systemic organization of forests. To assess trends in forest forming process

Abstract:

The last three decades have witnessed shifts in forest governance in favour of more inclusive approaches. In Uganda, two main approaches have been embraced in the forest sector: collaborative forest management and community forest management. However, there is scanty empirical evidence on how the latter has affected the forest condition over time. Using data from two bio-physical surveys (2006 and 2016) and Key Informant Interviews, this study examined changes in vegetation characteristics in two de facto community forests (Ongo and Alimugonza) over a 10-year period.

The forest cover of Serbia occupies around 29% of its territory, which puts it among fairly well wooded countries in Europe. The forests of Serbia are characterized by both state and private forests, medium preservation status, i.e. 27% of area that is covered by insufficiently stocked stands. Coppice forests cover about 50% of the area, and private forests are additionally burdened by fragmented plots. Forest management planning in Serbia is older than 200 years (The Plan of Deliblato Sands Afforestation 1806). There are two basic assumptions that define forest management planning: sustainabi
