“…Compared to CNV, RIL has demonstrated a reduction in canopy loss by 90-120% [24], and reduced ground disturbance per stem harvested [23,24]. RIL activities have been found to result in 41% less damage to residual stands when compared to CNV [25].…”

“…RIL activities have been found to result in 41% less damage to residual stands when compared to CNV [25]. Directional felling is more intensive and time consuming which means that RIL is 10-58% less productive compared to CNV in terms of harvested volume per unit of time [24], however this is offset by higher wood recovery resulting from higher efficiency in operations [23]. Skidding operations under RIL were shown to be more efficient due to direct skid trail planning and reduced tractor production hours.…”

“…This poses yet another unusual challenge as historically, forest infrastructure is unplanned prior to execution [24,[36][37][38]. Based on the infrastructure, the baseline will reflect the damage and regrowth of the residual stand.…”

Abstract:The proposed hierarchy of production forest management provides modus operandi for forest concessions to move incrementally towards Sustainable Forest Management (SFM) via Reduced-Impact Logging (RIL) and forest certification. Financial benefits are sourced in the "Additionality Zone", financing the rise in the hierarchy and offsetting prohibitive forest and carbon certification costs. RIL carbon registration components consist of developing credible baseline, additionality and leakage arguments around the business-as-usual scenario through the quantification of historical forest inventory and production records, forest infrastructure records and damage to the residual forest. If conventional harvesting is taken as a baseline, research indicates RIL can potentially reduce emissions by approximately 1-7 tCO 2 e ha This may act as a basis for future planned forest management activities involving RIL, carbon and forest certification through the hierarchy of production forest management.

“…Os resultados obtidos em relação ao impacto dos diferentes tratamentos na dinâmica da biomassa arbórea viva remanescente na floresta e, consequentemente, sobre seu estoque de carbono, vão de encontro aos observados na literatura, onde os estoques observados para o tratamento de MF-EIR são superiores ao da EC e suas perdas de carbono, resultado da exploração madeireira, são inferiores, HOLMES; CARTER, 2003;VIDAL, 2004;VALLE et al, 2007;PUTZ et al, 2008PUTZ et al, , 2011MACPHEARSON et al, 2010;.…”

“…Diversos autores apontam que atividades IFM, em especial a conversão da exploração madeireira convencional (EC) para o manejo florestal com exploração de impacto reduzido (MF-EIR), é uma prática comprovadamente eficaz para a conservação da biomassa e, consequentemente, dos estoques de carbono nos ecossistemas florestais, além de apresentar ganhos significativos em relação à sustentabilidade da atividade madeireira pelo reflexo positivo na regeneração da floresta explorada (JONHS; BARRETO; UHL, 1996; BARRETO; UHL; JOHNS, 1998;DYKSTRA, 2002;VIDAL;VIANA;BATISTA, 2002;CARTER, 2003;VIDAL, 2004;VALLE et al, 2007;PUTZ et al, 2008PUTZ et al, , 2011MACPHEARSON et al, 2010;.…”

Abstract 1. Community forestry is a participatory approach aiming to achieve sustainable forest management while also reducing poverty among rural communities. Yet, evidence of the impacts of community forestry programmes on both forest conservation and poverty alleviation is scarce, and there is limited understanding of impacts across different social and biophysical contexts.2. We applied a matching method to assess the extent to which deforestation has decreased and village well-being has improved as a result of Indonesia's community forestry scheme, Hutan Desa (Village Forest). We assessed five dimensions of well-being: basic (living conditions), physical (access to health and education), financial (income support), social (security and equity) and environmental (natural hazard prevention).3. We found that Hutan Desa was associated with reduced deforestation and poverty. 'Win-win' outcomes were found in 51% of cases, comprising (a) positive outcomes for both forests and poverty, (b) a positive outcome for one aspect and a negligible outcome for the other, or (c) a positive outcome for poverty in areas where natural forest had already been lacking prior to Hutan Desa tenure. Benefits to forests and people systematically differed depending on land-use zones, reflecting subtle interactions between anthropogenic pressures and community livelihood characteristics. 4. In Watershed Protection Zones, which are dominated by subsistence-based forest livelihoods, community forestry provided mild conservation benefits, but resulted in the greatest improvements in well-being through improved land tenure.In Limited Production Zones, community forestry provided modest benefits for | 205People and Nature SANTIKA eT Al.
