Distribution of radionuclide in the forest soils (Western Ghats-India)
Background: The presence of radionuclides in the soil, measures need to be taken to minimize the radiation dose to humans. It is mostly gamma-emitting radionuclides that contribute to the radiation dose in long term behavior of these radionuclides in soil may determine the extent to which such countermeasures need to be applied. Materials and Methods: The activity concentration of these radionu...
متن کاملOperations Research in Forest Harvesting
Operations research techniques such as mathematical programming, simulation, and the development of planning systems can contribute to decision-making in forestry management. Computers have dramatically changed the possibilities and practice of data collection, storage, analysis, and presentation but the difficulty of obtaining access to them has until recently limited their use. Development of...
متن کاملVisually Determined Soil Disturbance Classes Used as Indices of Forest Harvesting Disturbance
Visual estimates of soil and site disturbances are used by foresters, soil scientists, logging supervisors . and machinery operators to minimize harvest dis turbances to forest s i tes , to evaIuate compliance with forestry Best Management Pract ices (BMPs), and to determine the need for ameliorative pract ices such as tnechanical s i te preparat ion. Al though visual est imates are commonly us...
متن کاملForest Disturbance Impacts on Residential Property Values
Natural environments and the amenities they offer have fueled much of the population growth in the rural United States (Deller et al. 2001, English et al. 2ooo). In fact, the fastest growing counties in the United States during the early 1990s were non-metropolitan counties that were destinations for retirees or that offered outdoor recreation opportunities (Johnson and Beale 1994). Migration t...
متن کاملThe impact of fire on the forest and plants diversity in Iranian Oak forest
Fire, as a natural ecological disturbance factor in forest, this study located in the Marivan region, Northern Zagros forest, and western Iranian state of Kurdistan. In each burned and unburned area 30 circle sample plot (1000 m2) were collected by randomized–systematic method in the 100×200 m net (in total 60 plots). In every sample plot the kind of species, number of tree, the heig...
