Forest management is a costly and time-consuming activity. Remote sensing has the potential to improve the process by making it cheaper and more efficient, but only if appropriate characteristics can be determined from computer-models. This thesis describes the implementation of a forest visualization system and a corresponding user study that tests the accuracy of parameter estimation and forest characterization. The study uses data obtained from field-surveys to generate a computer-modeled forest. Five different stands were tested. Based on the quantitative results obtained, generally, there is no statistically significant difference in parameter estimation when comparing field-recorded movies and computer-generated movies.

Annotation:

Climate change is expected to drastically change the environmental conditions which forests depend. Lags in tree species movements will likely be outpaced by a more rapidly changing climate. This may result in species extirpation, a change in forest structure, and a decline in resistance and resilience (i.e., the ability to persist and recover from external perturbations, respectively). In the northern Great Lakes region of North America, an ecotone exists along the boreal-temperate transition zone where large changes in species composition exist across a climate gradient. Increasing temperatures are observed in the more southern landscapes. As climate change is expected to substantially affect mid-continental landscapes, this region is especially vulnerable to climate change. My research assessed the effects of climate change under business as usual (BAU) management as well as alternative management strategies. To do so, I simulated forest change in two landscapes (northeastern Minnesota and northern lower Michigan) under three climate change scenarios (current climate, low emissions, and high emissions), and four management scenarios (BAU, modified silviculture, expanded reserves, and climate suitable planting) with a spatially-explicit forest simulation model from year 2000 to year 2150. Specifically, I explored how climate change would affect relationships between tree species diversity and productivity; how expanded reserves and modified silviculture may affect aboveground biomass (AGB) and species diversity; how climate suitable planting may affect functional diversity, and AGB; and how alternative management may affect the resistance and resilience of forests to multiple disturbances interacting with climate change. Under the BAU management scenario, I found that current and low emissions climate scenarios did not affect the relationship between species diversity and productivity; however, under a high emissions climate scenario, a decline in simulated productivity was coupled with a stronger positive relationship between diversity and productivity. Under the high emissions climate scenario, overall productivity declined in both landscapes with specific species declines projected for boreal species such as balsam fir (Abies balsamea) and black spruce (Picea mariana). Under alternative management scenarios, I simulated a limited ability to increase tree species and functional diversity, AGB, and net primary productivity under climate change. The limits of management were especially apparent under the high emissions climate scenario. In a novel approach to measuring resilience, I plotted the recovery of both initial species composition and AGB to stochastic fire events for each simulation. This approach assessed both a general response (i.e. AGB) with a more specific response (i.e. species composition). My results suggest that climate change will reduce the resilience of northern Great Lake forest AGB and species composition and that management effects will be largely outweighed by the declines expected due to climate change. My results highlight the necessity to consider even more innovative and creative solutions under climate change (e.g., planting species from even further south than I simulated).

Annotation:

Extending Nepal's community forestry programme and its protected area network into lekh forests has been hampered by the assumption that people who live in or near lekh forests treat them as unregulated open access resources. This study tests this assumption by examining the interaction between local people and forests in two lekh areas of the central Middle Hills. The research is comprised of an action research approach, a theoretical framework of ecological anthropology that was also informed by forestry science, and tools and methods drawn from ethnographic fieldwork and rapid rural appraisal. The belief that lekh forests are treated as unregulated open access is challenged by demonstrating that there are clearly defined local use rights to lekh forests. Access to forest resources is regulated by forest users and relatively sophisticated and dynamic indigenous systems of forest management have been developed. The potential for implementing community forestry in the two lekh areas was explored by incorporating an element of action research in the study. A number of challenges are highlighted for the Nepal government to facilitate the improved management and conservation of lekh forests while ensuring an equitable flow of benefits to the people who depend on these forests.

