The politics behind scientific knowledge: Sustainable forest management in Latin America
سیاست پشت دانش علمی: مدیریت جنگل پایدار در آمریکای لاتین-2021 Sustainable Forest Management (SFM) seeks to achieve an equilibrium in the economic, social and environ-
mental value of all types of forests. This practice contrasts with the conventional view of managing forests, in
which the focus is productivity. Thus, discussions about conventional forest management versus sustainable
forest management play a central role in the political and scientific agendas. However, knowledge production
and its direction can be biased by different contextual factors such as the way funding is assigned by each
country, institutional priorities, and constraints on international cooperation. With this paper, we aim to analyze
the contribution of scientific knowledge produced in Latin America within the sustainable forest management
research landscape by applying a literature review method (Scopus database for 2015–2018 period). Our results
show a similar contribution of national and foreign funds and institutions supporting scientific knowledge about
SFM in Latin America. Foreign funding comes mainly from United States of America, and Europe. Latin American
authors lead high proportion of scientific articles, and authorship gender was more equitable between male and
female researchers. The studies were mostly focused on conservation combined with productivity goals, as well
as pure conservation goals, although social studies and restoration goals were also present. Our findings highlight
a significant contribution to the paradigm shift in half of the scientific articles. Some studies provided recom-
mendations (specific or general) derived from their results, but we did not detected a clear relationship with
funding origin. Moreover, we found that the high contribution to the paradigm shift (studies supporting SFM
instead of traditional management) came from institutions based in Latin America. This article aims to contribute
to discussions related to scientific funding in Latin America, the North-South scientific relations, and the future of
forest in times of climate change. keywords: سیاست های جنگلداری | همکاری بین المللی | بررسی ادبیات | منابع طبیعی | تحقیق و توسعه | بودجه پژوهشی | Forestry policies | International cooperation | Literature review | Natural resources | Research and development | Research funding |

Linking standard Economic Account for Forestry and ecosystem accounting: Total forest incomes and environmental assets in publicly-owned conifer farms in Andalusia-Spain
پیوند حساب استاندارد اقتصادی برای حسابداری جنگلداری و اکوسیستم: کل درآمد جنگل ها و دارایی های محیطی در مزارع عمومی متعلق به مالکیت در اندلس اسپانیا-2021 A major problem faced by government as trustee of society charged with conserving the nation’s forest envi-
ronmental asset is that the standard Economic Account for Forestry (EAF) fails to measure the contribution of
nature to total forest incomes and environmental assets. In the context of this government mission, the debate
arises with regard to how to uncover the contribution of nature to the total forest incomes enjoyed by people
through a refined accounting framework which extends the EAF. The latter is applied by the statistics office to
estimate the values added of timber, firewood, cork, resin, industrial nut and other non-woody final products of
the forest at national/sub-national scale. Bearing in mind this narrow scope of the EAF, this research proposes the
application of the experimental Agroforestry Accounting System (AAS), which extends the forest incomes and
environmental asset estimates by applying simulated exchange values stated/revealed by consumers for non-
market public goods and services. We apply the EAF and AAS frameworks to 12 large publicly-owned pro-
tected conifer forest farms which are not available for sale on the competitive land market and which cover an
area of 47,262 ha in Andalusia-Spain. In this conifer farm case study, the EAF considers the economic activities of
timber, firewood, aromatic plants and residential service. The AAS adds to the EAF activities those of grazing,
conservation forestry, hunting, livestock, agricultural crops, livestock-keeper private amenity, fire services, free
access recreation, mushrooms, carbon, landscape conservation, threatened wild biodiversity and water supply
runoff stored lower down the watershed in public reservoirs. The objectives of this conifer farm case study are,
first, to compare the final products and incomes estimated by applying the EAF and AAS frameworks and, second,
to measure the sensitivity of conifer farm environmental assets to changes in land ownership rights and dis-
counting rates in accordance with the AAS results. The conifer farm results show total income measured by the
AAS is 38 times higher than the EAF net value added (NVA) for the 2010 period. The AAS economic activities of
forestry conservation, fire services and landscape conservation activities generate 71% of the conifer farm labour
compensation. The AAS opening environmental asset measured at the assumed competitive real baseline dis-
counting rate of 3% is 6371.6 €/ha, which is 3.7 times lower than it would be if the conifer farm was available for
sale on the competitive land market. The change in the baseline discounting rate chosen, from 3% to 1.5%, would
lead to an increase of 116% in the value of the opening environmental asset. The above results reveal the
inconsistent EAF measurement of total conifer farm incomes. The sensitivity analysis underlines the important
effects on the environmental asset arising from changes in land ownership rights and discounting rates. keywords: حساب اقتصادی برای جنگلداری | سیستم حساب های ملی | سیستم حسابداری جنگلداری | خدمات محیط زیستی | درآمد زیست محیطی | Economic account for forestry | System of national accounts | Agroforestry accounting system | Ecosystem services | Environmental income |

