Forest restoration efficiency: A comparative analysis of collectively vs. individually managed forests in Nepal by Sony Baral, Saurav Lamichhane, Bir B. Khanal Chhetri, Bikash Adhikari, Kalyan Gauli, Rebecca M Ford

“…This study compares net income from collectively managed forests with that from comparable individually managed forests, examining the socio-economic factors that influence net income in both restored forest types. We first matched biophysical characteristics of collectively managed (leasehold) forests and individually managed forest, and thereafter, a statistically representative sample (n = 322) of households from collectively managed forests and (n = 152) households from individually managed forests were interviewed. …”

An overview of the status, productivity and determinants of improved forage technology adoption in Ethiopia: a review by Mamaru Tesfaye, Lemma Tessema

“…This low adoption of improved forage technology is constrained by various socioeconomic, institutional, and biophysical factors. We conducted a literature search on the reputable journal database by searching for “improved forage technology”, “determinants of forage technology”, “adoption”, “status of forage production in Ethiopia”, and “forage production limitations”. …”

Informing proactive wildfire management that benefits vulnerable communities and ecological values by L. Mae Lacey, Justin P. Suraci, Caitlin E. Littlefield, Blake S. Busse, Brett G. Dickson

“…To identify locations across the conterminous US where proactive wildfire management is likely to be effective at reducing wildfire severity and to yield co‐benefits for vulnerable communities and ecological values, we developed a set of spatial models that estimated wildfire mitigation potential (based on wildfire hazard and biophysical forest conditions) and either included or excluded information on vulnerable human communities, ecological values and ecosystem services. …”
