Abstract:

The forest landscape of the United States has changed over time, as has public concern for the trees, water, and wildlife. Early in the history of the United States, forests were viewed as an encumbrance and an inexhaustible resource, used to meet the needs of a growing nation. Around 1900, it became clear that old approaches were not sustainable and forest pathology saw its beginning. Annual lumber production increased from 5.4 billion to 44.5 billion board feet. Forest pathologists were called upon to help manage forests for a variety of products, with a focus on decays of wood and wood prod

Abstract:

This paper explores the current status of public participation in BC forest management with the objective of finding ways to improve it at the policy level. Public participation is discussed in relation to features of deliberative democratic theory and then within the historical context of BC forest management. Recent public complaints concerning inadequate participatory opportunities received at the Forest Practices Board and the move to diminish the extent of public participation in land-use planning is discussed. This paper maintains that effective public participation should be a goal of p

Abstract:

Changes in forestry practices in the United States have been dramatic over the past decade. These changes have been brought about largely through government regulations promulgated in response to pressure from environmental and other groups at both federal and state levels. Historically, the federal government has taken leadership in forest stewardship, though some states have demonstrated strong initiatives over the years. Two separate, but intertwined, factors combined to alter the practice of forestry over much of the United States. There were the interactive consequences of obedience to na

Abstract:

Swedish forestry is characterized by relatively intensive silvicultural practices primarily focused on the rotational even-aged management of Norway spruce and Scots pine. The diversification of these management practices, via the increased use of mixed forests and broadleaves, is a recommended means of promoting biodiversity conservation and reducing climate change-related risks. One complementary and underexplored pathway to diversifying production forest landscapes is to increase the ecological quality of retention patches at final felling. Recent studies indicate that border zones towards

Yield maps provide essential information to guide precision agriculture (PA) practices. Yet, on-board yield monitoring for sugarcane can be challenging. At the same time, orbital images have been widely used for indirect crop yield estimation for many crops like wheat, corn, and rice, but not for sugarcane. Due to this, the objective of this study is to explore the potential of multi-temporal imagery data as an alternative for sugarcane yield mapping. The study was based on developing predictive sugarcane yield models integrating time-series orbital imaging and a machine learning technique. A

Context Supplementary feeding and baiting of wild ungulates is a common management practice. Wild boar is among the most frequently fed species and its numbers are rapidly increasing throughout Europe.

It is, therefore, important to identify the dependence of wild boar on supplemental foods to determine and predict its feeding patterns under alternative population and land-use management

Abstract:

Purpose: The internal audit objective is to elevate the efficiency and effectiveness of an organization’s risks through productive criticisms. Due to the increasingly changing business environments, risk-based audit practice is essential as it focuses on domains exposed to high risks. The motivation of the study was to determine the influence of risk-based audit practices on financial performance of registered fruit processing firms in Thika Municipality, Kenya. The study was led by specific objectives which were: to determine the influence of audit risk management on financial performance of

Abstract:

The term »loss« should be distinguished from the term »waste« commonly used by forestry practitioners to indicate the difference between gross volume (planned production based on official tariffs) and net volume (produced timber volume) of trees. Volume loss in round wood refers to the difference between the actual volume of round wood and the volume determined based on the prescribed method of measurement and calculation. As a result of prescribed scaling methods and calculations, volume losses appear due to 1) used volume equations, 2) prescribed method of measurement (i.e. measurements of l

Abstract:

Although Eurocentric scholars theorize the world in terms of Western evolutionary progress rather than de-evolutionary retrogression, this paper takes a different perspective. Forced to transition away from their tangible and intangible heritages, from their families and marriages, cultures, societies, polities, and economies in ways that legitimized imperial claims to res nullius (unowned resources) and terra nullius (empty land), some indigenous people wittingly and unwittingly increasingly devolved their heritages to the colonialists that benefited from the African transitions.

Abstract. Enriched colony housing (ECH) is a relatively new egg production system. As such, information is lacking on design parameters to ensure the well-being of the hens and optimal utilization of housing resources. A new system has been developed at Iowa State University that enables automated monitoring and quantification of feeding and nesting behaviors of individual hens in ECH. Ultra-high-frequency radio frequency identification (UHF RFID) is employed to track individual animals. The UHF RFID system consists of four components: antennas, tags, readers, and a data acquisition system. Th

Family forest owners control 40% of forestland in the United States. Timber harvesting on family forests represents a critical component of the nation's wood supply. We examined how awareness and knowledge translated into actual forest management practices. We conducted field surveys on 59 family forest properties, coupled with a landowner survey designed to measure landowner engagement. We determined that engaged landowners implemented silviculture and Best Management Practices at a higher level than their less engaged counterparts. Improvement was needed across the board.

Abstract:

This article explores the dynamics of deforestation and reforestation through a simplified board game. Motivated by the urgent need to understand the impact of deforestation on biodiversity and climate, the study employs the Lotka-Volterra equations as a theoretical foundation to guide the game’s mechanics. Two variants of the game were tested, revealing patterns that closely resemble predicted outcomes of rapid forest decline as well as forest recovery and oscillations between deforestation and recovery. While the initial findings are promising, indicating that the game successfully illustrat

It provides these incentives without enforcing standardized fire mitigation practices despite many projects being located in fire prone regions. Here, we evaluated the difference between management actions in California forests that participated in the carbon offset market versus those that engaged with state programs to reduce wildfire risk via fuel reduction treatments.

The Forestry Commission is the body responsible for the sustainable utilisation, conservation and management of forest and wildlife resources in Ghana. The Commission was created by the merger of the Forestry Department, the Game and Wildlife Department and the Timber Export Development Board / Forest Products Inspection Bureau. Often, corporate institutions struggle to embrace organisational change, particularly mergers. Also, mergers, when not managed, may cause a breakdown in communication, which in turn disrupts management and performance. Hence, this study evaluates change management resu

The spectral reflectance provides valuable information regarding vegetation growth and plays an important role in agriculture, forestry, and grassland management. In this study, a small, portable vegetation canopy reflectance (VCR) sensor that can operate throughout the day was developed. The sensor includes two optical bands at 710 nm and 870 nm, with the light separated by filters, and has a field of view of 28°. It is powered by two 14500 rechargeable batteries and uses Wi-Fi for data transmission. The calibration of the sensor was performed using an integrating sphere, and a solar altitude
