Retention forestry now sparing trees and benefitting biodiversity worldwide
The management practice known as retention forestry, which involves deliberately leaving selected trees standing when wood is harvested, has spread to forests over much of the world and is bringing broad benefits to conservation. View More (2012-06-12)
Suggestions for a middle ground between unlogged forest and intensively managed lands
It is increasingly recognized that protected areas alone are not sufficient for successful biodiversity conservation, and that management of production areas (e.g. forestry and agricultural land) plays a crucial role in that respect. View More (2013-03-19)
Forest access roads affect walleye populations in northern Ontario lakes
Forestry access roads can have undesirable outcomes on fish populations living in remote lakes due to increased access, reveals research written by Len Hunt and Nigel Lester of the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources, recently published in the journal North American Journal of Fisheries Management.

Energy consumption makes Spanish forestry unsustainable
Spain is one of the leading European countries, along with Sweden, in terms of wood production for paper paste, but this uses large amounts of energy. View More (2009-09-11)
Perceptions of Forestry Students Change through Years of Study
A study of undergraduates in a five-year Brazilian forestry program finds that what students perceive as important change as they progress through program. These differences suggest ways to improve forestry curriculum and create more attractive forestry programs to reverse the global decline in forestry student enrolment. View More (2010-06-01)
New CD-ROM resource contributes to sustainable management of the world’s forests
CAB International is pleased to announce the launch of the Forestry Compendium Global Module. Truly global in concept as well as content, this unique product is the result of worldwide collaboration of the major organizations involved with forestry species. Produced with the collaboration of project partners CABI, CIFOR, PROSEA, OFI and ICRAF, and resourced by Development Consortium members:... View More (2000-08-04)
Rebuilding flood plains, agriculture, economy
When the Missouri River flooded in 1993 and 1995, it left a deep layer of sandy silt that covered thousands of acres of rich farmland. Now, MU forestry researchers may have found a crop that can survive a flood and act as a sustainable source of biomass. View More (2010-08-03)
Winds of Change May Influence Insurance and Forestry in Industries
The impacts of extreme events, such as windstorms, on the insurance and forestry industries is to be investigated in a new Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research project, which also aims to shed light on the likely occurrence of future high winds due to global warming. Windstorms have important implications for the whole European economy, particularly in forestry and insurance, according to... View More (2001-02-01)
Plants' response to fire tested
A team from the National Institute for Agricultural and Food Research and Technology (INIA) has developed a new method for identifying the flammability of plant species by using a device that measures how construction materials react to fire. View More (2009-09-25)
Yale journal examines the global impact of cities
The global impact of cities is the focus of cutting-edge research in a special issue of Yale's Journal of Industrial Ecology. View More (2007-06-18)
Climatic change and environmental functions of forests
The situation in Navarre with regard to climatic change is one of concern given that gas emissions from the greenhouse effect are even greater than the average in Spain (45%). View More (2006-05-03)
Wireless sensor network monitors microclimate in the forest
During a forest monitoring operation, forestry scientists measure various environmental values. View More (2011-05-20)
Tennessee's Urban Forests Valued in the Billions
Tennessee's urban forests, currently valued at about $80 billion, also provide almost $650 million in benefits such as carbon storage, pollution removal, and energy reduction according to a new U.S. Forest Service report. View More (2012-03-15)
UGA forest genetics researcher leads effort to sequence and catalog conifer genes for future biofuels research
Jeffrey Dean, professor of forest biotechnology in the University of Georgia Warnell School of Forestry and Natural Resources, is spearheading a project at the U.S. Department of Energy's Joint Genome Institute (JGI) that will greatly expand the gene catalog for pines and initiate the first gene discovery efforts in five other conifer families.

ESA providing Kyoto estimates of French Guiana's tropical forests
ESA is providing data from its Earth observation satellites to monitor the tropical forests in French Guiana and help the French government meet its obligations under the international Kyoto Protocol agreement on global warming. Like all the so-called "Annex I" signatories to the Kyoto Protocol, France is required to measure and reduce its overall greenhouse gas emissions. But France... View More (2003-06-05)
Workers in the entertainment sector five times as likely to have occupational asthma
People working in the entertainment sector run five times the risk of workplace asthma, reveals research in Occupational and Environmental Medicine. US researchers analysed responses to a nationwide survey on health and nutrition, conducted between 1988 and 1994 (NHANES III). Some 6,827 employees were asked about symptoms of asthma and wheezing in the previous 12 months that were related to work.... View More (2002-07-30)
Yale study: Most polluted ecosystems recoverable
Most polluted or damaged ecosystems worldwide can recover within a lifetime if societies commit to their cleanup or restoration, according to an analysis of 240 independent studies by researchers at the Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies. View More (2009-05-28)
Forests Could Benefit When Fall Color Comes Late
Do those fall colors seem to show up later and later-if at all? Scientists say we can blame increasing amounts of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere for prolonging the growing season of the trees. And that may actually be good news for forestry industries. View More (2008-01-23)
Ancient Oak Trees Help Reduce Global Warming, MU Study Finds
The battle to reduce carbon emissions is at the heart of many eco-friendly efforts, and researchers from the University of Missouri have discovered that nature has been lending a hand. Researchers at the Missouri Tree Ring Laboratory in the Department of Forestry discovered that trees submerged in freshwater aquatic systems store carbon for thousands of years, a significantly longer period of...

America's national forests landlocked by sea of development
America's national forests are beginning to resemble "islands" of green wilderness, increasingly trapped by an expanding sea of new houses, a forestry researcher will report today at the 90th annual Ecological Society of America (ESA) meeting in Montreal, Canada. View More (2005-08-08)
