“…It can also be related to degrees of deliberate human intervention, such as actions that seek to protect and maintain forest ecosystems and their functions, or those that seek to favor species of social or economic value, or groups of species that allow for improved production of goods and forest services. In other words, forest management refers to the management of forests in accordance with the principles of sustainable development [53][54][55].…”

Research Highlights: the wide variety of multispectral sensors that currently exist make it possible to improve the study of forest systems and ecosystem services. Background and Objectives: this study aims to analyze the current usefulness of remote sensing in forest management and ecosystem services sciences, and to identify future lines of research on these issues worldwide during the period 1976–2019. Materials and Methods: a bibliometric technique is applied to 2066 articles published between 1976 and 2019 on these topics to find findings on scientific production and key subject areas. Results: scientific production has increased annually, so that in the last five years, 50.34% of all articles have been published. The thematic areas in which more articles were linked were environmental science, agricultural, and biological sciences, and earth and planetary sciences. Seven lines of research have been identified that generate contributions on this topic. In addition, the analysis of the relevance of the keywords has detected the ten main future directions of research. The growing worldwide trend of scientific production shows interest in developing aspects of this field of study. Conclusions: this study contributes to the academic, scientific, and institutional discussion to improve decision-making, and proposes new scenarios and uses of this technology to improve the administration and management of forest resources.

“…This EU forest-related policy framework has emerged despite policy controversies and blockages, including failed attempts to establish a common EU forest policy (Winkel and Sotirov 2016 ; Pülzl et al 2018 ), a European Forest Information System (Baycheva-Merger and Sotirov 2020 ), and a Pan-European Legally Binding Agreement on Forests (Edwards and Kleinschmit 2013 ). Scholars have analyzed such controversies over decision-making competencies between the EU and national governance levels and across sectors in issue areas such as forestry and biodiversity (Eckerberg and Sandström 2013 ; DeKoning et al 2014; Borrass et al 2015 ; Sotirov and Storch 2018 ), forestry and bioenergy (Söderberg and Eckerberg 2013 ; Sotirov and Storch 2018 ), and forestry and water (Baulenas and Sotirov 2020 ).…”

European forest policymaking is shaped by progressing European integration, yet with notable ideological divisions and diverging interests among countries. This paper focuses on the coalitional politics of key environmental forest issues: biodiversity conservation, timber legality, and climate protection policy. Combining the Advocacy Coalition Framework and the Shifting Coalition Theory, and informed by more than 186 key informant interviews and 73 policy documents spanning a 20-year timeframe, we examine the evolution of coalitional forest politics in Europe. We find that the basic line-up has remained stable: an environmental coalition supporting EU environmental forest policy integration and a forest sector coalition mostly opposing it. Still, strategic alliances across these coalitions have occurred for specific policy issues which have resulted in a gradual establishment of an EU environmental forest policy. We conclude with discussion of our findings and provide suggestions for further research.
