Protection and recovery of land natural ecosystems is a relevant task of sustainable development. Natural recovery of forests is an important instrument to solve the problem. The article describes the integrated approach to management of land use with self-sown forests, which have become a wide-spread phenomenon on the agricultural lands in Polissia and Forest-Steppe zones of the western Ukraine. The authors conducted an interview, which demonstrated people’s attitude to self-afforestation of lands. The idea of protecting self-sown forests was supported by one third of the respondents. Among those, who wish to possess a land plot with forests, the main share is represented by people of the age category of 21-40 years old. The authors substantiate the potential value of ecosystem services, which can be supplied by self-sown forests by introducing different practices. A focus is made on the ecosystem benefits from protection of self-sown forests, which cannot be expressed in money terms, but are of environmental and social value for the community. A model of integrated management of agricultural lands with self-sown forests was developed. It is suggested to use planning as an instrument, which involves assessment of the potential of land and other resources, to determine alternatives of land use, considering economic and social conditions of the territory development and landscape characteristics. Ukraine should develop a policy, establish institutes and approve procedures intended to protect self-sown forests. In the future, it will reduce the area of ploughed land and improve biodiversity of the territory.

“…Generally, the product value and oxygen release value have been ignored [ 22 , 23 ]. As an ecological resource, the value composition of a marine fishery carbon sink has much in common with the production value composition of an ecosystem [ 24 , 25 ], and its product value, carbon storage value, and oxygen release value should be considered an inseparable whole.…”

Shellfish and algae mariculture make up an important part of the marine fishery carbon sink. Carbon sink research is necessary to ensure China achieves its goal of carbon neutrality. This study used the material quality assessment method to estimate the carbon sink capacity of shellfish and algae. Product value, carbon storage value, and oxygen release value were used to calculate the economic value of shellfish and algae carbon sequestration. The results showed that the annual average shellfish and algae carbon sink in China was 1.10 million tons from 2003 to 2019, of which shellfish accounted for 91.63%, wherein Crassostreagigas, Ruditapesphilippinarum, and Chlamysfarreri were the main contributors. The annual average economic value of China’s shellfish and algae carbon sequestration was USD 71,303.56 million, and the product value was the main contributor, accounting for 99.11%. The carbon sink conversion ratios of shellfish and algae were 8.37% and 5.20%, respectively, thus making shellfish the aquaculture species with the strongest carbon sink capacity and the greatest carbon sink potential. The estimated growth rate in the shellfish and algae removable carbon sink was 33,900 tons/year in China, but this trend was uncertain. The capacity for carbon sequestration and exchange by aquaculture can be improved by expanding breeding space, promoting multi-level comprehensive breeding modes, and marine artificial upwelling projects.

“…Cultural heritage is most commonly considered from the perspective of tangible, intangible and environmental assets, but technological and socioeconomic changes yielded a new category, digital heritage. This category is relevant to rural areas as well, even though they used to be associated with cultural landscapes (Soloviy et al , 2021. Prus et al , 2021), tangible heritage, such as religious artefacts and handicraft (Fonseca and Ramos, 2012), traditional architecture and land (Olczak et al , 2022), and nontangible heritage (George, 2010).…”

Digital artefacts of rural tourism: the case study of Poland

Purpose Rural tourism facilities in Poland were very keen on amateur websites to promote their hospitality services from 2000 to 2018. In most cases, the websites were nonprofessional, hosted on free servers and made by family members or friends of the holding. After search engine algorithms changed in 2015–2019, the websites started to go extinct on a large scale; they were deleted and often replaced with a more modern design and a commercial domain. These resources offered a rare opportunity to gain insight into rural tourism, rural changes and socioeconomic and cultural phenomena. Design/methodology/approach The paper’s objective is to demonstrate with an analysis of archived Polish rural tourism websites that digital cultural artefacts are generated in rural areas. The study was an analysis of selected development attributes of rural tourism websites found in the Internet Archive. The analysis involved those attributes that are important for determining whether a website or content can be considered digital cultural heritage assets. Findings The conclusions demonstrate that rural digital cultural heritage is a set of digital artefacts created in rural areas with their characteristics. Rural digital artefacts are records of ICT, infrastructure, environmental, cultural and socioeconomic changes. Originality/value The “digital assets” of rural areas are yet to be discussed in the context of rural cultural heritage, as a set of artefacts created in these areas and characteristic of them.
