The AA. present a new stratigraphic (pollen and nonpollen microfossils and charcoal particle) sequence with 5 AMS dates, covering about the last 9000 yr, of a core collected from the Spanish northern meseta, in a region known as Tierra de Pinares
. The results support the hypothesis of the permanence of the pine forests, in more or less pure masses or large timber stands, during the Holocene in some Iberian continental zones. The results also contribute to the settling of an old controversy in relation

In this study, we examine land use changes in border regions of Czechia during last 160 years. We focused on five most important and interesting land use categories - arable land, meadows and pastures, forested areas and built-up areas. Border

This study analyses large wood (LW) storage and the associated effects on channel morphology and flow hydraulics in three third-order mountain basins covered in old-growth Nothofagus forests, ranging from the temperate warm Chilean Andean Cordillera
to the sub-Antarctic Tierra del Fuego (Argentina). Amount, characteristics and dimensions of large wood were recorded, as well as their effects on stream morphology, hydraulics and sediment storage. Results show that major differences in LW abundance exist

This article discusses the emergence of road networks and forest fragmentation in Central Amazônia. It implements a mixed-method approach including (1) field-based narratives of the social processes that gave rise to radial fragmentation
An interdisciplinary assessment of the conservation practices on forest soils in Mexico was conducted (1) to evaluate their effectiveness in terms of soil quality indicators and (2) to use social indicators of their acceptance and execution. After 4

This paper discusses the current issues and future prospects of the agricultural reform in Lithuania. It analyzes the restoration of ownership rights to farmland, forests and water bodies, and distribution of State-owned farmland. The paper
overviews the progress in the completion of formal requirements for the transfer of property rights in households. The author evaluates the successive phase of the reform in which State-owned farmland and forests will be sold to private owners. The paper
The AA. consider the role played by forest struggles and forest intellectuals in the rewriting of India's forest policies. They also evaluate the utility of a moral economy framework in guiding joint forest management policies. They draw on village
-level fieldwork to highlight the value of an approach to the management of Degraded Protected Forests that offer a key role to active and informed forest citizens.

The article presents methodology of defining forest fragmentation on raster data. Eight indices (forest proportion, forest continuity, moderated weighted forest area, edge zone proportion, average forest depth, average forest dismemberment, average
distance from the forest, average forest isolation) quantitatively define forest dismemberment, fragmentation respectively forest disintegration stage. Presented methodology is partly adopted, further modified and adapted to Slovenian conditions. - (IKR)
Ecological studies of mixed forests in Nopporo National Forest, Central Hokkaido, Japan. Relations between the distribution of aged forests and environmental factors
In Nopporo National Forest, thirteen forest communities which were determined by dominant species and three soil types were observed. - (SGA)
The impact of forest canopy structure on deposition amounts was studied by extensive throughfall monitoring in thirty different forest stands in the Netherlands. It is concluded that emission reductions on a regional and (inter)national scale level

The intent to create Forest Promotional Complex (FPC) was introducing a new quality to Polish forestry – by taking into account social preference for forests, by embracing local community needs, by compromising forest production with nature
protection and to introduce the rules of sustainable and balanced forest development. Main subject of this study is a dead wood and its ecological functions in managed forests and chosen FPC reserves. The problem of naturalization or ecologisation of forest