Annotation:

Forest aesthetic indicators are an important aspect of the social component of sustainable forest management (SFM) standards. However, SFM standards have few aesthetic indicators, especially at an international level. A possible reason for this is that public awareness of forest aesthetic values has often been regarded as unscientific or even contradictory to the ecological knowledge of forestry experts and that aesthetic values vary according to the cultural backgrounds of the individuals involved in any assessment. In response to the current lack of aesthetic indicators in SFM standards, several questions have been raised: (1) Does the public think forest aesthetic values are important and to what degree in terms of SFM, (2) Is there any consensus on the aesthetic values among the public and between the public and forestry experts, (3) Are there any differences in perspectives on the absence of aesthetic considerations in SFM standards between the experts participating in the creation and revision of SFM C&I and experts in the fields of forest aesthetics, and (4) How can aesthetic values be effectively and efficiently assessed? In order to address these questions, three surveys were conducted involving the public and experts in four countries. The survey revealed no significant differences in priorities for forest aesthetic values amongst selected groups of public respondents in Korea, China, Japan and Canada. However, significant differences existed between forestry experts and the public. Forest aesthetic values were rated as relatively important by the general public, but both types of experts generally rated the importance of aesthetics higher than did the public. Three major reasons for the lack of aesthetic indicators were provided by the SFM and aesthetic experts: a lack of aesthetic training amongst those designing criteria and indicators; a bias against aesthetics, which are often considered to be highly subjective; and the general omission of people with knowledge of aesthetics during the development of SFM standards. Ten possible aesthetic indicators that could be used in future SFM schemes were developed in this study. The indicators presented here and the direct involvement of aesthetic experts would improve the ability of current SFM frameworks to balance effectively social, environmental and economic values.

Annotation:

Cashmere Forest is currently a production forest comprised of mostly radiata pine (c.85%), Douglas fir (c.5%) and some non plantation areas. The Port Hills Park Trust Board (PHPTB) is interested in purchasing Cashmere Forest for the purpose of creating a public forest park environment where forestry, indigenous biodiversity, recreation and the environment are goals of sustainable management. For this purpose this draft forest management (DFM) plan has been prepared. The preparation of the Cashmere DFM plan comprised three main components: 1. An economic analysis of the current plantation component of Cashmere Forest. 2. Preparation of a draft forest management plan which encompasses the management of plantation and non plantation areas. 3. Preparation of a geographic information system (GIS) for Cashmere Forest. Economic analysis evaluated clearfell, coupe (2 to 5 ha), and a mixture of coupe and continuous canopy management (CCM) as harvesting scenarios. The coupe CCM mix was recommended for implementation primarily as it best suited long term management goals for Cashmere Forest Park while also returning modest value (NPV $561, 966). Normal cashflow analysis was also used to analyse cashflow over the first thirty years of operation from 2007. Under coupe/CCM, accrued profit does not become permanently positive until around 2019 due to initial infrastructure costs. Accrued revenue culminates at around 4 million after 30 years. This figure may drop following implementation of high pruning, alternative growth models and indigenous restoration. The Cashmere DFM plan begins with the 200 year vision which sees a Forest Park ecosystem that achieves production, environmental, ecological and recreational goals appropriate to its Port Hills location. Production forestry is practiced through the selective harvesting of a range of naturally regenerated exotic and restored indigenous species. Landscape, soil and water resources are sustainably managed through the retention of a mixed forest canopy. The forest park has been significantly augmented with indigenous flora and fauna typical of the Port Hills and ecologically significant areas are managed specifically for their indigenous biodiversity. Park recreational users are enjoying ongoing utilisation of a unique Canterbury landscape. Plantation forest management involves coupes of between 2 to 5 ha which will be harvested with cable or ground based systems with areas split approximately 50:50 between the two. Cable harvesting will be carried out with a swing yarder system with ground based operations carried out with track skidders. CCM will be carried out on a trial basis in three compartments. Re-establishment of plantation areas will aim towards occupying around 58% of Cashmere Forest, comprised of areas of radiate pine 65%, radiata pine/eucalypt 24%, Douglas fir/eucalypt 5% and Alternative species 6%. Non plantation areas are identified as either bluff, track or clearing. Within each area there may be one or more vegetation type including tussock grassland, mixed shrubland, rock association and any mixture of the three. It is proposed that the non plantation area will eventually increase to include riparian buffers 31%, restored native 55%, bluff 10% and track 4% areas, reflecting the long term vision of increased native areas in Cashmere Forest. Monitoring of forest operations, restoration, recreation and management progress will be integral to the successful implementation of the Cashmere DFM plan. A database of information will be created to allow periodical reviews of processes and predictions and reconciliation of costs and revenues associated with the management of Cashmere Forest. Periodical reviews will also be undertaken by an independent management advisory group who can liaise with the project manager of Cashmere Forest Park to discuss issues and aid planning and ensure the successful establishment of this unique park resource.

