A concern in the forestry literature is the perceived difference in production behavior between industrially owned forest land and land managed by nonindustrial private forest (NIPJ?) owners (Clawson; Binkley; USDA Forest Service). For instance, in the southern United States, a large share of the region’s softwood timber production (35%) comes from the relatively small share of forested acreage...

Mr. GREEN of Wisconsin. Mr. Chairman, I submit the following resolutions for the RECORD. Whereas, our National Forests were established in the 1920’s for multiple use including soil and water protection, recreation, and timber production, and; Whereas, harvesting is an integral component of multiple-use management of forest lands, and; Whereas, it is not in the best interest of sustainable ecos...

The main objective of this study is to assess the spatio-temporal dynamics of land cover/land use changes in the lower Mekong Delta over the last 40 years with the coastal Tran Van Thoi District of Ca Mau Province, Vietnam as a case study. Land cover/land use change dynamics are derived from moderate to high spatial resolution (Landsat and SPOT) satellite imagery in six time intervals ranging f...

Agricultural expansion in Sub-Saharan Africa is characterized by different farm ages smallholder communities. This study investigated changes microbial indices broadly (i) at the reconnaissance survey level four agro-ecological zones and (ii) farms forest (Dompem) forest–savanna transition (Adansam) zones, as influenced duration of cultivation. Soils from one-year (first cultivation cleared for...

Although biofuels are thought to be one of the solutions for reducing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, the net effects might be ambiguous when indirect land use effects are incorporated. Along with the increasing price of biofuel crops, forest lands might be destroyed throughout the world. In this study, the net effect of the increases in U.S. production of corn due to ethanol demand is explor...

The work is devoted to the study of temporal variability CO 2 fluxes on fallow lands during their introduction into agricultural turnover. aim was determine emissions soil from turnover by different technologies under conditions subtaiga natural-climatic zone southern part western Siberia. In 2022, scientific research carried out key plots in Omsk region. land plot thick grey forest loamy (Luvi...
