This study assesses the potential impacts of Payment for Ecosystems Services (PES) of mountain agricultural landscapes, with a specific focus on the implications for Nepalese farming women, who have triple roles (managers, workers, and users) with ecosystems goods and services (ESs). It utilizes data of mixed sources: direct observations in the fie...
This study collected data from forest user groups from Baglung and examined the distribution rules determining the selection of open periods for the distribution of Community Forestry (CF) products. The regression analysis results showed that there were Powerful actor (Powerful actor referred to rich, and elite caste households for this research) i...
The seasonal patterns of initiation of fine root tip and fine root elongation were studied for a period of 12 months for two genotypes of Pinus radiata (D. Don) planted with and without lucerne understorey, using rhizotron boxes. Periodic in situ growth of coarse root (52 mm diameter) diameter was also recorded over the same period. The maximum rat...
Understanding the dynamics and distribution of root system components and how they are affected by pasture–tree interactions in silvopastoral systems are important for better management of agroforestry systems. The biomass and morphology of coarse root components were studied for 3- and 4-year-old Pinus radiata clonal and seedling trees growing wit...
First order lateral roots (henceforth lateral roots) provide mechanical support to trees and are essential links to the fine roots that compete with roots of understorey plants. This paper examines a number of lateral root characteristics of three radiata pine (Pinus radiata D. Don) genotypes at age three years in an agroforestry experiment at the...
In designing agroforestry systems, the combination of tree genotype (orspecies) and pasture species and the spatial arrangement
of trees are importantconsiderations. The spatial variation of fine root length density (FRLD) ofthree radiata pine (Pinus radiata D. Don) genotypes,referred to here as clone 3, clone 4 and seedlings, was studied in athree...
Qualitative characteristics of coarse root components, i.e., core distortion, lateral root distribution and dominance of vertical roots, and the relationship between tree root characteristics and toppling were studied using Mason's root core, Menzies' lateral root, and modified Menzies' vertical root scoring methods on three planting material types...
Fine root length density and coarse root biomass and architecture of tissue cultured clonal and seedling planting materials of Pinus radiata D.Don was estimated in an agroforestry system with understorey treatments (no understorey, Medicago sativa, and Lolium perenne + white clover) at the Lincoln University agroforestry experiment site, New Zealan...
Our research documents seven case studies from Asia, Europe and North America evaluating what determines the successes and challenges facing community forestry. We collected as much as information as possible on each case study in order to explore the issues in detail. However, due to the limited availability of documented information on many of th...
Improving livelihood support in lessening rural poverty along with degraded hill environmental restoration on highly populated lower and mid hills are highly prioritised in the current five year plan of Nepal. To achieve the above national goal, the government of Nepal has launched its Hills Leasehold Forestry and Fodder Development Project with as...

Questions
Questions (6)
For timber production in forestry plantation, what is the best planting density for Juglans regia and J. nigra (Black walnut) for minimising lateral branch growth. In the UK forestry, this species is relatively newer in forestry for timber production. Your comprehensive reply will be very much appreciated.
For under canopy planting, what is the standard minimum requirement of light quantity reaching through created gaps for the early growth of understory species; I do understand that the light quantity may differ with underplating species? This will help me to create right size opening for encourage natural regeneration or create a room for underplanting with minimum disturbance in an ecological sensitive area.
I can anticipate that there will be surplus seedlings which need to be stored in cold room for about 4 months, before next planting season. For how long can I store broad leaved (Peduncle oak, Sessile oak and beech) and conifer species (Norway spruce, Sitka spruce, Scots pine and Douglas fir) and what would be the best temperature for it. Do I need to maintain humidity as well?
Please would you suggest relevent publications?
Please would anyone can advise me on respacing methods, tools, equipment and budget, i.e. / cost per ha for second rotation self-regeneration Sitka spruce. We have thousands ha of self-regenerated sites. Thank you.
I wonder if anyone can suggest books on (a) nature conservation and or biodiversity in China (b) Forest ecology, China and (c) Silvics /silviculture of Chinese species, written in English.
