What is your discount rate? Experimental evidence of foresters’ risk and time preferences
By AFS On 24 January 2018 In All published articles, Research paper, Special issue/Topical collection
Topical collection: Risk Analysis The elicited time preference rate of German foresters is around 4.1%. Foresters working for private enterprises are more risk-averse and have a lower time preference than other foresters. This group difference should be

Modeling thinning effects on fire behavior with STANDFIRE
By AFS On 12 January 2018 In All published articles, Research paper, Special issue/Topical collection
Topical collection: Mensuration and modelling for forestry in a changing environment We describe a modeling system that enables detailed, 3D fire simulations in forest fuels. Using data from three sites, we analyze thinning fuel treatments on fire

Variation in pinewood nematode susceptibility among Pinus pinaster Ait. provenances from the Iberian Peninsula and France
By AFS On 30 November 2017 In All published articles, Research paper, Special issue/Topical collection
Topical collection: Mediterranean Pines Pinus pinaster Ait. susceptibility to pinewood nematode significantly differed among provenances, and the two Atlantic provenances of the Iberian Peninsula being the most affected. However, significant provenance × environment interaction was found. Provenance
