Recent legislation for the restitution of ownership rights to, and subsequent management of, formerly privately owned forests
in postsocialist Bulgaria has focused largely albeit not exclusively on the restored forests from the perspective of timber
production, that is, `forest' equals `harvestable timber resource'. Using ethnographic data collected in rural Rhodope Mountain
communities, this paper presents a local-level perspective on forests and forest use, including the meaning that forests hold
for local residents as a source of non-timber forest products such as mushrooms and medicinal plants, of animal pasture, and
of firewood for household heating and cooking. This local social perspective is then contrasted with the timber-resource focus
of the forestry legislation and subsequent planning for forest use. The scale of forest ownership – in part a function of
the restitution legislation – is also addressed in relation to the practicalities of resource management. Generally, the paper
demonstrates a mismatch between the postsocialist forestry legislation and local practice and conditions with regard to forests
and the natural resources therein.

Snow avalanches represent an undeniable reality in the Southern Carpathians both as a geomorphic process and as a type of
hazard. Before the 1990s, few researchers focused on avalanches in Romania. However, after 1990, avalanches became an increasingly
important topic of Romanian research including research on their management implications. This study focuses on the Făgăraş
massif, a representative mountain unit in the Southern Carpathians that is dominant due to its glacial and periglacial relief,
high altitudes and high occurrence of avalanche hazards. Three main research issues are considered. First, types of avalanches
are delineated along with affected areas of the Balea glacial valley (on the northern slope) and the Capra glacial valley
(on the southern slope) using data from a research centre for snow and avalanche monitoring that was created in the Balea
glacial cirque in 2003. Second, the impact of avalanches on human activities is considered including transportation use of
the Transfăgărăşan Highway that traverses the highest elevations in Romania and winter recreation activities such as skiing,
snowboarding, climbing and hiking. The impacts on forests are also considered. Third, the needs and gaps of avalanche management
are considered, specifically in the Făgăraş massif and also more generally in the mountains of Romania. 相似文献

Approximately 50,000 ha of native ‘ōhi’a (Metrosideros polymorpha) rain forest on the windward side of the island of Hawaii experienced a pronounced dieback of the tree canopy during the
1960s and early 1970's. The forests affected were located between 600 and 1,500 m elevation where the median annual rainfall
was greater than 25000mm. Dieback stands were found on a variety of different substrates ranging from 500–10,000 years in
age. Most of the stands that experiencel dieback had canopy cover greater than 60% prior to 1960.
In 1976 and 1977 we established 43 relevés in dieback and non-dieback forest stands to assess canopy tree vigor, composition
and structure of the vegetation, and to describe substrate characteristics.Metrosideros population structure and tree vigor were resampled for 25 of these relevés in 1982 and 1985–1986. The results of air photo
analysis and ground sampling showed that dieback has not expanded very much within the study area since 1977. However, 5 of
the relevés sampled in 1977 continued to decline in tree canopy vigor between 1977 and 1982 while 2 others showed a slight
recovery in vigor over this same period.
Seedling and sapling regeneration has been extremely vigorous in most of the sites that experienced a breakdown of the canopy
while, in stands with an intact, dense tree canopy no such regeneration occurred. It appears that most of the stands which
experienced canopy dieback have the potential to become closed forest communities again, dominated byMetrosideros. The natural recovery process may be disrupted in some areas due to additional competition for light and nutrients from invading
populations of both native and alien plant species that have become established following canopy dieback. 相似文献

The rapid proliferation of Phragmites australis in North America has challenged resource managers to curb its expansion and reduce the loss of functional tidal marsh. We
investigated whether native plant competition could reduce the ability of Phragmites to invade a tidal marsh, and if plant diversity (species richness, evenness, and composition) altered the competitive outcome.
Immature Phragmites shoots and four native halophytes were transplanted to small but dense field plots (~1,200 shoots m−2) comprising three community structure types (Phragmites alone, Phragmites + 1 native species, and Phragmites + 4 native species). Interspecific competition significantly reduced Phragmites aboveground biomass, shoot length production, density, and survival by approximately 60%. Additionally, plots planted with
greater native diversity contained Phragmites with the lowest growth and survival, potentially indicating diversity-enhanced resource competition. Competition consistently
reduced the growth of Phragmites even under favorable conditions: lack of strong tidal flooding stresses as well as elevated nutrient pools. 相似文献

