In contrast, such aging is almost entirely induced by the periodic high-temperature events, such as those related to various system regeneration regimes.
Future changes in disturbance or regeneration regimes also have the potential to affect forest C balance in addition to the use of bioenergy for electricity generation.
However, changes in future wildfire and regeneration regimes may affect forest carbon balance and these climate-induced changes may influence forest carbon balance as much, or more, than bioenergy production.
This research evaluates the effects of reforestation pathways (planting vs. natural regeneration), management regimes (long-term low harvest intensities at varied harvest frequencies), and stand development trajectories on biomass outcomes and late-successional habitat.
These cells are becoming increasingly easy to harvest as the knowledge base increases and offer, in the not too distant future, a minimally invasive therapeutic regime towards regeneration rather than stabilization.
The aim of the management is a continuous-cover forestry regime, with natural regeneration under shelter, to minimize the expenditure for regeneration.
This could be the collapse of the newly established villages following the downfall of the socialist regime and vegetation regeneration in areas that were under intense pressure by local community.
This has created demands to modify current forest management regimes, in particular regeneration practices.
The objective of this study was to understand how variability in fire regimes influences forest regeneration and recruitment patterns and wildlife activity at large temporal and spatial scales.
We evaluated how biomass trends and oak regeneration were related to management regimes, land-use history, current stand structure and composition, and topoedaphic factors.
A stand-replacing fire regime, however, may support regeneration of birch because of its re-sprouting capacity, which is a common strategy of fire resistant plants (Pausas and Verdu 2005).