Experts’ multiple criteria evaluations of fuel management options to reduce wildfire susceptibility: The role of closer knowledge of the local socioeconomic context
ارزیابی معیارهای چندگانه کارشناسان گزینه های مدیریت سوخت برای کاهش حساسیت به آتش سوزی:نقش دانش دقیق تر از زمینه اجتماعی-اقتصادی محلی-2021 Expert opinion can be a valuable tool for informed decision making. Concerning wildfire susceptibility reduction
at the landscape scale, forest ecosystem experts play a key role in offering advice about appropriate fuel man-
agement practices to be applied by forest owners or their organizations, and in shaping public policies. A
literature review aimed at identifying fuel management interventions and techniques found multiple and even
opposing strategies. Recognizing the interdisciplinary and multi-dimensional nature of fuel management, we go
beyond existing studies on forest experts’ opinions by comparing evaluations across forest experts with diverse
training and experience, and by considering different evaluation criteria such as technical effectiveness, impact
on soil or biodiversity, socioeconomic impact, and preference. Following an online survey to a sample of Por-
tuguese experts, distinct socio-professional clusters were established and experts’ evaluations associated with
their views on fire, forests, owners’ coordination, and rural development. Results show that experts rank their
preferences by weighing effectiveness and impacts in different ways. Closer knowledge of the local context
distinguishes expert preference, favouring more active fuels reduction strategies. Since experts with a closer
knowledge of socioeconomic context tend to be further from policy-making processes, we urge their more
balanced participation in those processes. keywords: مدیریت منظره | کاهش حساسیت وحشی | مدیریت چند مالکیت | جنگلداری کوچک | تظاهرات کارشناس | Landscape management | Wildfire susceptibility reduction | Multi-ownership management | Small-scale forestry | Expert elicitation |

Informed conservation management of rare tree species needs knowledge of species composition, their genetic characteristics and ecological niche
مدیریت حفاظت از حفاظت از گونه های نادر درختی، نیاز به دانش ترکیب گونه ها، ویژگی های ژنتیکی آنها و طاقچه های زیست محیطی -2021 Woodland nature reserves must be scientifically assessed so that subsequent management leads to optimal
conservation of biodiversity. This entails knowledge of the species composition, the genetics of the local pop-
ulations and their ecology. Here we assess Tilia species in the Bavarian Forest National Park (BFNP), a large
mixed coniferous and deciduous forest in South-Eastern Germany. Tilia occurs here at low density, as in many
other mixed forests in Central and Northern Europe. Therefore, results are not only relevant to BFNP but also to
other areas.
Exhaustive sampling resulted in the collection of 113 mature trees that were genotyped using 20 microsatellite
markers, derived from both T. cordata and T. platyphyllos. For the first time, size and aspect of trees, and their
community association were contrasted between the species. Genotyping confirmed that T. platyphyllos,
T. cordata and their hybrid (T. x europaea) were present in the BFNP and both species deserve conservation.
T. platyphyllos has a higher genetic diversity for both sets of markers than T. cordata, confirming earlier work.
Both species showed genetic diversity comparable to other populations in Central Europe, which is likely to be
sufficient for the maintenance of the species in the short term. However, increasing the number of trees, ensuring
local sources are used, and gene flow from surrounding forests over the next decennia may be crucial for long-
term survival.
Further, within the T. platyphyllos group there was a set of 11 trees that were distinct from the others: they had
a lower genetic diversity and were shorter. We hypothesise that these were planted and should not be used for
propagation and augmentation. Most saplings analysed appeared to derive from asexual propagation (36 out of
41), although a few (five out of 41) were novel genotypes. This means that, currently, there is some, but rather
limited, regeneration.
T. cordata was found at a lower altitude and less steep terrain than T. platyphyllos and the hybrid. The hybrid
was taller than the two species, while the diameter at breast height was smallest in T. cordata. T. cordata shows a
preference for mixed and coniferous forests, while T. platyphyllos occurs mostly in deciduous forests.
Our results indicate that biodiversity at the species and genetic level as well as species’ ecology have to be
considered in order to guide informed conservation management. These results form the basis to recommend
conservation management improving the long-term viability of Tilia in the BFNP and other mixed forests. keywords: جنگلداری | تیلیا | تنوع ژنتیکی | ترجیح زیستگاه | مناطق حفاظت شده | هیبریداسیون | جنگلکاری | Forestry | Tilia | Genetic diversity | Habitat preference | Protected areas | Hybridisation | Silviculture |

