Each year, U.S. forests grow approximately two times more tree volume than is harvested, with a net average annual increase in growing stock of about 25 billion cubic feet. Learn More: https://lnkd.in/dXeBZ9z #forestmanagement #paperfacts #forestland

Today is the International Day of Forests! 🌲 According to the United Nations, approximately 70 million hectares of forest are affected by wildfires annually. What pollutants do they emit, and what impact do they have on human health and well-being? Find out in a new #AGUPubs book: http://lite.spr.ly/6006aiu #ForestDay #wildfires 📸: E4C/Getty Images

#Higly Cited Paper 👀 Wildfires vs. Sustainable Forest Partitioning 👉 https://lnkd.in/gq754zPt 👈 National Technical University of Athens #Forests are admirable and complex natural #ecosystems, and #fires, albeit devastating, can be attributed to both human activity and to natural processes that contribute to their rebirth, with the latter constituting an intrinsic and perpetual process of the forest ecosystem. Other than their important ecological value, forests are, in the 21st century, also a capital resource, for many people’s livelihoods depend on them. In this study, Dr. G.-Fivos Sargentis et al. proposed a method for taking mitigation measures against wildfires based on the partitioning of forests, considering both the protection of the ecosystem and the inhabitants and aiming to utilize their co-dependent nature for the general protection and preservation of forests. As a case study, they analyzed the current devastating fire in Euboea (occurred in August 2021), initially in terms of the spatio-temporal progression of the actual wildfire that lasted several days and then by examining how an implementation of the proposed method in the study area could contribute to both the recovery of the ecosystem and the enhancement of the quality of life of the #inhabitants as well as their long-term #protection.
Did you know that active #ForestManagement is an important part of reducing the impacts of #ClimateChange? A recent article from Healthy Forests, Healthy Communities shared some of the risks of improperly maintaining forests. While some may think that the best way to maintain and manage forests is to take a hand’s off approach, to leave the forests and not interfere with the natural processes. However, as we’re learning, the forests need help and support. Engaging in forest management techniques such as forest thinning can reduce the risks of uncontrollable #WildFire, as well as reduce the strain on local water tables. Overall, this once again brings us to highlight the importance of working with Indigenous tribes on forest management. The “old ways” of conducting controlled “cultural burns” help keep forests healthy. If you want to learn more about how Indigenous tribes can help support forest management while maintaining their cultural activities, check out this video from the California OEHHA: https://lnkd.in/gUj9wJPN For a more in-depth look, you can view the full OEHHA report here: https://lnkd.in/gNDhd6NA Read the full article from Healthy Forests here: https://lnkd.in/gYPsWTQD
American Forest & Paper Association this is fantastic news that needs to be shared. How many people in the general public realize a Billion trees are planted each year. Most companies plant 2 trees for each tree taken, to account for natural losses and to replace approximately 1.25 trees or expected 25% growth in the forest of the future. #education #Forestryindustry #pulpandpaper #environmentalsustainability
Did you know U.S. forests are strong and stable? In fact, more than 1 billion trees are planted each year.
