States are usually critical actors in this type of forest recovery because they create forestation programs in response to forest scarcities.
"This type of forest relied on frequent small fires to clear out the understory and allow new trees to grow.
Most of this activity would, of course, occur in non-native coniferous forest as this type of forest predominates.
This type of forest management is intensive in the use of agrochemicals (fertilisers, herbicides) and operations (agrochemical applications, soil preparation) during the establishment phase.
This study showed that there is a relative improvement in precision of ALS-assisted AGB estimation, compared to pure field-based estimation up to around 3000 m2 in this type of forest.
Based on our findings, there is larger potential of gaining efficiency of using ALS data in this type of forest when the field plot size is larger than 1200 m2.
We explored SDTF cover in the state of Veracruz, Mexico, where little is known about this type of forest since it was erroneously considered to have been eliminated and thus has not be included in recent conservation planning in Mexico.
Although more time may be required for some bird species to respond to treatments, our results suggest that treatment plot sizes were either too small to affect bird communities or that the forest type selected for treatment was not within the range of forest types that are well suited for this type of forest restoration.
In this type of forest, pitch pine, scrub oak, black oak and chestnut oak are the main trees.
This study showed that there is a relative improvement in precision of ALS-assisted AGB estimation, compared to pure field-based estimation up to around 3000 m in this type of forest.
Based on our findings, there is larger potential of gaining efficiency of using ALS data in this type of forest when the field plot size is larger than 1200 m.
