The oak lace bug (OLB) Corythucha arcuata (Say, 1832) is an invasive alien species (IAS) that potentially could have many negative impacts on European health. Certain measures can be applied to counteract these effects. However, may not acceptable for forest managers or other stakeholder groups, such as private owners, environmental NGOs the general public. Thereby, we set out study perception ...

Climate-smart forestry (CSF) is an emerging branch of sustainable adaptive forest management aimed at enhancing the potential forests to adapt and mitigate climate change. It relies on much higher data requirements than traditional forestry. These can be met by new devices that support continuous, in situ monitoring conditions real time. We propose a comprehensive network sensors, i.e., wireles...

Forest fires cause environmental and economic damages every year, especially in the southern part of Europe. Approaches to estimate fire risk vary from practical scientific, since different professions as firefighters, meteorologists, soldiers foresters are involved. The Internet Things enables connect sources information one place, however, understanding usage processes that caused disaster so...

The Białowieża Forest is a contested transboundary forest massif in Poland and Belarus. Reflecting on transitions from value chains built sustained yield forestry to ecotourism, we pioneer documentation of how country-specific legacies shape preferences toward increased protection at the expense wood production. For both countries, used quantitative ordered logit model based questionnaires Poli...

The article is devoted to the study of dimensional and space-time structure Caragana arborescens Lam. in various ecological cenotic conditions forest park named after. Foresters Russia Yekaterinburg on basis population organismal parameters. For first time, a quantitative characteristic manifestation indicators each ontogenetic state caragana was obtained. Regularities traits depending plants t...

Forests are key ecosystems for climate change mitigation, playing a pivotal role in C and N land sequestering storage. However, the sustainable management of forests is challenging foresters who need continuous reliable information on status soil conditions. Yet, monitoring soils temperate evergreen forests, via satellite data, jeopardized by year round prevailing heavily dense canopy. In this ...

The issue of animal attacks is increasingly concerning for rural populations and forestry workers. To track the movement wild animals, surveillance cameras drones are often employed. However, an efficient model required to detect type, monitor its locomotion provide location information. Alert messages can then be sent ensure safety people foresters. While computer vision machine learning-based...

Clear-cutting is one of the most widespread forestry practices used in boreal forests. forests late successional stages could trigger reversion trajectories back toward earlier stages. Such setbacks generate sustainability issues by prolonging expected time to compositional recovery after clear-cutting. This lead overestimation allowable cuts economically important late-successional species if ...

Urban forests can provide essential environmental and social functions if properly planned managed. Tree inventories measurements are a critical part of assessing monitoring the size, growth, health condition urban trees. In this context, parameters usually collected diameter at breast height (DBH) total height, but additional data about crown dimensions (width, length, projection) required for...
