Long-term effects of policies to induce carbon storage in forests were projected with the Global Forest Products Model. Offset payments for carbon sequestered in forest biomass of $15–$50/t CO2e applied in all countries increased CO2 sequestration in world forests by 5–14 billion tons from 2009 to 2030. Limiting implementation to developed countries exported environmental damage from North to S...

While around 20% of the Amazonian forest has been cleared for pastures and agriculture, one fourth of the remaining forest is dedicated to wood production. Most of these production forests have been or will be selectively harvested for commercial timber, but recent studies show that even soon after logging, harvested stands retain much of their tree-biomass carbon and biodiversity. Comparing sp...

This paper provides a synthesis of a 2-phase approach used by the Canadian Ecology Centre – Forestry Research Partnership (CEC-FRP) to implement adaptive management on 6 forest management units in northeastern Ontario. It also provides a summary of a self evaluation of the partnership using a set of attributes deemed necessary to successfully implement adaptive management (i.e., leadership; ali...

The 90,674 wildland fires that burned 2.9 million ha at an estimated suppression cost of $1.6 billion in the United States during the 2000 fire season demonstrated that forest fuel loading has become a hazard to life, property, and ecosystem health as a result of past fire exclusion policies and practices. The fire regime at any given location in these regions is a result of complex interaction...

Through a combined adaptive cycle and political ecology approach, this article explores how the Afro-Brazilian Quilombolas of Bombas, living inside the protected area of PETAR, respond to and shape social-ecological changes in the Atlantic Forest. Field data reveal that both environmental restrictions and social policies of state transfer payments and food packages have contributed to decreased...

Ambiguity in terms of property rights, displacement and livelihood insecurity, among others has been causes of distress among tribal communities, resulting in tribal unrest, social tensions and conflicts in Kerala and other parts of India. In response, forest policies were implemented with the most recent being the Scheduled Tribes and Other Traditional Forest Dwellers Recognition of Forest Rig...

Despite increasingly more comprehensive policies for forest management, the lastforty years in Mexico has witnessed a continuing pattern of mismanagement. While somehave pointed a finger at underlying factors such as population growth and poverty,focusing on these factors tend to “blame the victim.” Political elements such as acentralized government, a dominant political party, ...

E-mail address: [email protected] In the modern era, high-impact mega-fires are unprecedented for the suppression costs, property losses, natural resource damages, and loss of life often involved. For a number of years, these extraordinary wildfires have been increasing i...

It is only relatively recently that national adaptation strategies have begun to develop measures by which forestry can adapt to climate change; often those measures opt to use a relatively general strategy for coping under conditions of disturbance. Particularly in states using intensive forest management, such as Sweden, this approach marks a departure from current strategies for achieving ma...
