In this study we simulated the long-term effects of set-aside establishment and tree retention practices on the future availability of large trees and dead wood, two forest structures of documented importance to biodiversity conservation.
But instead of a peaceful retirement, he has found himself spending most of his time defending the trees he has come to love, hiking out to the far reaches of the forest to document the beetle infestation.
Overall skidder traffic was estimated on the basis of a thorough analysis of State Forests documents, including legal acts, guidelines, management plans, detailed databases and maps of planned cuts.
Estimation of timber removals from private lands based on scrutiny of documents, including transport permits issued by Divisional Secretaries and Range Forest Officers.
Oak regeneration failure in the hardwood forests of eastern North America has been well documented.
We address this challenge by proposing to account the forest sink mitigation as deviation from a projected "forest reference level" (FRL) estimated assuming the "continuation of documented historical forest management practice".
In the Sino-Forest case, he and his team of lawyers and private investigators spent two months poring over 10,000 pages of documents.
We have documented the severe decline of forests of canopy-forming Fucoid algae along the coasts of Monte Conero.
As a consequence, we propose that forest reference levels are projected assuming the business-as-usual "continuation of documented historical forest management practice".
There remain regions of Central America such as the flooded forests of the Moskitia in Honduras and Nicaragua where the diversity of freshwater cichlids has not been extensively documented [ 23].
Instead, here we describe an approach to set reference levels based on the projected continuation of documented historical forest management practice, i.e. reflecting age-related dynamics but not the future impact of policies.
