Sentence examples for resilient forest from inspiring English sources

This resilient forest provides shelter for the Telfair skink, a rather bold and curious lizard the size of a squirrel, and the exceptionally rare Mauritius fody, a red-headed finch that is for some reason known locally as "Colins".

Its destruction by the beetle is a natural process that creates a more resilient forest: in areas where spruce does not regenerate, it will be quickly replaced by species – such as hornbeam and lime – better suited to these environmental conditions.

Key synergies between renewable energy, carbon marketing and forest development are identified alongside perceptions of resilient forest types.

Research on the impact of climate factors on tree growth and disturbances can provide scientific information for developing climate and disturbance resilient forest management practices in Mongolia.

Fine-scale studies on how topography (gradient, slope and aspect) trigger the effectiveness of climate factors and disturbances (e.g. fire) and therefore influence the response of tree growth may be beneficial for the development of planning alternatives for climate resilient forest management practices.

Similarly, a resilient forest ecosystem would quickly re-establish plant cover following a major forest fire, with negligible loss of soils or fertility (Joyce and others 2008).

"Today, we are learning to use timber harvest as a tool to help restore healthier, more diverse, and more resilient forests -- not simply to supply wood for society," Mr. Dombeck said in his policy address, at Duke University, in Durham, N.C.

We analyzed the impact of amenity and biodiversity protection as mandated in national forest plans on the implementation of hazardous fuel reduction treatments aimed at protecting the wildland urban interface (WUI) and restoring fire resilient forests.

Our study suggests that the optimum gap size does not exist and using harvest gaps to create resilient forests with structural and compositional diversity alone is challenging on productive habitats.

Coinciding factors of high fuel continuity and fuel loading, projected lengthening of the fire season, and increased variability in seasonal precipitation suggest that large high-severity fires, especially in mixed-conifer forests, will become the predominant fire type without aggressive actions to reduce fuel continuity and restore fire-resilient forest structure and species composition.

Thus understanding the relationships between landscape structure and burn severity is important for developing guidelines and management strategies for fire-resilient forests.
