An Analysis of Non-State and State Approaches for Forest Certification in Mexico
(MDPI, 2017)
Mexico has had a non-state forest certification system under the Forest Stewardship Council
(FSC) since it was initiated in 1993, and developed a new state-sponsored Mexican Forest Certification System (MFCS) that began ...
Species-specific and regional volume models for 12 forest species in Durango, Mexico
(Universidad Autónoma Chapingo, 2017)
Introduction: Estimating the volume of individual trees is an important aspect in dendrometry and in the conducting of forest inventories.
Objective: Significant differences were evaluated in additive equation systems for ...
A new approach to defining rotation ages on the basis of productive and technological aspects. Application to natural Pinus sylvestris L. stands in Central Spain
(Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Tecnología Agraria y Alimentaria (INIA), 2017)
Aim of study: To propose a new approach to defining rotation ages on the basis of productive and technological aspects and to present an example of application of the methodology to natural Pinus sylvestris stands in ...
Individual Tree Diameter and Height Growth Models for 30 Tree Species in Mixed-Species and Uneven-Aged Forests of Mexico
(MDPI, 2020)
Lack of knowledge of individual tree growth in species-rich, mixed forest ecosystems impedes their sustainable management. In this study, species-specific models for predicting individual diameter at breast height (dbh) ...
Compatible System for Predicting Total and Merchantable Stem Volume over and under Bark, Branch Volume and Whole-Tree Volume of Pine Species
(MDPI, 2017)
Accurate quantification of branch volume in trees is important for sustainable forest
management, especially as these fractions are increasingly used for bioenergy, and for precise
forest CO2 quantification. Whereas a ...
Development of crown profile model for Pinus cooperi Blanco in the UMAFOR 1008, Durango, Mexico
(Universidad Autónoma Chapingo, 2016)
A crown profile model for Pinus cooperi Blanco in UMAFOR 1008 (El Salto, Pueblo Nuevo,
Durango) was developed from data corresponding to 92 sampled trees. Trees with
well-formed crowns were selected from stands varying ...
Characterization of diameter structures of natural forests of northwest of Durango, Mexico
(Universidad Autónoma Chapingo, 2015)
The diameter distribution of 44 permanent plots (conifers and broadleaf trees) was modeled using the three-parameter Weibull and Johnson's SB probability density functions (PDFs) in Santiago Papasquiaro, Durango. Four ...
Modeling and Mapping Forest Fire Occurrence from Aboveground Carbon Density in Mexico
(MDPI, 2019)
Understanding the spatial patterns of fire occurrence is key for improved forest fires
management, particularly under global change scenarios. Very few studies have attempted to relate
satellite-based aboveground biomass ...
Allometric Equations for Estimating Biomass and Carbon Stocks in the Temperate Forests of North-Western Mexico
(MDPI, 2017)
This paper presents new equations for estimating above-ground biomass (AGB) and biomass components of seventeen forest species in the temperate forests of northwestern Mexico. A data set corresponding to 1336 destructively ...
Temporal patterns of active fire density and its relationship with a satellite fuel greenness index by vegetation type and region in Mexico during 2003-2014
(Springer, 2019)
Background: Understanding the temporal patterns of fire occurrence and their relationships with fuel dryness is key to sound fire management, especially under increasing global warming. At present, no system for prediction ...
