In general, the Indonesia official land use zone is divided into two main categories: state forest and non-state forest areas. State forest is land area that is designated by the government as “forest zone or areas” (kawasan hutan). Based on the recent Consensus of Forest Land Use (TGHK) and Provincial Spatial Plans (RTRWP), forestland in Indonesia today covers 112.5 million hectares, or almost...

forest roads are basic infrastructures for management of forested areas. sustainable management of roads depends on regular and timely forest road maintenance. road inventory is as an important tool to recognize the needs of roads and do corresponding correction operations. gis can be a powerful tool for acquirement, analysis and management of data in road management. the purpose of this study ...

The major purpose of this study is to assess the perception of managers in the Forest, Range and WatershedOrganization. It is an applied study by using descriptive–correlative method. A questionnaire was developedand data collected from 105 respondents. The validity and reliability of questionnaires was verified. Theresults of study show that there was a relationship between educational level, ...

A. D. Wilson The USDA Forest Service has been involved in Texas oak wilt research since 1976. Despite research successes, there are still many important research areas that have not been addressed or sufficiently investigated to answer the key questions required for making sound disease management decisions. Some of the priority areas planned for future research by the Southern Hardwoods Labora...

This thesis describes the development of a knowledge-based system to evaluate forested land for availability of wildlife habitat. NED is an acronym derived from “Northeast Decision Model”. The NED DSS, a collection of software products, was created to help resource managers to build up goals, access current and potential conditions, and create long-term, landscape-level management plans for for...

This paper analyses global progress towards sustainable forest management by climatic domains and national income levels using data from the Global Forest Resources Assessment 2020. It also examines enabling conditions for management. The findings reveal globally supported widespread presence of frameworks. However, such has been uneven, rate loss is accelerating in tropical low-income countrie...

Dr. Engineers, ICONA (Instituto National para la Conservacion de la Naturaleza), Madrid, Spain. Abstract: Management of the fragile and greatly modified ecosystems in the Spanish Mediterranean climate is complex. Rainfall occurs in a few intensive storms on rough topography. Climax vegetation is sparse forest dominated by evergreen xerophilic species. The emphases of the National Institute for ...

We propose that the pileated woodpecker (Dryocopus pileatus) is a keystone habitat modifier in the Pacific Northwest. It is the largest woodpecker in this region and the only species that forages primarily by excavating; only pileateds are capable of creating large cavities in hard snags and decadent live trees. A wide array of species, including many that are of management concern in the Pacif...

Urban trees are a dominant natural element in cities; they provide important ecosystem services to urban citizens and help urban areas adapt to climate change. Many rationales have been proposed to provide a purpose for urban forest management, some of which have been ineffective in addressing important ecological and social management themes. Among these rationales we find a values-based persp...
