Current constraints to reconcile tropical forest restoration and bioeconomy

Sustainability Science (2024)

Pedro Medrado Krainovic Diego Oliveira Brandão Angélica Faria de Resende Stella Z. Schons Leonardo Munhoz

Abstract Large-scale forest restoration is vital for delivering a broad array of ecosystem services benefits to society. However, it is often perceived as an economically noncompetitive land use choice. Integrating economic opportunities into restoration aligns socioeconomic and environmental goals, reducing conflicts between forest production and conservation-oriented management decisions. Supply chains focusing on high-value goods can enhance the reach of forest restoration efforts and unite ecological and economic benefits in a multifunctional manner. The bioeconomy has emerged as a potential but critical driver for attracting investments in restoration. We outline the challenges and solutions to reconcile forest restoration and bioeconomy, specifically about (i) native timber production, (ii) non-timber forest products, (iii) biotechnological products, and (iv) intangible ecosystem services. This requires collaborative and multidisciplinary efforts to improve investment in large-scale projects. The intricacies of these issues intersect with research development, market dynamics, legal frameworks, and regulatory paradigms, underscoring the necessity for nuanced and tailored public policy interventions. These integrated approaches should enable tropical countries to lead the global forest-based economy and usher in a new era of forest restoration. Graphical abstract

Andes virus associated with hantavirus pulmonary syndrome in northern Argentina and determination of the precise site of infection.

American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene (2002)

Marcelo González Della Valle Alexis Edelstein Sergio de‐Miguel Valeria P. Martínez Javier Cortez

Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) has been documented in the Salta and Jujuy provinces of northern Argentina since 1991 and 1997, respectively, accounting for almost 50% of the cases of HPS reported in this country. Andes (AND) virus, specifically the AND virus Nort lineage, was previously associated with human disease in this region. Genetic analysis of viral medium RNA segments obtained from 18 HPS cases showed the existence of three AND virus Nort sublineages co-circulating in these two provinces. They showed a nucleotide sequence diversity of up to 11.1% between the sublineages. The putative site of infection of one of these cases (Sal3/97) was determined. A 100% nucleotide sequence identity was observed between the viral sequence found in patient Sal3/97 and in two virus-positive Oligoryzomys chacoensis captured in the same place where the case lived and worked. These results indicated the putative site of infection and identified this rodent species as the source of infection.

Stand structure and regeneration of harvestedAraucaria araucana–Nothofagusstands in central Chile

Southern Forests a Journal of Forest Science (2014)

Rafael M. Navarro‐Cerrillo Fernando Olave Francisco Moreno Sergio de‐Miguel Margarita Clemente

AbstractIn this study we examined the current structure and regeneration status of mixed Araucaria araucana–Nothofagus spp. stands that had been logged 20 years ago. We measured stand density of saplings, juvenile and adult trees, as well as stand basal area of A. araucana and Nothofagus spp. in 69 plots distributed in five sites in order to characterise diameter distributions using a Weibull function. Araucaria araucana represented 23–75% of total stand density (69–197 trees ha−1) and total basal area (17.5–54.9 m2 ha−1), and the remaining tree species were Nothofagus pumilio, N. dombeyi and N. obliqua. Stand density of A. araucana juveniles ranged from 106 to 1 422 plants ha−1, whereas juveniles of Nothofagus spp. ranged from 4 to 495 plants ha−1. Based on the fitted Weibull distribution function, the shape of the diameter distribution for A. araucana individuals ≥10 cm dbh was dominated by the reverse-J (c = 1.0) and mound-shaped (c = 1.26) forms. The Weibull shape parameter of N. pumilio indicated that the diameter distributions were positively skewed. These results are indicative of a good regeneration status for A. araucana and a medium one for N. pumilio. Stand characteristics were used to predict regeneration of A. araucana on the study sites using a principal component analysis (PCA). The PCA showed that regeneration, including seedlings and saplings, was higher in those stands including high values of density of A. araucana. Stand density of juvenile trees in stands where A. araucana had been previously logged suggests that harvesting during the 1980s may have provided occasional recruitment sites where shading may have otherwise precluded regeneration. The results of the study improve our understanding of the ecology, dynamics and succession of mixed A. araucana–Nothofagus forests in southern South America.Keywords: forest stand dynamicsforest stand structureNothofagus pumiliosilviculturesustainable forest managementWeibull

Characterizing the rate of spread of large wildfires in emerging fire environments of northwestern Europe using Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite active fire data

Natural hazards and earth system sciences (2023)

Adrián Cardíl Victor Mario Tapia Santiago Monedero Tomás Quiñones Kerryn Little

Abstract. In recent years fires of greater magnitude have been documented throughout northwest Europe. With several climate projections indicating future increases in fire activity in this temperate area, it is imperative to identify the status of fire in this region. This study unravels unknowns about the state of the fire regime in northwest Europe by characterizing one of the key aspects of fire behavior, the rate of spread (ROS). Using an innovative approach to cluster Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) hotspots into fire perimeter isochrones to derive ROS, we identify the effects of land cover and season on the rate of spread of 102 landscape fires that occurred between 2012 and 2022. Results reveal significant differences between land cover types, and there is a clear peak of ROS and burned area in the months of March and April. Median ROS within these peak months is approximately 0.09 km h−1 during a 12 h overpass, and 66 % of the burned area occurs in this spring period. Heightened ROS and burned area values persist in the bordering months of February and May, suggesting that these months may present the extent of the main fire season in northwest Europe. Accurate data on ROS among the represented land cover types, as well as periods of peak activity, are essential for determining periods of elevated fire risk, the effectiveness of available suppression techniques, and appropriate mitigation strategies (land and fuel management).
