We report the results of descriptive and functional analyses of a representative forest and watershed in the southwestern Alps, where the Forest Service has attempted reforestation of badlands for erosion control since 1860, relying on the non-native ssp. (Austrian black pine). One hundred twenty ...

depending on whether the intervention is a reforestation or afforestation. The biology of the land, ecology, trees, and local environment need to be understood in order to create the necessary conditions for the entire ecosystem to thrive
Introduction Terrestrial ecosystems globally act as net carbon (C) sinks, thus providing a key ecosystem service for global climate-change mitigation1. By contrast, global forest biomass has acted as a net C source to the atmosphere over the last three decades, according to the most recent Fore...
Under the Kyoto Protocol, forestry is permitted as a sink measure under the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM), but only in the form of 'afforestation' and 'reforestation'. These tend to involve large-scale plantation systems, which although cost effective in terms of carbon sequestered, in most...
The reproductive strategy selected by fire severity underlines the changes in the functional identity of the understory. The new community exhibits plants that produce light seeds (small) but in large quantity. These two characteristics are often associated with a disturbed environment where, although ...
Overall, from a sustainability perspective, the cascading principle of wood utilisation from the EU Forest Strategy (European Commission, 2021) should apply, prioritising wood use in the following order: (1) wood-based products, (2) extend service life, (3) re-use, (4) recycling, (5) ...
Numerous countries have adopted large-scale tree planting programs as a climate mitigation strategy and to improve local livelihoods. However, it remains poorly documented how the surge in tree plantations has altered local livelihoods. Here, we assess whether tropical tree plantation expansion and fore...
We then employ a multi-model strategy to project the carbon and nitrogen trajectories in global forests from 2040 to 2100 under future warming scenarios. Finally, we assess the impacts of warming on forest assets in terms of ecosystem well-being, climate influence, and forest production using a...
“Communication as a tool to harmonize the needs of society and the forestry sector” was implemented in 2019–2021 and reacted to the need to find a communication strategy among relevant stakeholders in the country. A website,www.nekrmbrouka.cz(“Don’t feed the bug”), was also ...
