Significant increase in ecosystem C can be achieved with sustainable forest management in subtropical plantation forests
(Public Library of Science, 2014)
Artículo / Artikulua,
Subtropical planted forests are rapidly expanding. They are traditionally managed for intensive, short-term goals that often lead to long-term yield decline and reduced carbon sequestration capacity. Here we show how it ...
Forests may need centuries to recover their original productivity after continuous intensive management: an example from Douglas-fir stands
(Elsevier, 2012)
Artículo / Artikulua,
How long would it take for forests to recover their original productivity following continuous intensive management if they are left untouched? This issue was explored using the model FORECAST, calibrated and validated for ...
Más allá de los modelos de crecimiento: modelos ecológicos híbridos en el contexto del manejo forestal sostenible
(Sociedad Española de Ciencias Forestales, 2012)
Artículo / Artikulua,
El desafío actual en el manejo forestal es la planificación de suministros sostenibles de madera
y otros valores forestales, a la vez que se preserva la integridad del ecosistema forestal. En conse-
cuencia, el uso de ...
Effects of nitrogen deposition on carbon sequestration in Chinese fir forests ecosystems
(Elsevier, 2012)
Artículo / Artikulua,
Nitrogen deposition and its ecologic effects on forest ecosystems have received global attention.
In this paper, the ecosystem model FORECAST was used to assess the effects of nitrogen
deposition on carbon sequestration ...
Determining suitable selection cutting intensities based on long term observations on above-ground forest carbon, growth, and stand structure in Changbai Mountain, Northeast China
(Taylor & Francis, 2014)
Artículo / Artikulua,
We studied the effects of different cutting intensities (0%, 5-10%, 15%, and 20% basal area removal) on stand growth, structure, and net carbon storage in spruce-fir (Picea asperata Mast.-Abies fabri Mast. Craib) and ...
Resilience assessment of lowland plantations using an ecosystem modeling approach
(MDPI, 2015)
Artículo / Artikulua,
As afforestation programs of former farmlands take hold in Taiwan to achieve a
variety of ecological and socio-economic values, it is becoming necessary to define best
forest management. Hence, we simulated mixed ...
Fire in the woods or fire in the boiler: implementing rural district heating to reduce wildfire risks in the forest-urban interface
(ElsevierThe Institution of Chemical Engineers, 2015)
Artículo / Artikulua,
Many rural communities in British Columbia (western Canada) are at risk from wildfire. This risk will increase over time as a result of climate change because of higher average temperatures, longer growing seasons, and ...
Pedogenic, mineralogical and land-use controls on organic carbon stabilization in two contrasting soils
(Agricultural Institute of Canada, 2010)
Artículo / Artikulua,
Organo-mineral complexation in soils is strongly controlled by pedogenesis, but the mechanisms controlling it and its interaction with cultivation are not yet well understood. We compared the mineralogy and quality of ...
Characterization of the Amaranthus palmeri physiological response to glyphosate in susceptible and resistant populations
(ACS Publications, 2016)
Artículo / Artikulua,
The herbicide glyphosate inhibits the plant enzyme 5-enolpyruvylshikimate3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS) in the aromatic amino acid (AAA) biosynthetic pathway. The physiologies of an Amaranthus palmeri population exhibiting ...
Meat waste as feedstock for home composting: effects on the process and quality of compost
(Elsevier, 2016)
Artículo / Artikulua,
Home composting is a powerful tool, which is spreading in different parts of the world, to reduce the generation of municipal waste. However, there is debate concerning the appropriateness, in terms of domestic hygiene and ...
