Background: The biodiversity of forests set aside from forestry is often considered best preserved by non-intervention. In many protected forests, however, remaining biodiversity values are legacies of past disturbances, e.g. recurring fires, grazing or small-scale felling. These forests may need active management to keep the characteristics that were the reason for setting them aside. Such man...

Abstract Landscape multifunctionality, a widely accepted challenge for boreal forests, aims to simultaneously provide timber, non-timber ecosystem services, and shelter biodiversity. However, multifunctionality requires the use of novel forest management regimes optimally combined over landscape, an increased share sets asides. It remains unclear how this combination will shape stand vulnerabil...

We analyse the short- and long-term consequences for atmospheric greenhouse gas (GHG) concentrations of forest management strategies product uses in Sweden by comparing modelled resource use vs. increased conservation at different levels GHG savings from carbon sequestration substitution with bioenergy other products. Increased set-asides resulted larger reductions only short term when effects ...

Background . The spread of extensive drug-resistance among gram-negative bacteria calls for the search antimicrobics with new mechanisms actions. aim was to assess susceptibility extensively drug-resistant K. pneumoniae strains cefiderocol and other inhibitor-protected β-lactams, determine genetic antibiotic resistance. Methods This study included 30 collected in 2016–2021 from 4 regions Belarus...

European countries have national sectoral polices to regulate and promote the provision of a wide range forest ecosystems services (FES). However, potential incoherencies among these policies can negatively affect efficient FES. In this work, we evaluated coherence three from Germany their ability effectively provide FES in future: Forest Strategy 2020 (FS), National on Biological Diversity (BD...

‘The Dangerous Prevalence of Imagination’ constitutes an academic response to The Tapeworm Foundry by Darren Wershler (a poet who lists imaginary proposals for artworks that he might like see created on his behalf). cites a complex network references throughout both artistic history and populist culture, doing so in form emulates the segmented structure tapeworm. Each can subsist its own, with ...

One of the major challenges confronting researchers is how to predict biogas yield because it a herculean task since research in field modeling and optimization still limited, especially with adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS). This study used ANFIS model from anaerobic codigestion cow dung, mango pulp, Chromolaena odorata. Asides controls, 13 experiments using various agglomerates s...

over marine waters, fueled primarily by several highprofile ocean commission reports and news coverage of coastal dead zones (POC 2003; USCOP 2004; MSNBC 2005). Special attention has been paid to coastal fisheries, generating heated debates over the need to relieve pressure on populations through harvesting restrictions and habitat set-asides and to reduce non-point source pollution that broadl...

The growth of human populations and their resource needs have stressed the conservation of natural land resources. Many policies and programs have been implemented to address the pressures on land resources and notwithstanding this pressure, significant acquisition of land for conservation has occurred throughout history in the U.S., and internationally. Here we assess the on-the-ground result ...