Snow avalanches affect recreation, transportation, resource industries and property. During the 1990s an average of 12.5 persons per year were killed in avalanches in Canada. The snow avalanche hazard has affected people and facilities in B.C, Alberta, Yukon, NWT, Nunavut, Ontario, Quebec and Newfoundland. Avalanche risk may be voluntary, for example skiing and snowmobiling, or involuntary, for example public transportation corridors. A worst-case avalanche scenario is most likely to occur in the Western Cordillera, resulting from a single large-scale weather pattern, where a cold period resulting in the development of a weak layer in the snowpack is followed by a series of major mid-winter storms. Emergency preparedness for avalanches is most advanced in western Canada. New education and information initiatives in Quebec and Newfoundland are aimed at improving preparedness there. Current research is focused on avalanche forecasting, weather forecasting for avalanche prediction, avalanche failure characteristics, forestry and avalanches and geomorphology and avalanches. An important area of future research is the impact of climate change on avalanches, particularly in northern Canada. 相似文献

At all times natural hazards like torrents or avalanches pose a threat to settlements and infrastructures in the Austrian
Alps. Since 1950 more than 1,600 persons have been killed by avalanches in Austria, which is on average approximately 30 fatalities
per year. In particular, the winter periods 1950/1951 and 1953/1954 stand out with more than 100 fatalities. Those events
led to an increase of avalanche control programmes in the following decades. While from the 1950s to the 1970s emphasis was
placed on permanent measures (technical structures, afforestations, hazard zoning ...) additional programmes such as avalanche
warning and forecasting have supplemented avalanche control measures in the last decades. Current research is focused on avalanche
simulation, risk management and the influence of the forest on avalanche formation. An important area of future research is
to develop improved methods for avalanche forecasting and to intensify the investigation of the dynamics of avalanches. 相似文献

Mountain Protection Forests against Natural Hazards and Risks: New French Developments by Integrating Forests in Risk Zoning 总被引：4，自引：0，他引：4
Forests can play a very significant role in protection against natural hazards and risks in mountain lands, especially against erosion and rockfalls. This paper first assesses knowledge concerning the capacity of forests to control natural hazards, with emphasis placed on forest location in catchments or slopes. Zoning aspects are then presented; based on the use of GIS, they allow determining priorities for forestry operations (cuts and biological engineering), in view to setting up an 'optimal management' of mountain forest ecosystems. Finally, an explanation is given of how the results of research are used for the management and planning of mountain ecosystems, illustrated by an example of researcher-practitioner transfer in France. Zoning, prevention, display and regular aspects are developed. On the basis of the experience and knowledge presented here, recommendations are proposed to better take into account the role of mountain forests in the control of natural hazards and risks. It is necessary to have an adapted legislative and economic framework, define priority forest intervention zones and determine an adapted sylviculture. 相似文献

We present a fossil pollen analysis from a swamp forest in the semiarid coast of Chile (32°05′S; 71°30′W), at the northern influence zone of southern westerly wind belt. A ∼10,000 cal yr BP (calendar years before 1950) palynological sequence indicates a humid phase characterized by dense swamp forest taxa dated between ∼9900 and 8700 cal yr BP. The presence of pollen-starved sediments with only scant evidence for semiarid vegetation indicates that extreme aridity ensued until ∼5700 cal yr BP. The swamp forest recovered slowly afterwards, helped by a significant increase in moisture at ∼4200 cal yr BP. A new swamp forest contraction suggests that another slightly less intense drought occurred between ∼3000 and 2200 cal yr BP. The swamp forest expansion begins again at ∼2200 cal yr BP, punctuated by a highly variable climate. Comparisons between the record presented here with other records across the region imply major variations in the extent of the southern westerlies during the Holocene. This variability could have been caused either by latitudinal displacements from the present mean position of southern westerlies wind belt or by changes in the intensity of the South Pacific Subtropical Anticyclone, both of which affect winter precipitation in the region. 相似文献

