TheKyoto Protocolunder the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change allows countries to receive credits for their carbon-sequestration activities in the area of land use, land-use change, and forestry as part of their obligations under theprotocol. Such activities could includeafforestation...
the amplification strength of fire size in postfire biogeophysical responses is consistent with fire vulnerability across different forest types (Fig.3). Postfire decrease in LAI was the greatest in ENF, slightly lower in DNF and much lower in MF, and almost negligible in DBF ...
If the stands belonging to habitat subtypes and forest associations alone are considered conservation units, and their biodiversity portrayals need to be sustained, only a free-style silvicultural system (Diaci, 2006b) can be implemented. The same areas must also be subject to monitoring and ...
The forest fire detection and warning platform uses front-end and edge AI to effectively improve identification timeliness and accuracy and reduce the false positive rate of fire incidents. The false positive rate is fewer than three instances per day per 10,000 hectares, and the comprehensive accu...
forests across thevegetation typesof the United States in order to quantify their abundance and distribution. Defining old growth has been described as a “wicked problem” that involves values, science, and management; requires multiple disciplines; and can be expressed from many contradictory ...
types (i.e., planted or natural forest) and nor was forest management simulated in assessing LUCC-induced C balance. Planted forests (PFs) and natural forests (NFs) should be distinguished because their capacities of C uptake and storage vary considerably due to different species composition, ...
Their drupes are carried by birds and few seedlings were found in the scrub. The scrub floor was heavily shaded when its canopy was covered by lianes. The deep shade and frugivore activity prevent the invasion of other dominant species which would change the scrub into another type of forest...
subalpine forest and the northern coniferous forest. Although vegetation varies somewhat with elevation, slope position, and soil, particularly from north to south and east to west, the Rocky Mountain coniferous forests are remarkably similar in species composition and stand structure along their entire...
It is necessary to take appropriate field measures of environmental conditions to prevent and manage forest and land fires and to minimize their adverse impacts. Forest and land fire prevention is an effective and efficient approach to reducing the fires' negative impacts. This approach has become ...
Continuing to use his strength and shrewd intelligence, Temümjin's power increased until he was finally able to marry his long-betrothed wife, Börte, and form an alliance with the Keraits, their greatest Tatar enemy. One by one, Genghis Khan subdued the remaining tribes and for the most...
