Forest inventories serve as a primary source for above-ground biomass and carbon stock estimations. These inventories, however, are costly and time-consuming especially over large areas with difficult terrain. Multiple remote sensing techniques can facilitate forest inventories with above-ground biomass …

PowerPoint presentation used at the 6th International Conference of Indonesia Forestry Researchers - Stream 2 Managing Forest and Natural Resources, Meeting Sustainable and Friendly Use 7-8 September 2021, Bogor, Indonesia.

Peat swamp forests in Southeast Asia are under heavy pressure. Deforestation, forest degradation, wildfires, and drainage have damaged or destroyed substantial areas of the once extensive peat swamp forest formations. Several efforts are underway to rehabilitate degraded peat forests areas in order to …

In recent years, the importance of sustaining social innovation initiatives, once initiated, has gained increasing attention and, in particular, the role that design(ers) can play in this process. However, both the academic study and the practice of design and social innovation are currently lacking …

Tropical forests are under serious pressure and deforestation and forest degradation are taking their toll. The mixed dipterocarp forests of Sarawak are no exception. The importance of sustainable forest management is evident and growth models are a convenient tool to help in determining sustainable …

In this article, we assess the potential of alternative land use systems using non-drainage peatland species which could eventually phase out or partly replace oil palm plantations on undrainable peatlands. We have used the ecosystem services approach to analyse what scenarios using drainage-free peatland …

Volgens bronnen uit de literatuur kan het gebruik van positieve bekrachtiging een positief effect hebben op de hoeveelheid prosociaal gedrag die leerlingen in een klas laten zien. Daarnaast heeft de hoeveelheid prosociaal gedrag binnen een klas ook invloed op de sociale cohesie van de klas. Sociale cohesie …

This report is part of a collaborated study initiated by the SEnSOR programme to assess each of the compartments of aboveground carbon (AGC) stocks in fragmented lowland dipterocarp forests in Sabah. The biomass and carbon contents of living trees and coarse woody debris, lianas, fine woody debris (FWD) …

The number of primary rainforests in South-East Asia is in rapid decline since many formerly continuous forests become splintered as a result of human activities like mining, agriculture and silviculture. This study examined the effects of forest fragment size and logging on the tree carbon stocks and …

There is a need for scientific research to support sustainable management of remaining forests located within palm oil plantations. As lianas have a significant impact on species diversity, structure and dynamics, they are an important element in tropical forests. This study examined liana carbon stock, …