Pollen analysis of continuous sediment cores from two lakes in the northern Chonos Archipelago (44°S) in southern Chile shows a complete postglacial record of vegetation change. The fossil records indicate that deglaciation was complete in the northern Chonos by at least 13,600 14C yr BP. Ericaceous heath and grassland persisted for more than 600 years after deglaciation under the influence of dry/cold climates and frequent burning. Nothofagus-Pilgerodendron-Podocarpus forest, with modern analogues in the southern Chonos Archipelago, was established across the northern islands by 12,400 14C yr BP under increasingly warm and wet climates. There is no evidence for a return to cooler climates during the Younger Dryas chronozone. The rise of Tepualia stipularis and Weinmannia trichosperma as important forest components between 10,600 and 6000 14C yr BP may be associated with climates that were warmer than present. The collapse of Pilgerodendron communities during this time may have been triggered by a combination of factors related to disturbance frequency including tephra deposition events, fire and climate change. After 6000 14C yr BP Pilgerodendron recovers and Nothofagus-Pilgerodendron-Tepualia forest persists until the present. European logging and burning activity may have increased the susceptibility of North Patagonian Rainforest to invasion by introduced species and to future collapse of the long-lived Pilgerodendron communities. 相似文献

A high-resolution macroscopic charcoal record from Lago Melli (42°46′S, 73°33′W) documents the occurrence of forest fires in the lowlands of Isla Grande de Chiloé, southern Chile, over the last 16,000 yr. Our data suggest that fire activity in this region was largely modulated by the position/intensity of the southern westerlies at multi-millennial time scales. Fire activity was infrequent or absent between 16,000-11,000 and 8500-7000 cal yr BP and was maximal between ∼ 11,000-8500 and 3000-0 cal yr BP. A mosaic of Valdivian/North Patagonian rainforest species started at ∼ 6000 cal yr BP, along with a moderate increase in fire activity which intensified subsequently at 3000 cal yr BP. The modern transition between these forest communities and the occurrence of fires are largely controlled by summer moisture stress and variability, suggesting the onset of high-frequency variability in summer precipitation regimes starting at ∼ 5500 cal yr BP. Because negative anomalies in summer precipitation in this region are teleconnected with modern El Niño events, we propose that the onset of El Niño-like variability at ∼ 5700-6200 cal yr BP led to a reshuffling of rainforest communities in the lowlands of Isla Grande de Chiloé and an increase in fire activity. 相似文献

Landslides, avalanches, floods, and other geologic hazards impair natural resources management by jeopardizing public safety,
damaging or restricting resource utilization, and necessitating expenditures for corrective measures The negative impact of
geologic hazard events can be reduced by tailoring resources management to hazard potential of an area This requires assessment
of where and how frequently the events occur National forests and other managed wildlands often lack monitoring or historical
records to compute frequency of hazard occurrence Tree-ring analysis, based on internal growth response to external events
such as tilting and abrasion, can provide frequency data Two examples of the use of tree-ring analysis to date landslide activity
illustrate advantages and limitations of the technique An example from the Fishlake National Forest in central Utah illustrates
assessment for planning purposes An example from the Sierra National Forest in east-central California shows assessment applied
to project design Many geologic hazards in addition to landslides are suited to tree-ring analysis to establish frequency
of occurrence Hazard reduction efforts in natural resources management could be enhanced by careful application of tree-ring

Based on a case study in a Thai forest reserve, this article compares two modes of ‘reading’ the forest - official and local forest classification systems - and discusses how they imply different ideas about the forest, and how these competing knowledges interact with the politics of forest governance. Forest classification conventions are shown to slip, as ‘facts’ about the forest, from their origins in extraction-oriented forestry to the realm of conservation. Through a comparison of conventional vegetation classifications used in the state’s governance of the Thung Yai Naresuan Wildlife Sanctuary in Thailand, with the classificatory systems of resident Pwo Karen communities, this paper examines the slippage of conventional classifications through various uses and the emphases placed by competing representations of the forest within the context of conservation politics in Thailand. It was found that conventional classifications continued to prioritise the silvicultural potential of trees within a conservation context, downplaying other notions of forests - such as their importance to livelihoods and as lived spaces - which are present in Karen classifications. 相似文献

In the frame of a study aimed at defining new soil molecular biomarkers that could attest to former land use and that could also be screened in lake sediments for palaeoenvironmental reconstruction, we analysed the 2–4 cm depth layer of a soil developed under a conifer forest in the Lake Aydat catchment (French Massif Central). The lipid fraction of the sample contained 12 serratenoids bearing at least a methoxyl (OMe) group at C-3 or C-21 and various additional functional groups (alcohol, ketone or acetate). A survey of the literature provided indubitable evidence that these compounds are typical for Pinaceae species, in agreement with the surrounding vegetation at the sampling site. Due to the economic and ecological importance of the taxa, the presence of these highly specific compounds in soil, sediments or peat could therefore help in unravelling the timing of forestry activity. 相似文献

