Crown size estimations are of vital importance in forest management practice. This paper presents nonlinear models that were developed for crown width prediction Black pine (Pinus nigra Arn.) natural, pure, even-aged stands Olympus Mountain, central Greece. Using a number measured characteristics at tree and plot level from 66 sample plots as independent variables, an attempt was made to predict accurately, initially based on Least Square Analysis. At the second stage, mixed effect modeling...
Information on public attitudes towards the use of transgenic trees in forest plantations is important decision-making process and policy implementation for safe tree development, particularly at EU level. In Europe, very limited therefore such information completely lacking. To address this issue within FP0905 European COST Action Biosafety Transgenic Forest Trees a pioneer cross-country pilot survey was conducted using young population as focus group. This decided mainly because group...
A survey was carried out during a workshop of the Greek National Forest Governance Council to identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats for sustainable forest management assessment in Greece. The established within frame INFORM project financed through LIFE. Its main role is support development process knowledge base national policy on monitoring. This paper presents important internal external factors identified four groups: threats, forests Eastern Macedonia Thrace region,...
In the current study, a novel approach combining quantile regression with nonlinear mixed-effects (QR-NLME) modeling was applied to predict maximum crown width (cwmax) of three economically important forest species—the European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.), black pine (Pinus nigra Arn.), and Calabrian brutia Ten.) at tree level. A power QR-NLME model fitted first dataset including 1414 trees obtained from 29 randomly distributed sample plots, 770 25 1880 41 plots in Greece, cwmax Additionally,...
Total height is one of the basic morphometric tree variables included in all forest management inventories, because it connected with several processes and functions related to estimation woody volume sustainable yield. The current research, based on a total sample 1059 measured Black pine (Pinus nigra Arn.) trees from Cyprus, an attempt explore biological allometry this species develop generalized mixed-effects model for prediction. proposed model, three additional covariates two random...
Sustainable development of semi-mountainous regions supports an increase in economic investments order to profit the residents region, without however having drastic negative influences on natural environment.Green Infrastructure (GI) can be broadly defined as a strategically planned network high quality and semi-natural areas with other environmental features, which is designed managed deliver wide range ecosystem services protect biodiversity.The objective this study specification...
Volume models were developed and tested for Pinus nigra Arn., Fagus sylvatica L., Quercus pubescens Willd. to accurately predict the woody stem volume at tree level, since despite economic importance of these species in Mediterranean type forests standard do not apply. Using a total non-destructive sample 471 trees mountain northern Greece, two fundamental models, Hohenadl–Krenn equation fitted using generalised least squares (GLS) estimator along with power function, regulate unequal...
In this study, we compare ALOS World 3D 30m mesh (AW3D30) which is provided free by Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), European Digital Elevation Model (EUDEM) Environment (EEA) and the DEM created from digitized contours 1/50.000 topographic maps of Hellenic Military Geographic Service (HMGS). The vegetation height a forest environment affects elevation data AW3D30 EU-DEM, with that in mind, choose to fire break lines. two DSMs, EU-DEM v1.1 published 2016 spatial resolution for 25m...
Main subject of this paper is to investigate and evaluate methodologies for photogrammetric applications in geosciences, theoretically practically, mainly focusing on systematic monitoring surface mining areas. Its objective develop a technique adaptable the particular characteristics each application order efficiently meet criteria short time low cost, but also required high frequency application, as well those accuracy end products. Several methods mines have been developed. In particular,...
This paper presents a combination of SWOT and AHP analyses forest recreation destinations.Recreation is one the numerous services provided by ecosystems.In Greece, Ministry Rural Development Food created seven environmental settlements called "Forest Villages" in order to facilitate short-term residence each Forest Village, there are about twenty wood frame homes or log adapted natural environment.This project was successful many individuals built their private wooden lodges areas close...
Topographical information is fundamental to many geospatial related and applications on Earth. Remote sensing satellites have the advantage in such fields because they are capable of global observation repeatedly. One newest free charge digital surface model (DSM) ALOS World 3D 30m mesh (AW3D30) it provided by Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA). The AW3D30 version 1 released May 2016 March 2017 newer 1.1 with changes specific areas. In Greece, National Trigonometric Network...
