Abstract:

An agent-based forest sector model, CAMBIUM 2.0, is developed and applied to case studies of the forest industry in the coastal British Columbia (BC). By combining optimization and simulation, this model allows policy makers and managers to examine the impact of different supply chain (SC) configurations (e.g. establishing new facilities), and changing forest management policies (e.g. harvest restrictions). The forest sector structure and the state of the forest resources that develop over time are a result of autonomous agents interacting with each other while competing for available forest resources needed to manufacture forest products. The thesis is presented in four chapters. In chapter 1, I introduce SC modelling concepts and techniques and identify research objectives and methods. Chapter 2 presents and discusses the structure of the agent-based simulation model and the formulation of the facility location problem, presenting a novel algorithm for integrating the optimization problem with the simulation model. The model is applied to the case of a forest industry SC to establish a new agent. The predictions of the new agent about its profits are not strongly affected by higher levels of information about the cost structure of its competitors, while improving the accuracy of market predictions has a noticeable impact on such predictions. Chapter 3 evaluates the impact of establishing a log sort yard on the profitability of the forest products SC. Considering different market price scenarios, establishing a sort yard does not seem to benefit the forest products SC, mainly because of intense competition for timber. In Chapter 4, CAMBIUM 2.0 is used to investigate the impact of harvest policy changes on the SC performance and the timber supply sustainability. Alternative harvest priorities (e.g. harvesting stands with highest value first) and modifying the harvesting preference of the mills (i.e. harvesting a mix of high and low value stands) improves the timber supply sustainability with less negative economic impacts compared to lowering the harvest limit. The modelling framework developed in my research can be extended to address other research questions such as changing log export policies, setting stumpage prices, or encouraging replanting of economically desirable species.

Resumo: A forma de produção da agricultura em larga escala, intensiva em defensivos agrícolas, tem demonstrado ser destrutiva quanto à preservação da biodiversidade e de outros fatores de produção como solo e água. Neste sentido, novas alternativas de produção agrícola têm sido estudadas e aplicadas objetivando a recuperação dos solos, entre as quais se destaca a metodologia de sistemas agroflorestais (SAFs). A presente pesquisa tem como objetivo estudar o processo de recuperação de uma área degradada por meio da implantação de um sistema agroflorestal no Sítio Catavento, localizado no município de Indaiatuba, São Paulo, para evidenciar a viabilidade econômica dos SAFs para pequenos produtores rurais, assim como mostrar a eficiência dessa técnica na recuperação de solo degradado. Foram utilizadas neste trabalho as seguintes ferramentas científicas: (a) metodologia emergética proposta por Howard T. Odum, (b) metodologia de consórcio de espécies com sucessão vegetal e ciclagem de nutrientes desenvolvida por Ernst Götsch. Foram feitos: o levantamento dos dados sobre cobertura do solo, espécies vegetais existentes e a classificação das mesmas, bem como a identificação de suas funções ecológicas e econômicas e seus ciclos de vida. Foi equacionado e calculado o crescimento de cada uma das espécies do sistema agroflorestal. Foi estimado o valor da percolação de água de chuva. Foram obtidos os indicadores emergéticos para um ciclo completo de recuperação florestal (cinquenta anos). Os índices emergéticos calculados foram: Transformidade (Tr), Renovabilidade (%R), Razão de Rendimento Emergético (EYR), Razão de Investimento de Emergia (EIR) e a Razão de Intercâmbio de Emergia (EER). Foram encontrados os seguintes valores: a Transformidade se mantém entre 8000 e 12000, o valor inicial de EYR é 2 e depois cresce (6,5 no ano 10 e 13 no ano 50), EIR inicia com 0,17 e chega aos 40 anos com o valor de 0,10 pois o investimento é mínimo, EER inicia com 1,0 e depois decresce rapidamente (0,2 no ano 4) e a seguir decresce lentamente com o valor mínimo de 0,1 no ano 40 e depois se recupera um pouco (chegando a 0,2 no ano 50) e a Renovabilidade inicia em 52% e chega a 81% no terceiro ano, depois cresce lentamente até atingir 93% no ano 50. O lucro anual foi calculado para o caso da agricultura patronal e da agricultura familar considerando uma área de 1 ha. A patronal tem rentabilidade negativa nos primeiros 4anos, a partir do ano 5 o lucro é US$ 550 / ha.ano, no ano 6 é 900 US$ ha.ano e no ano 40 chega a US$ 17000/ ha.ano. Para o agricultor familiar os resultados são melhores
Abstract: The large-scale agricultural production system with intensive use of pesticides has been questioned by not preserving the biodiversity, the soil and the water. In this sense, new alternatives for agricultural production have been studied and implemented aiming at recovering the soil through farming techniques, among which stands out the agroforestry systems (AFS). This research aims to study the recovery of a degraded area through the establishment of an agroforestry system in Catavento farm, located at Indaiatuba county, São Paulo, in order to demonstrate either the economic viability of agroforestry systems for small farmers and the high ecological efficiency of this agricultural practice for recovering degraded environments. The method used in this study is based in: (a) ecosystems assessment using emergy methodology, as proposed by H. T. Odum (1996); (b) species consortium with vegetable succession and nutrients cycling, methodology developed by Ernst Götsch. A data survey has been done on soil covering, existing species and their classifications, as well as the identification of their ecological and economic functions and their life cycles. By applying the mentioned methodologies, a prediction of the agroforestry system behavior and a diagnosis of the dynamic process of ecological restoration have been done, using emergy indicators calculated for one complete cycle of forest recovery (fifty years). The emergy indices obtained were: Transformity (Tr), Renewability (% R), Emergy Yield Ratio (EYR), Emergy Investment Ratio (EIR) and Emergy Exchange Ratio (EER). There were found the following indices: Transformity remains between 8000 and 12000; the initial value of EYR is 2 and then it grows to 6.5, in year 10 and to 13, in year 50; the value of EIR starts at 0.17 and, after 40 years it decreases to 0.10 because the investment is minimum; the value of EER (1.0) at first decreases rapidly (0.2 in year 4) and then decreases slowly (minimum value of 0.1 in 40 years) and then it shows a slight recovery (up to 0.2 years in 50), Renewability starts at 52% and reaches 81% in the third year, then grows slowly up to 93% in 50 years. The annual profit has been calculated for the cases of employer and familiar agricultures. In the employeremployee case, the profitability is negative in the first 4 years; in the year 5, the profit is $550/ha.year, goes to US $ 900/ha in year 6 and reaches a maximum in year 40 (US$ 17.000). For the family managed farm without employees, results are better. The Catavento SAF results are promising and show, besides the recovery of biodiversity, greater valuation of rural activity, with improved socioeconomic conditions for families of small farmers

