“…Overall, the water and soil quality conditions in the silvofishery ponds appear to be suitable for cultivation. The suitability of land and water in the silvofishery ecosystem is influenced by the scientific symbiosis between the aquaculture and silviculture ecosystems (Alder et al, 2023).…”

“…The high concentration of COD suggests intense decomposition processes, likely stemming from organic waste from fish feed and feces (Junior et al, 2021;Colette et al, 2022). The low concentration of total nitrogen indicates that the level of nitrogen uptake by mangrove roots is very high (Alder et al, 2023). The silt soil texture significantly influences nutrient solubility at the cultivation site.…”

The aim of this research are to assess the feasibility of water and soil quality in silvofishery cultivation areas and to determine the environmental carrying capacity of the cultivation. The methods employed include Water Quality Index (WQI), Soil Quality Index (SQI), carrying capacity, and correlation analysis of parameters. The concentration of COD in the silvofishery pond water ranges from 705.34-749.50 mg.L-1, and the total nitrogen content in the soil ranges from 7-8 mg.L-1. The COD parameter in water shows a strong correlation with dissolved oxygen. The soil type parameter silt is correlated with redox potential, while the clay soil type is correlated with sand soil. The variance in data for water and soil quality variables is considered significant as per cluster analysis. The WQI values range from 0.47-0.85, categorized as poor, good, and excellent. The SQI values range from 0.52-0.77, falling into the good and excellent categories. The carrying capacity of dissolved oxygen ranges from 0.7-1.99 kg.ha-1, indicating that if the DO concentration is below this range, oxygen depletion may occur in the silvofishery pond. The research results indicate that the water and soil quality in the silvofishery pond is still sufficiently suitable for silvofishery activities. The carrying capacity of dissolved oxygen in the silvofishery pond is deemed adequate for operational silvofishery activities, ranging from 14.26-15.87 kg.ha-1. This implies that the silvofishery cultivation system is capable of enhancing aquaculture productivity while minimizing environmental pollution in the surrounding aquatic areas resulting from the waste generated during aquaculture operations.

“…The persistence of stands between harvests, characteristic of CCF, has been found to improve multi-functionality of production forests in Fennoscandia and specifically to improve diversity of ectomycorrhizal fungi and herbivorous larvae [19]. CCF also has better retention of late successional forest species-especially shade-tolerant understory plants and bird species assemblages-than traditional clear cutting [20][21][22][23]. CCF is thought to be second only to retention forestry with respect to habitat preservation [24], where retention forestry is itself a form of CCF in which dead wood, habitat trees, and trees with larger contributions to diversity are retained during harvesting [24,25].…”

Purpose of Review Continuous cover forestry (CCF) is a sustainable management approach for forestry in which forest stands are manipulated to create irregular stand structures with varied species composition. This approach differs greatly from the traditional approaches of plantation-based forestry, in which uniform monocultures are maintained, and thus, traditional methods of assessment, such as productivity (yield class) calculations, are less applicable. This creates a need to identify new methods to succeed the old and be of use in operational forestry and research. By applying remote sensing techniques to CCF, it may be possible to identify novel solutions to the challenges introduced through the adoption of CCF. Recent Findings There has been a limited amount of work published on the applications of remote sensing to CCF in the last decade. Research can primarily be characterised as explorations of different methods to quantify the target state of CCF and monitor indices of stand structural complexity during transformation to CCF, using terrestrial and aerial data collection techniques. Summary We identify a range of challenges associated with CCF and outline the outstanding gaps within the current body of research in need of further investigation, including a need for the development of new inventory methods using remote sensing techniques. We identify methods, such as individual tree models, that could be applied to CCF from other complex, heterogenous forest systems and propose the wider adoption of remote sensing including information for interested parties to get started.

“…Most silvicultural methods have been developed with the primary goal of ensuring adequate regeneration of commercial tree species after harvest (Baker et al, 2013;Aguirre-Calderón, 2015;Bravo-Oviedo et al, 2020;Alder et al, 2023). In this sense, foresters claim that the practice of forestry should be considered as applied forest ecology (Boyle et al, 2016;Ashton and Kelty, 2018;Lībiete et al, 2023).…”

In sustainable forest management it is essential to conserve and maintain biodiversity, the floristic composition and the mixture of its species. For this purpose, the objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of the selection silvicultural treatment as a function of time, on the horizontal structure of a Pine-Oak Forest in northern Mexico. Nine sampling points were established to analyze the structure of the Initial Condition of the forest in 2012, the Recruitment of 2022 and the Final Condition of 2022. In addition, the Jaccard similarity coefficient and the Margalef wealth index were estimated. Likewise, Shannon true diversity index, the importance value index and the forest value index were calculated for each species. The analysis of variance with a confidence of 95% was used to evaluate the studied variables, multiple comparisons were made with Duncan's test to group the species in ranges of statistical importance. The results indicated that the forest not presented a change in similarity, richness and diversity of species due to the application of the selection silvicultural treatment, without statistical differences according to the mix and distribution of the species in the forest, this indicates that selective logging does not change the composition of forest species. Regarding the indices of true diversity, value of importance and forest value by species, no significant differences were observed in terms of the application of silvicultural treatment. According to these results, it was possible to identify groups of forest importance and value, where Pinus durangensis Martínez was the most representative species.
