The transformation of even-aged forests into continuous cover to improve resilience and promote biodiversity in Central Europe necessitates a re-evaluation forest sampling designs. This study examines the precision accuracy two widely used terrestrial methods, namely Angle Count Sampling Fixed Area Plot Sampling. By simulating multiple samples typical well-established Plenter Switzerland, we analyse error components variabilities different methods for three key stand parameters: stem number...
Domestic wood production in Japan is low, and more than 60% of the consumed imported. This surprising because two-thirds Japan’s land area covered by forests. The dominant explanations for this low self-sufficiency rate are lack forest road infrastructure small-scale ownership structure. Austria a country that similar topography structure but has high rate. Therefore, previous research compared to Austria. However, these studies did not address basic properties much detail. study uses...
Forests stand at the forefront of climate change adaptation strategies, with their ability to sequester and store carbon, sustain bioeconomies, foster biodiversity, provide a whole range other ecosystem services. There is an increasing trend promoting this multipurpose functionality forests, resulting in shift towards silvicultural practices that differ heavily from now dominant even-aged, clear-cut forestry. One these alternative management promote plenter forest management, type...
In Bosnia & Herzegovina, uneven-aged Plenter forest is the dominating management system and applied to 90% of high area. This differs from most other European countries, where even-aged dominating. However, interest in increasing, as mixed diverse stands are considered be more resilient versus forests. this study, we analyse Herzegovina demonstrate application tree growth model MOSES (Modeling Stand rESponse) for region. After validating using independent data, perform simulation scenarios...