Full text

Abstract:

Extending Nepal's community forestry programme and its protected area network into lekh forests has been hampered by the assumption that people who live in or near lekh forests treat them as unregulated open access resources. This study tests this assumption by examining the interaction between local people and forests in two lekh areas of the central Middle Hills. The research is comprised of an action research approach, a theoretical framework of ecological anthropology that was also informed by forestry science, and tools and methods drawn from ethnographic fieldwork and rapid rural appraisal. The belief that lekh forests are treated as unregulated open access is challenged by demonstrating that there are clearly defined local use rights to lekh forests. Access to forest resources is regulated by forest users and relatively sophisticated and dynamic indigenous systems of forest management have been developed. The potential for implementing community forestry in the two lekh areas was explored by incorporating an element of action research in the study. A number of challenges are highlighted for the Nepal government to facilitate the improved management and conservation of lekh forests while ensuring an equitable flow of benefits to the people who depend on these forests.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis presents an examination of the interplay between bamboo and institutions of resource management in China, India and internationally, highlighting the need for greater diversity and scope of Western dominated forestry institutions and associated mechanisms. Firstly, the thesis aims to explore the conceptual understanding of forests and the exclusion of bamboo from this construction. The key reason this question is important is that it changes the 'technological zones‘ of forestry. Growing resource scarcity has meant that bamboo is now an increasingly important input in the global forest products marketplace. Secondly, the thesis aims to examine how governance mechanisms and actors respond to the inclusion of this new input. The thesis adopts the 'paper route'; the first paper traces the socio-historical reasons why bamboo‘s potential is yet to be realised, particularly within international policy. It considers the challenges of forestry being predominantly conceptualised as treed lands and the implications for the limited efficacy of sustainable forestry, carbon and trade instruments when applied to bamboo. The second paper acts as an introduction to Western produced forest certification devices, focusing on their transformation within forestry institutions and perceived legitimacy within China. The third paper focuses on a case study of bamboo certification in India. The final paper analyses the controversy regarding the efficacy of forest certification for bamboo globally. The thesis aims to explore these topics through three lines of theory. First, it contributes to institutional framing theory by examining where the idea of a 'forest' originated from and the consequences this has had for the rise of bamboo as a 'timber' product. Second, the thesis aims to further legitimacy theory in two key ways, by examining how the Chinese government accommodates and facilitates the differing needs of both international and domestic markets, whilst ultimately assuming a legitimate form of (institutionalised) domestic governance, and how the perceived input (procedure) and output (efficacy) legitimacy influence the potential success of current and future forest certification for bamboo. Third, the thesis seeks to provide a dynamic analysis of the role of certification through the lens of performativity, which uncovers how certification can create different realities for different actors. This thesis is timely and important for a number of reasons. Firstly, China is gaining more prominence on the world stage, both as an economic and political power. With increased pressure on forestry resources, the forestry administration is determined to upscale sustainable forest management. This requires adhering to global notions of sustainability thorough market mechanisms and ensuring a degree of autonomy of forest management through localising processes. Secondly, China recently received Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) bamboo certification for some of the most intensively managed areas in the country. This has increased controversy amongst experts regarding the efficacy of the mechanism to truly bring about sustainable bamboo management. Thirdly, on a more global scale, one of the crucial issues with up-scaling bamboo management is the fact that there are over 1,200 species of bamboo, with three different rooting structures: monopodial (diffuse) sympodial (clumping), and amphodial (mixed) – which have distinct policy and management needs. Focusing purely on the large-scale, intensively managed, monopodial or treelike' stands in China would ignore the vast areas of small-scale, sympodial bamboo homesteads with issues regarding flowering and propagation of sterile species. Bamboo plantations in Africa, Latin America, and India are being developed, which require enabling policy and management mechanisms. With a global industry estimated at US$10bn, the implications of an inclusive and enabling frame for bamboo management could have wide ranging impacts for both natural resource management and livelihood development.

