s it possible to manage Sitka spruce using continuous cover silviculture? This is the main question that has been examined in a 42ha Trial Area in Clocaenog Forest, northeast Wales, in a joint project between Forest Research, Natural Resources Wales and Bangor University since 2001. The trial is an example of ‘late transformation’ because it was st...

A project commissioned by the Continuous Cover Forestry Group This bibliography builds on from Sharon Rodhouse and Edward R. Wilson’s two previous bibliographies published in 2006 and 2010 respectively, which compiled research published in the subject area of CCF, (Rodhouse, S., & Wilson, E. R., 2006; 2010). It features a selection of peer reviewe...

The recovery of selectively harvested tropical forests should benefit from a range of management practices referred to as "Reduced Impact Logging (RIL)". Failure to apply these practices is likely to slow recovery as has been observed in various regions of the world including Ghana. Although the Revised Logging Manual for Ghana (LMG) includes some...

Chapter 4 contemplates cross-border theorypractice integration as an evolutionary process. It documents the building of multiregional academic-SME knowledge interplays, which can then be expanded to reciprocal innovation knowledge transfer in a cross-border arena. Through a series of case studies, the authors offer a chronology of the three-year GI...

Anthropogenic activities such as deforestation, land use change and fossil fuel combustion are contributing towards global climatic change, including increases in average global temperatures (Houghton et al., 2001). Temperature change has been shown to be an important factor determining plant distribution and species migration patterns (Li et al.,...
Conference Paper
Full-text available
The need to quantify potential greenhouse gas emission savings from biomass fuels is of increasing importance given the requirements of Council Directive 2009/28/EC (commonly referred to as the Renewable Energy Directive), which requires a saving of greenhouse gas emissions of 60% by 2018 compared to a reference fossil fuel. There is concern that t...
Article
The practice of harvesting forest residues is rapidly increasing due to rising demand for renewable energy. However, major concerns have been raised about the sustainability of this practice and its net impact on productivity, in particular through negative effects on the growth of subsequent tree crops. We measured height, diameter at breast heigh...