Annotation:

After the Brundtland report and the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) in 1992, the concept of sustainable development was adopted in the forest arena, recognizing the importance of forest to the whole world. As a consequence, forest management was changed going from sustainability, in terms of sustainable use of the timber production, to the multifunctional role of forests and up to the definition of the concept of Sustainable Forest Management (SFM). The acknowledgement of the multifunctional role of forest has led to the increase of the importance of forest resources, and forestry has become a very complex field. The numerous benefits that society receives from forests result in the increased interest of stakeholders, which are often in conflict. The increase of pressure on the demand for multiple uses of forest in the same lands has emphasized the need of new tools for forest management. In response to these issues, many efforts have been made by researchers, although there is still much to do and to learn, because of the current global issues concerning climate change, loss of biodiversity, water scarcity and energy. SFM plays a crucial role for maintaining healthy, diverse and productive forests ensuring the supply of forest services for human needs. Forest planning represents a very important tool to support SFM, but often the traditional knowledge and management tools are not capable of satisfying all the stakeholders’ needs. The formulation of Forest Management Plans, that are acceptable to all stakeholders, requires the balancing of the different interests and decisions because makers have to meet multiple objectives, or in order to get an acceptable balance if objectives conflict. Hence a large scale management, such as the landscape management is required for a better understanding of the joint production or multiple benefits which forest ecosystems provide to human welfare. In the latest years, new tools of forest planning have been developed, with particular emphasis at the ecosystem approach and on the importance of the scale management. Territorial Forest Plan (TFP) represents a new and helpful tool of forest planning to support SFM, aiming to the improvement of the ecological connectivity and ensuring the production of forest ecosystem services. This work stresses the important role of forest planning at territorial level, with particular emphasis on the Natura 2000 site, for allowing the production of ecosystem services such as biodiversity conservation and the water conservation in terms of quality and quantity. Furthermore, it shows three main tools to support SFM with three different case studies. Firstly it demonstrates the role of Geographic Information System (GIS) technologies in monitoring sustainable management model of forest resources in the Logone Valley between Chad and Cameroon (Africa). The second describes the Multi Criteria Decision Analysis approach for mapping forest area with the same priority forest function. Finally, the participatory approach through the application of Indicators Analytic Networks has been described.
In seguito al rapporto di Brundtland e alla Conferenza delle Nazioni Unite su Ambiente e Sviluppo (UNCED) del 1992, il concetto di sviluppo sostenibile è stato adottato anche in ambito forestale riconoscendo l’importanza delle foreste per il mondo intero. Questo ha determinato un’evoluzione della gestione forestale, passando dalla sostenibilità della produzione legnosa, al ruolo multifunzionale delle foreste, fino a definire il concetto di Gestione Forestale Sostenibile (GFS). La consapevolezza da parte della società, che le foreste svolgono un ruolo multifunzionale, ha favorito una crescita dell’importanza delle risorse forestali, ma al tempo stesso ha aumentato la complessità di questo settore. I numerosi benefici che la società percepisce dalle foreste hanno determinato un aumento dei fruitori di interesse, spesso in conflitto tra loro. L’aumento della pressione sulle foreste per la produzione di più funzioni nella stessa superficie, ha evidenziato l’esigenza di nuovi strumenti di gestione forestale. Per rispondere a queste esigenze, numerosi sforzi in ambito scientifico sono stati fatti, ciononostante, c’è ancora molto da fare e da imparare, a causa delle attuali questioni globali riguardanti i cambiamenti climatici, la perdita di biodiversità, la scarsità di acqua e di energia. Il ruolo della GFS è cruciale per conservare la vitalità, la biodiversità e la produttività delle foreste, garantendo la produzione dei servizi forestali per i fabbisogni umani. La pianificazione forestale è uno strumento molto importante a supporto della GFS, ma spesso le conoscenze e i tradizionali strumenti di gestione non sono sufficienti per soddisfare le numerose aspettative dei fruitori di interesse. La redazione di Piani di Gestione Forestale, affinché sia accettabile da tutti i fruitori di interesse, richiede un’attenta valutazione dei diversi benefici e delle scelte da parte dei decisori, al fine di soddisfare più obiettivi, oppure per raggiungere un compromesso, nel caso in cui gli obiettivi sono in conflitto. Per questo è necessaria una gestione a scala di livello più ampia, per esempio a scala di paesaggio, in modo tale da favorire una migliore conoscenza del valore complessivo e dei numerosi benefici che le foreste forniscono per il benessere umano. Negli ultimi anni, nuovi strumenti di pianificazione forestale sono stati sviluppati, con particolare attenzione all’approccio ecosistemico e all’importanza della scala di gestione. Il Piano Forestale di Indirizzo Territoriale (PFIT) rappresenta un utile e innovativo strumento di pianificazione forestale a supporto della GFS, con l’obietto di migliorare la connettività ecologica assicurando la produzione di servizi ecosistemici delle foreste. Il presente lavoro evidenzia l’importante ruolo della pianificazione forestale a scala territoriale, con particolare riferimento ai siti di Natura 2000, per promuovere la fornitura di servizi ecosistemici, quali la conservazione di biodiversità e la tutela della qualità e quantità dell’acqua. Inoltre, presenta tre principali strumenti di GFS, in tre differenti casi di studio. Il primo illustra il ruolo dei Sistemi Informativi Territoriali (SIT) per il monitoraggio di modelli di gestione sostenibile delle risorse forestali nella Valle del Logone, a confine tra Ciad e Camerun (Africa). Il secondo descrive l’applicazione dell’analisi multicriterio per identificare aree forestali con la stessa funzione prioritaria. L’ultimo caso studio tratta del processo partecipativo utilizzando gli indicatori di gestione forestale, attraverso la Network Analysis.

