Remotely sensed imagery plays a crucial role in analyzing and monitoring land cover and urban growth. The accuracy and applicability of European CORINE Land Cover (CLC) maps in Land Use and Land Cover (LULC) monitoring across European regions, especially at local scales, have been critiqued and remain limited due to temporal methodological variatio...
Forest degradation and deforestation in the rural uplands of the Philippines threaten biodiversity, ecological functions, and local livelihoods. To address these issues, various Forest and Landscape Restoration (FLR) initiatives have been introduced, including Assisted Natural Regeneration (ANR)—a set of low-cost interventions aimed at accelerating...
The concept of tree or stem form has been central to forest research for over a century, playing a vital role in accurately assessing tree growth, volume, and biomass. The form factor is an essential component for expressing the shape of a tree, enabling more accurate volume estimation, which is vital for sustainable forest management and planning....
On-farm tree planting is recommended to enhance agricultural productivity while promoting ecological conservation and providing socio-economic benefits. However, limited studies distinguish this practice from other agroforestry methods, particularly in evaluating its adoption, benefits, and constraints. This study assessed farmers’ perceptions of o...
Assisted Natural Regeneration (ANR) is a set of restoration strategies and interventions primarily based on natural regeneration, aimed at accelerating succession and providing multiple benefits in degraded ecosystems and landscapes. These strategies have the potential to significantly contribute to global Forest and Landscape Restoration efforts....
Campuses of Nigerian universities, especially the older ones, are home to aged trees that were originally planted for environmental beautification and aesthetics. However, due to the current global climate change and increased vulnerability to abiotic and biotic stressors, the old trees could pose threats to pedestrians, structures, and roads withi...
Despite timber marketing’s income potential, income disparities exist among marketers in Bodija sawn wood market, and the impact of socio-cultural factors on income generation is unclear. This study was designed to assess socio-cultural determinants affecting income from timber marketing in Bodija sawn wood market. One hundred copies of structured...
Assisted Natural Regeneration (ANR) is a spectrum of restoration approaches that seek to accelerate successional processes, enhance ecosystem recovery, and facilitate the growth and survival of naturally regenerated trees, where they would have otherwise been impeded. This brief discusses possible concerns related to the suitability and applicabili...
Trading of non-timber forest products (NTFPs) at local level in Nigeria is mostly undocumented, leading to a lacuna of knowledge about their potentials. To address this knowledge gap, 125 NTFP traders were randomly sampled from five markets in Akure metropolis, Nigeria, to evaluate the potential and challenges of marketing NTFPs to improve their va...
Deadwood plays a vital role in biomass storage and carbon cycling, contributing to climate change mitigation. However, there is a lack of quantitative data on deadwood biomass within the landscape of the Federal College of Forest Resources Management (FCFRM), Ishiagu, Nigeria. This study employed a systematic sampling technique, involving grid supe...
Private forests with conservation priority such as Abayomi Farm Estate (AFE) Emerald forest reserve, Nigeria can significantly contribute to the global carbon cycle while enhancing sustainable livelihoods. However, little consideration is given to accounting for their biomass pools and carbon sequestration. This study, therefore, developed models f...
One of the critical issues confronting forest sustainability is inadequate education about the need and actions to sustain these vital ecosystems. Notwithstanding, forestry education attracts low levels of interest and enrollment in Nigeria and globally. Unlike in public secondary schools, information on the perception and willingness toward forest...
Land cover change has posed signifcant concerns to biodiversity and climate change in Bangladesh and globally. Despite the country’s designation of forest regions as protected areas to conserve their valuable resources, deforestation and forest conversion remained unabated. Fashiakhali Wildlife Sanctuary (FKWS), a protected area in the Chittagong H...
Efficient urban forest management is becoming increasingly important in cities across the world due to rapid environmental change, increasing population growth and rising demand for urban forest services. Urban forests provide many ecosystem services, including carbon sequestration, surface temperature reduction, soil and water quality improvement,...
Forestry education in Nigeria, as it is globally, is faced with several drawbacks despite the urgent need to train more professionals who can tackle the increasing issues related to forestry. One of these concerns is the reducing interest in academic forestry programs evident by low enrolment rates. However, forestry education still pools relativel...
The global efforts to restore tropical forests and their productive and ecological functions through plantation forestry largely depend on the available genetic variation in the tree species used to establish the plantations. However, there is limited information on the levels and trends of the genetic variation and variability of different plantat...
The rate of forest degradation and deforestation in Nigeria has been increasing over the years and is prominent in the southwestern parts. Despite the significant change and degradation observed in a lowland rainforest in the region-Ogbese Forest Reserve, there is a great dearth of information about the level of forest cover change. Therefore, this...
Rural communities around Akure forest reserve depend mostly on forest and its products for their livelihoods, which results in its high rate of deforestation. Meanwhile, the Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation programme (REDD+), one of the international forest-governance initiatives to address sustainable forest management...