Full text

Abstract:

Dry cloud forests on the western slopes of the Peruvian Andes were mapped from aerial photographs, 306 stands being recorded from 4^o50'S to 12^o47'S. The frequency and area of these stands, as well as most parameters analyzed in the eight sample sites, show a steep decreasing latitudinal trend and are strongly correlated with the latitudinal rainfall gradient. The mean area of the forest stands decreases from 115 ha in northern Peru to 42 ha in central Peru. The number of species recorded decreases along the study area from 52 to 13 and there is a well defined latitudinal sequence of species. Mean density and basal area per hectare of stems ≥10 cm gbh decreases from 2995 individuals and 79.91 m^2 in the north to 500 individuals and 17.27 m^2 in central Peru. The vertical structure is similar throughout the study area, emergent trees reaching on average 22 m and the main canopy 12 m in the north and 13 m and 7 m respectively in central Peru. Regeneration is very active in northern Peru. Juveniles have been found for a high proportion of species, including all common ones, and most species show a logarithmic decline in number of stems with increasing girth. There is a steep decreasing trend towards central Peru, where few species regenerate, mostly shrubs. The pattern found may be the result of the combined effect of grazing and a climatic change towards drier conditions evidenced in the regeneration pattern of most sites.

Abstract:

Climate change is expected to drastically change the environmental conditions which forests depend. Lags in tree species movements will likely be outpaced by a more rapidly changing climate. This may result in species extirpation, a change in forest structure, and a decline in resistance and resilience (i.e., the ability to persist and recover from external perturbations, respectively). In the northern Great Lakes region of North America, an ecotone exists along the boreal-temperate transition zone where large changes in species composition exist across a climate gradient. Increasing temperatures are observed in the more southern landscapes. As climate change is expected to substantially affect mid-continental landscapes, this region is especially vulnerable to climate change. My research assessed the effects of climate change under business as usual (BAU) management as well as alternative management strategies. To do so, I simulated forest change in two landscapes (northeastern Minnesota and northern lower Michigan) under three climate change scenarios (current climate, low emissions, and high emissions), and four management scenarios (BAU, modified silviculture, expanded reserves, and climate suitable planting) with a spatially-explicit forest simulation model from year 2000 to year 2150. Specifically, I explored how climate change would affect relationships between tree species diversity and productivity; how expanded reserves and modified silviculture may affect aboveground biomass (AGB) and species diversity; how climate suitable planting may affect functional diversity, and AGB; and how alternative management may affect the resistance and resilience of forests to multiple disturbances interacting with climate change. Under the BAU management scenario, I found that current and low emissions climate scenarios did not affect the relationship between species diversity and productivity; however, under a high emissions climate scenario, a decline in simulated productivity was coupled with a stronger positive relationship between diversity and productivity. Under the high emissions climate scenario, overall productivity declined in both landscapes with specific species declines projected for boreal species such as balsam fir (Abies balsamea) and black spruce (Picea mariana). Under alternative management scenarios, I simulated a limited ability to increase tree species and functional diversity, AGB, and net primary productivity under climate change. The limits of management were especially apparent under the high emissions climate scenario. In a novel approach to measuring resilience, I plotted the recovery of both initial species composition and AGB to stochastic fire events for each simulation. This approach assessed both a general response (i.e. AGB) with a more specific response (i.e. species composition). My results suggest that climate change will reduce the resilience of northern Great Lake forest AGB and species composition and that management effects will be largely outweighed by the declines expected due to climate change. My results highlight the necessity to consider even more innovative and creative solutions under climate change (e.g., planting species from even further south than I simulated).