Annotation:

Erosion is a serious concern across the US and the globe. One effective method to reduce soil erosion is to apply rolled erosion control products (RECPs). One material source for use in RECPs that has not been studied is low-value forest residuals (LVRs). The objectives of this study were to design RECPs out of four LVRs (leaf litter, willow whiplets, willow chips, spruce needles) and to assess their ability to reduce soil loss, control water quality (turbidity and total phosphorous), and enhance germination. LVR RECPs were tested using ASTM standards on bare, detritus, and burned soils. Leaf litter and spruce needle RECPs were highly effective at all three abilities, while the willow whiplet and chip RECPs were effective at reducing erosion, but less effective at controlling water quality and enhancing vegetation. Overall, the use of LVRs as a material source for RECPs shows great promise.

Annotation:

Climate change will pose increasing challenges to forest managers working to achieve sustainable forest management in the boreal forest. A logical starting point for climate change adaptation is to proactively identify management practices and policies that have a higher likelihood of achieving management objectives across a wide range of potential climate futures. This research implemented an approach to identifying such measures by tapping into the experiential knowledge base of local forest practitioners. The assessment was organized according to a structured decision-making (SDM) approach. Northern forest practitioners consider the goals of climate change adaptation to be synonymous with those of sustainable forest management indicating that the criteria for the conservation and sustainable management of boreal forests as defined by the Montréal Process are suitable objectives against which the performance of alternative adaptation options can be assessed. The case study area for this research was the Champagne and Aishihik Traditional Territory of southwest Yukon where a climatically-driven, large-scale spruce bark beetle disturbance has been driving forest management planning yet climate change considerations have not been directly addressed in the planning process. Twenty-four adaptation options were identified as being important to implement in forest development areas to achieve regional goals and objectives of forest management across three scenarios of climate change. In addition, the performance of alternative strategies to re-establish forests was assessed. Results indicate that the applicability of alternative forest renewal adaptation strategies is strongly related to the objectives of forest management which differed across the forest management planning area. However, since none of the strategies were judged to perform highly across any of the scenarios of climate change, additional work is needed to explore whether a threshold of acceptability can be met even with the adoption of adjustments to forest management policies and practices. If not, management objectives themselves may need to be revised. An extensive list of research and monitoring needs were also identified, an indication that climate change is providing the imperative for a more comprehensive research and monitoring program to support the sustainable management of forest resources in this region. The next steps in a SDM approach are to implement adaptation options and strategies deemed appropriate and to monitor their performance in achieving management objectives within an adaptive management context.

