We present a historical overview of forest concepts and definitions, linking these changes with distinct perspectives and management objectives. Policies dealing with a broad range of forest issues are often based on definitions created for the purpose of assessing global forest stocks, which do not distinguish between…

'Marco Basile' 'Jan Helbach' 'Marlotte Jonker' 'Anna Knuff' 'Jürgen Bauhus'] Managed forests are a key component of strategies aimed at tackling the climate and biodiversity crises. Tapping this potential requires a better understanding of the complex, simultaneous effects of forest management on biodiversity, carbon…

'Jaclyn M. Hall' 'Chiung-Shiuan Fu' 'Di Yang' 'Forrest R. Stevens' 'Michael W. Binford'] Forests in the United States are managed by multiple public and private entities making harmonization of available data and subsequent mapping of management challenging. We mapped four important types of forest management…

Board games have shown promise as educational tools, but their use in engaging learners with the complex, long-term trade-offs of forest management remains strikingly underdeveloped. Addressing this gap, we investigate how forest growth simulation data can inform decision-making through information visualization and…

'Robert Axelsson' 'Frederik Doyon' 'Martin Hermansson' 'Jonas Jacobsson' 'Yurij Pautov'] This paper analyzes how sustained yield (SY) forestry is defined and implemented in Sweden and Russia, two countries with different forest-industrial regimes. We first compare definitions of SY forestry in national legislation and…

Ecosystems worldwide face threats related to human-driven degradation, climate change, and biodiversity loss. Addressing these challenges requires management strategies that combine biodiversity conservation with climate change mitigation. Here, we aimed to identify local-scale management actions that promote…

'Sylvestre Njakou Djomo' 'Ingride Jesus Van Der Kellen' 'Valentin Bellassen'] Background Concern about climate change has motivated France to reduce its reliance on fossil fuel by setting targets for increased biomass-based renewable energy production. This study quantifies the carbon costs and benefits for the French…

Forest benefit analysis is vital in ensuring sustainable community-based natural resources management. Forest depletion and degradation are key issues in rural Zimbabwe and strategies to enhance sustainable forest management are continually sought. This study was carried out to assess the impact of forests on…

A shift from even-aged forest management to uneven-aged management practices leads to a problem rather different from the existing straightforward practice that follows a rotation cycle of artificial regeneration, thinning of inferior trees and a clearcut. A lack of realistic models and methods suggesting how to manage…

'Eva-Maria Nordström' 'Emma Sahlström' 'Jörgen Sjögren' 'Thomas Ranius'] Biodiversity conservation and economic profit from forests can be combined by various land-sparing and land-sharing approaches. Using a semi-structured survey, we evaluated support for scenarios representing contrasting conservation strategies in…

Forests are central to the EU’s climate neutrality strategy, currently offsetting ∼9% of total greenhouse gas emissions and offering further mitigation potential through harvested wood products and the substitution effect. However, the climate benefit of the forest sector is influenced by multiple interacting factors…

Managing for structural complexity to enhance forest ecosystem health and resiliency is increasingly incorporated in silvicultural treatments. High spatial variability in stands managed for structural complexity could obscure the effects of forest management on surface soils. Yet few studies have assessed how…

harvesting strategy in Toru\'n Forest District Authors: ['Jan Kotlarz'] This study investigates the application of Nash equilibrium strategies in optimizing forest harvesting decisions, focusing on multiple management objectives in forestry. Through simulation-based analysis, the research explores the evolution of…

Natural climate solutions are gaining international policy attention – with forests highlighted as a primary pathway for storing carbon. However, evaluations of additional carbon benefits and the permanence of forest carbon offsets projects remain scarce. In response, we compiled a novel database to analyze trends in…

Harvested wood products (HWPs) have a pivotal role in climate change mitigation, a recognition solidified in many Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) under the Paris Agreement. Integrating HWPs’ greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and removals into accounting requirements relies on typical decision-oriented tools…

'Han Y. H. Chen'] Encouraging family forest owners to create early successional habitat is a high priority for wildlife conservation agencies in the northeastern USA, where most forest land is privately owned. Many studies have linked regional declines in wildlife populations to the loss of early successional habitat.…

The present study contributes to the development of an online FRMP (Forest Road Management Platform) that aims to assist in the management of forest road network in a holistic way. This is achieved by the proposed methodology which serves as a database using geoprocessing and geospatial technologies for the handling…

Recent advances in remote sensing, data availability, and cloud-based computing have led to a rapid expansion of publicly accessible datasets characterizing forest cover and land use. These datasets are widely used in ecological research, natural resource management, and policymaking. However, the sheer number of…

frameworks Authors: ['Kevin Bradley Dsouza' 'Enoch Ofosu' 'Jack Salkeld' 'Richard Boudreault' 'Juan Moreno‐Cruz' 'Yuri Leonenko'] Afforestation greatly influences several earth system processes, making it essential to understand these effects to accurately assess its potential for climate change mitigation. Although…

Biochar, produced via biomass pyrolysis, is an emerging method for carbon removal in agriculture. However, its uncertain environmental outcomes hinder large-scale adoption. We address this using physics-informed machine learning (ML) to integrate kinetics-based pyrolysis modeling and global datasets of field…

Biomass burning organic aerosol (BBOA) is a major contributor to organic aerosol in the atmosphere. The impacts of BBOA on climate and health depend strongly on their physicochemical properties, including viscosity and phase behaviour (number and types of phases); these properties, and their relationships to BBOA…