Effect of REDDþ projects on local livelihood assets in Keo Seima and Oddar Meanchey, Cambodia
تأثیر پروژه های REDDþ بر دارایی های معیشت محلی در Keo Seima و Oddar Meanchey ، کامبوج-2020 Climate-change mitigation projects are expected to improve local livelihoods in targeted areas. Several REDDþ
projects aimed at reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation, conserving and enhancing forest
carbon stocks, and sustainably managing forests have been implemented in Cambodia but few studies have
examined the effects on local livelihoods before and during project implementation. Our study applies a sustainable
livelihood framework to assess the livelihood assets of local communities in the Oddar Meanchey and
Keo Seima REDDþ project sites in Cambodia before and during project implementation. Five capital assets,
namely natural, physical, human, financial, and social capital, are assessed and scored on a 1-to-5 Likert scale.
Data analysis collected through 252 interviews in Oddar Meanchey and Keo Seima reveals a slight increase in
livelihood assets in both sites from project validation to implementation. Generally, the mean scores for local
livelihood assets increased from 2.81 0.07 (is followed by the standard error) and 2.66 0.06 to 3.07 0.09
and 3.06 0.08 in Oddar Meanchey and Keo Seima, respectively. Nevertheless, natural capital assets sharply
declined from 3.50 and 3.32 to 2.09 and 2.25, respectively. Respondents mainly blamed illegal logging for the
decline, suggesting that strict patrolling and enforcement must be implemented. Furthermore, the scarcity of
carbon-credit buyers and the projects’ inability to generate carbon-based revenues has led to dissatisfaction
among local communities, inducing avoidable illegal activities in pursuit of short-term benefits. A financial
mechanism to ensure sufficient and sustained financial support regardless of carbon-market volatility is urgently
needed.

Facilitating collaboration in forest management: Assessing the benefits of collaborative policy innovations
تسهیل همکاری در مدیریت جنگل: ارزیابی مزایای نوآوری های سیاست مشارکتی-2020 Collaborative governance and landscape approaches have become a more prevalent in public land management
in the United States in the face of increasing ecological and societal complexity and decreasing government
resources and capacity. In this era of devolution and social-ecological change, there is a growing need for policy
approaches that facilitate partnerships and participatory approaches to land management. One unique policy
that emphasizes collaboration and large-landscape restoration on US federal forestlands is the Collaborative
Forest Landscape Restoration Program (CFLRP), established in 2009 to accelerate the pace and scale of forest
restoration. The policy included novel characteristics such as a decade-long commitment to landscapes and
formal requirements for collaboration. This program presented an opportunity to assess how this policy affected
collaboration and the factors that led to differential policy implementation. We conducted 89 interviews across
all 23 CFLRP projects with internal agency staff and external collaborators on each project. We found that the
CFLRP generated a variety of benefits related to collaboration, including increased trust and stronger relationships,
increased collaborative partner influence, decreased litigation and conflict, and increased capacity
to accomplish work; however, there were also challenges associated with the program, including thetime-intensive
nature of collaboration and the lack of industry or contractors. Various local factors affected collaborative
outcomes under the policy, including staff turnover and capacity, local leadership, and collaborative
history. Successful collaborative outcomes were widespread under the CFLRP, and from this, we draw implications
for the broader environmental governance literature about the policy characteristics that facilitate
collaboration and the other institutional variables that may require attention in this context. Keywords: Collaborative governance | Community-based forestry | Adaptive governance | Ecological | Restoration | Policy design |

