Coping with the long term : an empirical analysis of time perspectives, time orientations, and temporal uncertainty in f...
Uncertainty is an unavoidable fact of every decision. In forestry, the problem of uncertainty is, however, exacerbated by the long time horizons involved. Rotation periods for oak and beech, for example, are up to 150-200 years. And even spruce, which is considered to be a fast-growing tree species, has rotation periods of 40-80 years before it is ...

De rol van doodhoutspots voor de biodiversiteit van het bos : veldonderzoek naar de rol van doodhoutspots bij de vestigi...
Ecologisch gezond bos wordt door de overheid gestimuleerd via de Subsidieregeling Natuurbeheer. Uit een voorgaande studie bleek dat vooral zeldzame soorten van zeer oud, dik dood hout naar verwachting onvoldoende profiteren van deze regeling. De vraag waarop in dit rapport een antwoord wordt gezocht is, of speciale aandacht voor dik, dood hout deze...
