Climate change mitigation from increased paper recycling in Sweden: conserving forests or utilizing substitution?
Published in Environmental Research Communications
Climate change mitigation by increased paper recycling can alleviate the two-sided pressure on the Swedish forest sector: supplying growing demands for wood-based products and increasing the forest carbon sink. This study assesses two scenarios for making use of a reduced demand for primary pulp resulting from an increased paper recycling rate in S...
Damage to tropical forests caused by cyclones is driven by wind speed but mediated by topographical exposure and tree ch...
...
Each year, an average of 45 tropical cyclones affect coastal areas and potentially impact forests. The proportion of the most intense cyclones has increased over the past four decades and is predicted to continue to do so. Yet, it remains uncertain how topographical exposure and tree characteristics can mediate the damage caused by increasing wind ...
Bornean tropical forests recovering from logging at risk of regeneration failure
...
Active restoration through silvicultural treatments (enrichment planting, cutting climbers and liberation thinning) is considered an important intervention in logged forests. However, its ability to enhance regeneration is key for long-term recovery of logged forests, which remains poorly understood, particularly for the production and survival of ...
Drone microrelief analysis to predict the presence of naturally regenerated seedlings
Published in Frontiers in Forests and Global Change
Three-dimensional (3D) mapping and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are essential components of the future development of forestry technology. Regeneration of forest stands must be ensured according to the law in the required quality and species composition. Forest management focuses on the optimization of economic costs and quality-assured seedling...
Eroded Trust & Neglected Perspectives : Swedish Individual Forest Owners' Attitudes Towards Protecting Woodland Habitats...
Maintaining biodiversity is crucial to preserving ecosystems that sustain life on our planet. In Sweden, a legal grey area currently exists for the protection and registration of woodland key habitats. Key habitats have been identified and protected in Sweden since the early 1990s in order to support biodiversity. In December 2021, the Swedish Fore...
Circular Furniture Management in Swedish Regional Counties : Challenges, Opportunities, and the Potential of Wooden Furn...
This study investigated the current handling of furniture in Sweden's 21regional counties, focusing on circular strategies. The aim was to identifyobstacles and opportunities for improving sustainability through circularfurniture management. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combiningsurveys and focus group interviews with managers responsible...
Relating estimates of wood properties of birch to stem form, age and species
Birch has long suffered from a lack of active forest management, leading many researchers to use material without a detailed management history. Data collected from three birch (Betula pendula Roth, B. pubescens Ehrh.) sites in southern Sweden were analyzed using regression analysis to detect any trends or differences in wood properties that could ...
Vision-based planting position selection system for an unmanned reforestation machine
Research on automated seedling planting systems in forestry is a crucial aspect of forestry automation. This paper introduces the development of a vision-based automated seedling planting position selection system, integrated with hardware and software components on an unmanned forest machine platform. Developed around object detection as the core,...