Whose climate? Whose forest? Power struggles in a contested carbon forestry project in Uganda
آب و هوای کی؟ جنگل کی؟ مبارزات قدرت در یک پروژه جنگلداری کربن مورد بحث در اوگاندا-2020 The voluntary carbon offset market is legitimated in climate policy debates at the global level and has incentivized a large number of afforestation and reforestation projects that have produced new power relations at the local level. This paper aims to critically examine how a contested Gold Standard certified project in Western Uganda has been justified, opposed and adapted during its implementation. Using a political ecology approach, this article sheds new light on the complexity of global-local interlinkages regarding carbon forestry projects and examines discursive power struggles. Taking a social constructivist perspective, I assume that due to their different values and experiences, actors have differing perceptions of the tensions and power relations arising during the carbon forestry project. Building on interviews and project-relevant certification documents, practices, narratives and counter-narratives were analyzed. The results show that while local actors were excluded from the forest, local communities and civil society actors have resisted against the companys management regime. Although the company remains the most powerful actor, more collaborative and moderate practices have lowered the conflict level. The case study shows that carbon markets need to be legitimated not only at the global level but also during the implementation in interaction with local constituencies. |

Assessment of skills needed in entry-level urban foresters in the USA
ارزیابی مهارت های مورد نیاز در ورود به سطح جنگل شهری در ایالات متحده آمریکا-2020 Urban forestry is an interdisciplinary field of science and a profession that directly manages green infrastructure.
There are many significant benefits to a properly managed urban forest resource, managers need to be appropriately
prepared to successfully manage their resources. We conducted a mixed-mode survey that asked employers
what skills they were looking for when they hired entry-level urban foresters and if recent hires possessed
these skills. The survey was mailed to municipal urban forest managers at the top 200 most populous
cities in the United States and was available online as a snowball survey. Most of the skill ratings for entry-level
urban foresters in this study were positive. It appears that academic programs are meeting much of the needs for
entry-level urban foresters as important-performance analysis found that employers felt most of the urban forestry,
arboriculture, & forestry skills were being adequately met. Yet there was room for improvement in skills
such as site plan review, project management, conflict resolution and community outreach. Interestingly, accredited
degree programs were not valued in this survey, while some professional certifications and licenses
were valued. Keywords: Urban forestry | Skills | Knowledge | Important-performance analysis |

What is Climate-Smart Forestry? A definition from a multinational collaborative process focused on mountain regions of Europe
جنگلداری اقلیمی و هوشمند چیست؟ تعریفی از یک فرایند مشترک چند ملیتی متمرکز بر مناطق کوهستانی اروپا-2020 Climate-Smart Forestry (CSF) is an emerging branch of sustainable forest management that aims to manage
forests in response to climate change. Specific CSF strategies are viewed as a way forward for developing suitable
management responses and enhancing the provision of ecosystem services. However, there is currently a lack of
comprehensive and cohesive assessment to implement CSF. This paper describes the step-by-step process that
developed a comprehensive and shared definition of CSF, and the process for selecting indicators that assess the
“climate-smartness” of forest management. Adaptation, mitigation and social dimensions are the core focus of
the CSF definition, which recognises the need to integrate and avoid development of these aspects in isolation.
An iterative participatory process was used with a range of experts in forest-related fields from the CLIMO
project, this was subsequently supported by a network analysis to identify sustainable forest management indicators
important to CSF. The definition developed here, is an important first step in to promote CSF that will
aid practice in the forestry sector. It can be used as a template across Europe, tailored to local contexts. Further
work communicating CSF to practitioners and policy-makers will create a CSF practice and culture that will help
to safeguard future forest economies and communities. Keywords: Sustainable forest management | Adaptation | Mitigation | Social dimension | Bioeconomy | Indicator |
