Small-scale projects to promote forest biodiversity and encourage conservation are underway, too.
On the other hand changes in climate patters might promote forest growth.
The researchers say their findings provide support for policies that minimize forest loss and promote forest restoration.
Where forests are at the edge of their bio-geographical distribution, temperature rise may lead to increased tree mortality, especially in southern and central Europe [ 6- 8] On the other hand changes in climate patters might promote forest growth.
The results suggest that landowner education designed to foster peer learning and relationship building between landowners, foresters, loggers, and other groups may promote adoption of sustainable forest management practices.
Previous studies have found that high structural diversity in exurban areas (e.g., mix of forest, ornamental shrubbery, lawns, and urban areas) may promote higher bird diversity [29].
Specific land use practice such as ploughing, harrowing and liming (in agricultural sites) may promote rapid microbiological breakdown of the lower chlorinated dioxins and furans in comparison to forest top soil contents.
Forest floor thickness may be limited by avoiding interventions that open the canopy and may promote the presence of Sphagnum spp. and ericaceous spp., and or by practicing mixed silviculture of trembling aspen and black spruce.
Although wildfires may promote the regeneration of fire-adapted species, severe wildfires may cause temporary or permanent shifts in the structure or composition of forest communities [32, 35 37].