The Forest Service faces significant climate change-related management challenges. Understanding employee perspectives on climate change will inform potential strategies to address these challenges. By analyzing data from key informant interviews and an internet survey of Forest Service employees in the Intermountain West, this study examined how Forest Service employees view and approach climate change, assessed how they perceive barriers to and opportunities for climate change adaptation within the National Forest System, and compared their perspectives across the organizational hierarchy, from district level to national policy making. The results show that although forest managers consider climate change a concern for the agency in general, they do not necessarily see how it affects the work they do personally. Although they tend to agree that climate change should be a high priority for the agency, their own ability to incorporate adaptive practices into managing a National Forest is limited by various constraints, including a lack of time, funding, and personnel, a lack of direction for on-the-ground management, and a communication gap, which has inhibited climate change-related knowledge transfer within the agency. Thus, more effective communication is needed to help forest managers see how climate change affects various aspects of forest ecosystem health in their own National Forests or districts, how climate change poses challenges to forest resilience, and what can be done to incorporate climate change considerations into their own work. The agency needs to focus on building trust, especially across its hierarchical structure, and on encouraging both vertical and horizontal information flow among employees to facilitate scientific knowledge sharing and to enhance formal and informal social networking for increased collaboration. The agency also needs to create more opportunities for district-level employees to provide feedback and get involved in climate change-related policy making, as they are a crucial source of local knowledge and experience and can be invaluable in problem-solving within the National Forest System. The insights from this study not only contribute to the Forest Service’s continuous efforts to adapt to climate change but also shed light on strategies that can be tailored by other natural resource agencies to address various management challenges within the context of global environmental change.

Many products are harvested from the forests of the United States in addition to timber. These non-timber forest products (NTFPs) are plants, parts of plants, or fungi that are harvested from within and on the edges of natural, disturbed or managed forests. Often, NTFPs are harvested from public forests for the socio-economic benefit they provide to rural collectors. Social science and market research methods were used to examine the extent that NTFPs are addressed in national forest management plans, identify and explore issues that affect their management, and determine the attitudes and perceptions of forest managers at various levels within the U.S. Forest Service. Non-timber forest products have not been considered in national forest management plans to the extent that have other forest resources. Fewer that 25 percent of the current management plans for the national forests of eastern United States address NTFPs. However, the Forest Service Directive System provides sufficient policy and procedural direction at the national and regional level for the management for NTFPs and legislation enacted in 2000 directs the Forest Service to develop a pilot program to beginning managing for these products. Managers with expertise and education in botany, wildlife, recreation, and wilderness had significantly more positive attitude toward managing for NTFPs than did managers with a more traditional (timber-based) educational background. A regression model of intention to include NTFPs in the forest management plans was developed using data from forest managers and based on the Theory of Reasoned Action. Both attitude and perception were found to be significant determinants of behavior intention. A common perception among forest managers is that NTFP management is not an issue of public concern. Also, managers do not perceive that the lack of management is a problem. Without a visible and vocal constituency, the impetus for change must necessarily come from within the organization. Efforts by the U.S. Forest Service to manage for NTFPs will be hampered by a lack of information and expertise. But, the activities of more progressive national forests suggest that sufficient knowledge does exist for the agency to take a more proactive approach to management.

