inappropriate patterns and drastic changes in land-use have caused the severe environmental crisis. therefore, it is necessary to accomplish any plan in relation to establishment of different activities with respect to land capabilities and land-use evaluation thought. in this study, ecological capabilities and the site selection of land uses in babolrood basin, mazandaran province were evaluat...

Th e popularity of community-based natural resource management has grown both within British Columbia’s forests and around the world. It is oft en assumed that increased local control of resources will enable more ecologically sensitive forestry practices, but this is not necessarily the case. Th rough case study examples of “earlier” community forest models in British Columbia and Mexico, the ...

Adaptation to climate change in forestry has become a growing concern, in part due to the impact of storms and other events that have raised the awareness of such risks amongst forest owners. Sweden is one of Europe’s most densely-forested countries, with this sector playing a major role economically. However adaptation has, to a large extent, been limited to the provision of recommendations to...

This paper investigates the potential contribution of forestry management in meeting a CO2 stabilization policy of 550 ppmv by 2100. In order to assess the optimal response of the carbon market to forest sequestration we couple two global models. An energy-economy-climate model for the study of climate policies is linked with a detailed forestry model through an iterative procedure to provide t...

Forestry, as a large industry, has significant impacts on the quality of nature-based tourism landscapes in boreal forests. In Finland, the rapid growth of nature-based tourism has expanded outdoor recreation activities from protected areas into timber production forests; this is particularly so in northern Finland. This paper focuses on assessing balanced local net impacts of three alternative...

management of the forest resources and related activities has significant effects on the environment. applying the environmental impact assessment (eia) provides a basis for improving forest management plans. however, in the developing countries such as iran, there have been so far no serious endeavors and research to undertake the eia of the various practices affecting the forest resources, de...

It is now well known that a healthy urban ecosystem crucial element to healthier citizens (Astell-Burt and Feng 2019), better air (Ning et al. 2016) water quality (Livesley 2016), overall, more resilient environment (Huff 2020). With ecoTeka, an open-source platform for tree management, we leverage the power of OpenStreetMap (Mooney 2015), Mappilary, open data allow decision makers improve thei...
