Climate change impacts
Climate change is a variation in temperature and precipitation for longer periods due to global warming. It has an impact on tree species distribution, composition and diversity of the forests. Our study aims to answer how future climate change is likely to have an impact on the vegetation shift of broad-leaved and coniferous forests. The study used forest resource assessment data (2010-2014) of Nepal to assess vegetation shift from the perspecti…
Forests
Is the concept of sustainable forest management still fit for purpose
The concept of sustainable forest management was developed in the 1990s and puts ecological, economic and socio-economic ecosystem functions on the same level. However, society is now making new and complex, not necessarily mutually compatible, demands on forests, for instance in the fields of climate change, renewable energy and biodiversity conservation. Policy instruments that address these societal demands and translate them into legally bind…
Do Local Perceptions of Climate Variability and Changes Correspond to Observed Climate Changes? A Comparative Study from Nepal as One of the Most Climate-Vulnerable Countries
This study explored people’s perceptions of climate change by conducting interviews and focus-group discussions with local residents of three ecological regions of Nepal, i.e., mountain, midhills, and lowland. Climatic measurements from meteorological stations of the regions were acquired for the period from 1988 to 2018. We compared the people’s perception with trends and variabilities of observed temperature and rainfall patterns. The results s…
Using Utilitarian Plants for Lemur Conservation
Nature and species conservation often conflict with intensive natural resource or land use. Many protected areas are too small for long-term conservation of viable vertebrate populations, especially in Madagascar, and forests are subject to exploitation for a variety of natural resources. Trying to exclude people from the use of these resources has not been successful during economic, natural, or political crises or when human population growth o…
Forest relevant targets in EU policy instruments - can progress be measured by the pan-European criteria and indicators for sustainable forest management
The EU climate package “Fit for 55” - a double-edged sword for Europeans and their forests and timber industry
Redd+ measurement, reporting and verification – A cost trap? Implications for financing Redd+MRV costs by result-based payments
The REDD+ initiative applies a market-based approach to reducing greenhouse gas emissions from deforestation and forest degradation. The difference between the carbon stock of forests under historical deforestation and forest degradation rates and the actual C-stock achieved by forest conservation measures will be compensated financially. The difference in C-stocks is provided by a system of measurement, reporting and verification (MRV). We inves…
Rapid field identification of cites timber species by deep learning
Enforcement of the ban on trade in protected tree species is often hampered by insufficient knowledge of species identification by the authorities responsible for control. We present a new method based on a deep learning approach that facilitates the separation of protected and non protected tree species. The classification system used here is based on the image classification model Inception-v3, a so-called transfer learning tool provided by Goo…
Future crop tree release treatments in neotropical forests – an empirical study on the sensitivity of the economic profitability
Silvicultural treatments are a common tool for increasing commercial timber production. Their impact on the growth or mortality of the remaining stand is well researched. This study focuses on the economic aspects of silvicultural treatments in neotropical forests. We have selected liberation treatments and consider them to be investments that are expected to pay for themselves through the additional growth of released trees and corresponding tim…