冰-岩碎屑流是一种发育在高寒山区、含固态水的特殊碎屑流,具有超强的运动性。冰屑对提高冰-岩碎屑流运动性至关重要,但对其认识仍较为不足。通过对2000年易贡滑坡的灾史资料分析和野外调查,指出易贡滑坡启动时携带冰川冰体、运动时铲刮含冰碎屑物,而且具有规模大、冲出距离远的运动特性,是典型的冰-岩碎屑流。进而引入斜槽实验模拟岩土体上覆冰川冰体失稳下滑的过程,验证调查发现的堆积体前端坑洞群问题,探讨冰-岩碎屑材料冲出距离与含冰量、冰屑岩屑粒径比的关系。研究发现,冰屑可能包裹在碎屑流前端并全程参与碎屑流运动,在停积后由于融化而在堆积体上形成坑洞。被包裹的冰屑能够提高冰-岩碎屑材料的冲出距离,但含冰量较大时冰屑可能由于黏结成团、不易进入碎屑流内部而导致冲出距离变小。由此归结得到,冰屑提高碎屑流冲出距离的一个重要前提为冰屑进入碎屑流内部,当冰屑与岩屑的粒径比越小时冰屑越容易进入。这项研究工作为认识冰屑影响提供了坑洞调查法和斜槽实验法,研究成果有助于更为深入地认识冰-岩碎屑流运动特性的冰屑影响机理,为预防冰-岩碎屑流的远程致灾提供科学依据。 相似文献

The use of Synthetic Aperture Radar interferometry (InSAR) in northern Chile, one of the most seismically active regions in the world, is of great importance. InSAR enables geodesists not only to accurately measure Earth’s motions but also to improve fault slip map resolution and our knowledge of the time evolution of the earthquake cycle processes. Fault slip mapping is critical to better understand the mechanical behavior of seismogenic zones and has fundamental implications for assessing hazards associated with megathrust earthquakes. However, numerous sources of errors can significantly affect the accuracy of the geophysical parameters deduced by InSAR. Among them, atmospheric phase delays caused by changes in the distribution of water vapor can lead to biased model parameter estimates and/or to difficulties in interpreting deformation events captured with InSAR. The hyper-arid climate of northern Chile might suggest that differential delays are of a minor importance for the application of InSAR techniques. Based on GPS, Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) data our analysis shows that differential phase delays have typical amplitudes of about 20 mm and may exceptionally exceed 100 mm and then may impact the inferences of fault slip for even a Mw 8 earthquakes at 10% level. In this work, procedures for mitigating atmospheric effects in InSAR data using simultaneous MODIS time series are evaluated. We show that atmospheric filtering combined with stacking methods are particularly well suited to minimize atmospheric contamination in InSAR imaging and significantly reduce the impact of atmospheric delay on the determination of fundamental earthquake parameters. 相似文献

At Lingfeng, (34°17'N, 104°08'E) on the northern slopes of the Qinling Mountains, a stratigraphic survey was made of a 21-m-profile of floodplain sediments on the watershed between the Chang Jiang (Yangtze River) and Huang He (Yellow River) at 2500 m above sea level. The sediments contain <2 m thick layers of peat and detritical plant matter that had been deposited on the floodplain of the Langouhe. If the radiometric dates are reliable, the chronology of the site spans some 80,000 years, covering an accumulation process from the terminal Last Interglacial up to <24 ka BP. The phase >73 ka BP had cool and wet conditions with a coniferous forest vegetation. Between 73 ka and > 40 ka colder and drier conditions were likely. The vegetation changed from aPicea-Pinus forest to aPicea-Abies-Larix forest with a later increase of non-arboreal pollen. Around 40 ka the climate was warm and moist. The accumulation of silt and organic matter as well as the development of a mixed coniferous forest with high rates of thermophilous trees(Quercus, Castanea) characterize the interstadial conditions at this time. Later on, the climate changed to cool and moist conditions, evidenced by silt and peat accumulation and a coniferous forest vegetation up to <24 ka BP. The loess in this area was deposited after 24 ka and erosion by the tributaries of Chang Jiang and Huang He to a depth of at least 40 m created the watershed between the two river systems. 相似文献
