  • Coppice response of Khasru (Quercus semecarpifolia) under partial cuttings

    Open AccessShrabya Timsina, Nora G Hardy et al.ARTICLETrees Forests and People2025

    Appropriate coppice treatments could help establish regeneration and structural complexity in degraded forests dominated by Khasru ( Quercus semecarpifolia ) – the most prominent species among Himalayan oaks. However, the effect of varying cutting intensities on the response of coppiced Khasru stumps has not been fully explored. In a Khasru forest in Nepal, we performed two partial cutting treatments – High-intensity Coppice (HighCop) and Low-Int…

  • Sustainable forest management for carbon, wood and biodiversity must consider natural disturbance regimes

    Open AccessWeier Liu, Mark S Ashton et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2025

    Forests provide multiple benefits that include sequestering carbon, supporting biodiversity, and providing wood products. Managing temperate forests to achieve these benefits sustainably is challenging given the legacy of past human impacts, the complexity of forest development, and increasing but unpredictable disturbances. These intricacies prompted debate about the most effective management of temperate forests to achieve climate mitigation wh…

  • Tropical surface gold mining: A review of ecological impacts and restoration strategies

    Open AccessShrabya Timsina, Nora G Hardy et al.ARTICLELand Degradation and Development2022

    Surface gold mining severely degrades landscapes, causing deforestation, soil erosion and displacement, and toxic contamination. The prevalence of both large‐scale and artisanal, small‐scale surface gold mining in the tropics has risen over recent decades. Restoration strategies developed for less‐severe forms of degradation may not sufficiently address the unique ecological conditions of former gold mines. In this review, we summarize biophysica…

  • Spatial distribution and perceived drivers of provisioning service values across an East African montane forest landscape

    Open AccessEthan F Miller, Amity A Doolittle et al.ARTICLELandscape and Urban Planning2021

    Increasingly, resource managers and planners seek to manage forested landscapes for the value of the services they provide. This is especially true in the Mau Forest of Kenya, a montane area that harbors some of Kenya’s most important headwaters but has lost a quarter of its forest cover since 1999. While managing for the Mau Forest’s landscape services is a priority, it is critical to understand why and how people value these services differentl…

  • Defining and assessing urban forests to inform management and policy

    Open AccessClara C Pregitzer, Mark S Ashton et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2019

    The context in which trees and forests grow in cities is highly variable and influences the provision of ecological, social, and economic benefits. Understanding the spatial extent, structure, and composition of forests is necessary to guide urban forest policy and management, yet current forest assessment methodologies vary widely in scale, sampling intensity, and focus. Current definitions of the urban forest include all trees growing in the ur…

  • The Effect of Forest Tenure on Forest Composition in a Miao Area of Guizhou, China

    Open AccessZhiyao Lü, Charles M Peters et al.ARTICLEMountain Research and Development2016

    is one of the most expansive and important forest regions in China. Traditional Miao people have inhabited the mountains and managed the forest resources of this region for more than 1000 years. In the 1980s, the Chinese government transferred many collectively owned forests to individual household control. Since then, there have been 3 forest tenure types in Miao areas: state forests, collective forests, and household forests. The Collective For…

  • From BBC Newsroom to BBC Newscentre: On Changing Technology and Journalist Practices

    Open AccessSimon Cottle, Mark Ashton et al.ARTICLEConvergence The International…1999Cited by: 89

    New communication technologies, digitalisation and technological convergence along with multi-skilling and multi-media production are now contributing to the transformation of broadcast news production. To date, the role of technology within news production has received relatively little theoretical study. This article, based on empirical research findings from a case study of a major multi-media BBC newscentre piloting the latest digital news te…
