Towards more flexible and improved European Forest Information and its governance structures Open
Increasing pressures on forests in Europe are accompanied by a rapidly growing number of forest-related policy targets from the European Union (e.g. halting biodiversity loss and protecting 30% of the land, restoring 20% of EU land) as par…

Bitemporal aerial laser scans as an alternative to site index estimation: A case study in the Bohemian Switzerland National Park Open
In this work, we present a study about the application of bi-temporal, large interval aerial laser scans for constructing of tree growth models and estimating site index quality based on the measured increments from the laser scans. We com…

Future forest fires as functions of climate change and attack time for central Bohemian region, Czech Republic Open
This paper presents a new analysis of how global warming may affect the size of forest fires through its effects on air temperature, relative humidity, and wind speed. The effects of attack time on the size of the final burned area were al…

Forest Management of Pinus pinaster Ait. in Unbalanced Forest Structures Arising from Disturbances—A Framework Proposal of Decision Support Systems (DSS) Open
Forests assume a great socioeconomic and environmental importance, requiring good management decisions to value and care for these natural resources. In Portugal, forest land use accounts for 34.5% of the continental area. The softwood spe…

The effect of road networks on the forest wildfires ‘size Open
<p>Forest roads are crucial to forest conservation. They can be perfect barriers against forest wildfires if they maintained appropriately and firefighting equipment were provided. This paper discusses the effect of forest roads in c…

Optimizing the Tending of Forest Stands with Interactive Decision Maps to Balance the Financial Incomes and Ecological Risks according to Owner Demands: Case Study in Rakovník, the Czech Republic Open
Sustainability and the optimal provision of the various ecosystem services is an essential task in forest management. In this study, we deal with the optimization of forest tending to achieve the maximal long-term provision of financial in…

Predict potential risk of bark beetle disturbance applying Bayesian Belief Networks Open
<p>In recent years, due to climate and environmental change, most forest areas suffer from land degradation, mainly caused by the bark beetle disturbance which damaged many tree species. The complex multiple interactions between clim…

Dynamics of Fagus sylvatica L. Necrotizationunder Different Pollutant Load Conditions Open
The potential impact of acidic fluorine type of pollutants on the dynamics of European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) stem bark and crown disease was investigated between 2004 (2007) and 2014 in three mature beech stands in Central Europe.The …

Decision Support Approaches in Adaptive Forest Management Open
Climate and social changes place strong demands on forest managers. Forest managers need powerful approaches and tools, which could help them to be able to react to the rapidly changing conditions. However, the complexity of quantifying fo…

The Impact of Assumed Uncertainty on Long-Term Decisions in Forest Spatial Harvest Scheduling as a Part of Sustainable Development Open
The paper shows how the aspects of uncertainty in spatial harvest scheduling can be embedded into a harvest optimization model. We introduce an approach based on robust optimization that secures better scheduling schematics of the decision…

Spatial considerations of an area restriction model for identifying harvest blocks at commercial forest plantations Open
In the past few decades, ecological and environmental issues have dominated the forest industry worldwide, but economic aspects have been much less studied in this dynamic period. However, a sustainable and efficient forest biomass supply …

Time Efficiency of Selected Types of Adjacency Constraints in Solving Unit Restriction Models Open
Spatial restrictions of harvesting have been extensively studied due to a number of environmental, social and legal regulations. Many spatial restrictions are defined by adjacency constraints, for which a number of algorithms have been dev…
