Initially, a brief description of forest recreation in Peninsular Malaysia is presented. This is followed by a review of techniques for estimating consumers' surplus, after which it was concluded that an application of the travel cost m

Abstract:

This thesis explores and analyzes the demand for and supply of forests in and near urban areas from a social perspective. Specific focus is directed towards recreational qualities of forests located just outside urban borders, that is, urban fringe forests. To this end, the thesis is based on four empirical research papers. Papers I and II explore the demand component, while Paper III focuses on the supply component. Finally, Paper IV integrates issues of both demand and supply. In Paper I, a survey directed to the general public in urban areas is used to address differences between public att

Research has concentrated on understanding social function and social power in Bialowieza Forest in northeastern Poland.

And it has struggled to understand how the machinations of power have enabled or disabled such values to be expressed. Over the past ten years Bialowieza Forest has been the site of a particular conflict concerning the enlargement of the existing national park to encompass the whole forest. For some who have mov

With only around 80 species globally, mangroves generally support low local tree species diversity while sustaining significant ecosystem services. The relationship between biodiversity and ecosystem function in mangroves has rarely been studied, especially when related to local forest diversity. The interdependence between biodiversity and function is important to healthy and functional mangrove ecosystems. Among the many functions of mangroves, juvenile nekton are known to utilize mangroves as their nursery habitat but the justification for this association is not clearly understood. Differe

Recent declines in returns from primary forest products in New Zealand and projected increases in world food prices have led to the land-use conversion from plantation forest to pastoral farming in many lowland areas. After decades of forest cover the soils are in many cases less than adequate for pastoral farming, as they are acidic, with toxic levels of exchangeable aluminum, and contain low levels of available nitrogen (N), very high carbon (C):N ratio, and are devoid of earthworms and structural integrity. Overcoming the major site limitations of low soil pH and available N was a major pri

Surface coal mining in Appalachia has contributed to a suite of ecological impacts, both terrestrial and aquatic. Conventional reclamation in Appalachia leads to the development of hay/pasture systems dominated by nonnative grasses and legumes, with soils that are chemically and physically unfavorable to native tree growth. Several studies have shown that more weathered minespoils provide a better growth medium than unweathered spoils in Appalachia.

Seasonality in the Amazon Rainforest is predicted to become more extreme, with dry seasons increasing in length and severity, while severe episodic droughts are expected to occur with greater frequency. Drought stress can reduce the capacity of the rainforest to sequester carbon, and severe drought events can switch the region from being a net sink to a temporary source of carbon to the atmosphere. A key component in the drought-induced carbon flux is tree mortality, and there is evidence of strong feedbacks globally and regionally in the Amazon with climate change. Although the exact cause of

Abstract:

Au cours des dernières années, la capacité de la technologie LiDAR à capturer des informations détaillées sur la structure des forêts a attiré une attention croissante de la part de la communauté des écologues et des forestiers.

Nous proposons une suite d’algorithmes dédiés à la r