Annotation:

Climate change is one of the most important challenges of the 21st century. The increase in the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere, in temperatures, and changes in the precipitation pattern are expected to alter the dynamics of forest ecosystems and the process of natural disturbances like fire or pests. Thus, it seems necessary to adopt policies to increase the resilience of forest ecosystems through management practices. At the same time, forest ecosystems can play an important role to mitigate climate change impacts through the sequestration of carbon. This thesis aims to integrate a biogeochemical and an economic model in order to determine the optimal management regime of a forest under climate change. It analyses the capacity of Mediterranean forests to adapt to new environmental conditions, to an increase in wildfires, and evaluate the associated costs and benefits. Likewise, it determines forest carbon sequestration costs, so that they can be compared with the costs of other mitigation policies
El canvi climàtic es un dels reptes mes importants del segle XXI. L’increment en l’atmosfera de la concentració de CO2, en les temperatures i en el règim pluvial, comportarà canvis en la dinàmica dels ecosistemes forestals així com en els processos de pertorbació naturals com els incendis o les plagues. Per tant sembla necessari adoptar polítiques que augmentin la resiliencia dels ecosistemes forestals a través de la gestió. Al mateix temps, els propis ecosistemes forestals poden ajudar a mitigar els impactes del canvi climàtic mitjançant l’emmagatzematge de carboni. La present tesis integra un model biogeoquímic amb un d’econòmic per determinar la gestió òptima d’una parcel·la forestal en presencia de canvi climàtic. Això permet analitzar la capacitat dels boscos mediterranis d’adaptar-se a les condicions climàtiques canviants i a l’increment d’incendis forestals, avaluant d’aquesta manera els costos i els beneficis associats. A més, també es determinen els costos de l’emmagatzematge de carboni amb la finalitat que puguin ser comparats amb els costos d’altres polítiques de mitigació

Annotation:

In the past, forested areas have been used primarily for timber production. However, the recent growth of nature-based tourism has given monetary value to the recreation and scenic characteristics associated the forests in many places. This can lead to conflicts between forestry and tourism raising questions relating to the management of these two industries. What impact does forestry have on the perception of tourists in region’s that promote natural landscapes? Are certain tourist segments affected differently by the impacts of forestry in regions that market natural landscapes? How can forests be managed to ensure that tourism values are not compromised by other forest interests? To gain a better perspective of tourism and forestry related conflicts this investigation utilized a comparative case study method. The case study locations selected include Vancouver Island, Canada and Tasmania, Australia. At each destination visitors were surveyed at three types of attractions to understand differences in forestry perceptions between user groups. Forestry and tourism professionals from both regions were also interviewed. Vancouver Island and Tasmania were chosen because of the important role that both forestry and nature-based tourism play in shaping the economies of both places. Despite these similarities, differences exist in the way these two industries are managed. These differences were important for providing insight into management strategies that could be used to address these conflicts. Results suggest that forestry impacts have the potential to negatively impact upon visitor perceptions. However, this seems partly dependent upon the type of impact observed, as differences were noted between harvested areas, tree plantations, logging trucks and saw/pulp mills. Results from the different sample groups were compared to learn whether or not differences exist in the way that tourist user groups are affected by exposure to forestry impacts. Findings provided a limited amount of evidence to support this. Through the analysis of the semi-structured interviews a set of recommendations were developed to help assist forestry and tourism managers who may be dealing with similar land use conflicts. These recommendations would be useful for land managers in other jurisdictions where similar conflicts between forestry and tourism exist.

The importance of ecological and socio - economic forest fires shows the relevance of research techniques and approaches for integrating the planning processes of forest management and fire management . This PhD aimed to investigate these approaches and contributing to the effectiveness of strategies for preventing fires both at the stand level or landscape level. In this context, probabilistic models of fire occurrence and estimated mortality to the main Portuguese forest species (maritime pine and eucalyptus) in pure composition of regular and irregular structures were developed. These were later integrated into a management model that optimizes harvests scheduling for each stand in order to create more fire resistant landscapes. It’s being developed a technologic platform to test these models and their combination with an innovative approach to incorporate fire risk and protective objectives in forest management planning.
