Forest recreation can be successfully conducted for the purpose of psychological relaxation, as has been proven in previous scientific studies. During winter many countries, when snow cover occurs frequently, forest (walking, photography, etc.) is common. Nevertheless, whether therapy a environment with will also have positive effect on indicators remains unknown. Furthermore, male subjects frequently participate experiments, whereas females are rarely involved. Thus, this study,...
"This paper uses a multinomial discrete choice model and data from the Philippines to examine migrant between alternative destinations. Travel costs perceived opportunities at upland frontier are more important than general (upland plus lowland) destination attributes that indicate developed social infrastructure or greater expected welfare. For example, migration streams larger destinations where public share of forestland road system larger. These features also characterize regions rapid...
SUMMARY Due to various environmental and economic benefits, renewable energy has been developed rapidly in the United States over past several decades. In this study, status, challenges, public policies related development of bioenergy products from forest-derived woody biomass were reviewed. At present, existing utilization forest for purpose dominated by industry generating heat power internal use. Proposed focused on producing motor biofuels. Key conversion technologies are still...
The market of wooden beds in the U.S. has been flooded with imports from China and Vietnam recent years. Static dynamic Almost Ideal Demand System models are used to assess import demand for top seven supplying countries. analyses reveal that antidumping investigation on some temporary trade depression effect China, but diversion occurs Vietnam, Indonesia, Canada, Brazil. formal implementation duties since 2005 not shown any significant pattern. consumers spend more newly industrialized...
Despite the likely benefits of having a written forest management plan, small number landowners in United States have one. A recursive bivariate probit model was used to identify possible relationship between landowners’ decision obtain plan and their interest future timber harvesting. Our study results based on suggest that larger land ownerships, longer ownership tenure, higher education were more harvesting interest. While for wildlife also interested they did not prefer harvest future....
Carbon storage utilizing forests is one of the most important strategies for implementing climate change mitigation. Considering potential carbon in owned by nonindustrial private forest (NIPF) landowners, it imperative to understand their views regarding and sequestration. This study segments NIPF landowners southern United States on basis beliefs toward A K-means cluster analysis was used segment sequestration into three broad clusters: skeptic, supportive, neutral landowners. The results...
Abstract This study estimated quantities of logging residues that can physically be recovered from harvest sites and utilized for electricity production in the US South. Because a small number mills utilizing residues, this determined their willingness to utilize additional produce as function woody residue utilization characteristics mill management’s attitudes toward factors limiting feedstock. Approximately 98 percent occur within 35-mile hauling distance mills. Although almost all...
Abstract We examine the effects of water microdams and ensuing waterborne diseases on household decisions in Tigray, Ethiopia, where government implemented a resource development programme two decades ago. find increase productivity both fuelwood collection crop production, but costs these dams to households can be significant. In villages close dams, disease prevalence is higher all labour categories spend more time sick, spent by male female adults caring for sick family members. These...
Understanding nonindustrial private forest (NIPF) landowners' preference for harvesting woody biomass is an important issue feedstock sustainability of wood-based bioenergy industries. Given their diverse ownership objectives, assessment attributes influencing activity likely to help design preferred timber plans. Conducting a choice experiment, we analyzed preferences hypothetical plans and willingness accept the that guide behavior. The nested logit model used in analysis included...
