The paper describes the Version 2 of the CO2FIX (CO2FIX V.2) model, a user-friendly tool for dynamically estimating the carbon sequestration potential of forest management, agroforesty and afforestation projects. CO2FIX V.2 is a multi-cohort ecosystem-level model based on carbon accounting of for...

In total 60 plots of approximately 80 trees each (including missing trees) were measured, with ages between 1 and 26 years. The main objective of this study was to develop intensive management scenarios for B. quinata plantations in Costa Rica to ensure high yielding of timber wood. The scenarios...

A qualitative soft system model is proposed in this paper to address the inherent complecity of community-based resource management. The model follows the principles of participatory management where local stakeholders are fully engaged in different phases and stages of planning and decision maki...

Forest certification remains an important requirement in working towards sustainable forest management. The Indonesian Eco-labeling Institute (LEI) was a foundation, which had developed a certification system and accredited certification bodies in Indonesia. However, there has been a call for LEI...
A set of dominant height equations based on the Chapman-Richards and Hossfeld models were fitted to data from even-aged plantations of Terminalia amazonia in Costa Rica. The equations were classified as dynamic or algebraic difference equations, defined as expected mean value structures and fitte...

In the present study, prediction equations for biomass were generated from easily measurable parameters such as diameter at breast height (dbh) and total height. Cross validation was carried out between two localities to test whether equations developed for one locality could be used for other lo...

Land and water degradation due to on-site soil/nutrient loss and off-site pollution/sedimentation are serious environmental problems. Landscape planning and management tools are essential to implement best management practices targeted at locations where they are needed most. Although many soil/w...

Wastewater irrigation is a common livelihood practice in many parts of the developing world. With the continuous irrigation supply, groundwater systems in these regions perceive adverse impacts due to inadequate infrastructure to treat the wastewater. The current study area, Musi River irrigation...

Low-impact development (LID) comprises a broad spectrum of stormwater management technologies for mitigating the impacts of urbanization on hydrological processes. Among these technologies, green roofs are one of the most adopted solutions, especially in densely populated metropolitan areas, wher...
