“…Three simultaneous phases of development were noticeable: the intensification of forestry operations, the increase in recreational needs, and the development of the environmental movement (Hellström & Reunala 1995). To reduce conflicts, several administrators of urban woodland began to make changes in silvicultural practices (Hellström 1996(Hellström , 2001 and recreational values were implemented in forestry policy, forest planning and forest management (Kardell 1978, Hytönen 1995, Gundersen 2005, Karjalainen 2006). These adaptations significantly reduced the conflict level (Hellström 2001).…”

“…Mattsson & Li 1994, Mattsson et al 1995, Holgén et al 2000. Several studies show that logging residue decreases the visual quality of the forests or felling areas (Heino 1974, Hultman 1983, Aasetre 1993, Kardell et al 1977, Kardell & Lindhagen 1998, Lindhagen & Hörnsten 2000, Karjalainen 2006, Gundersen & Christensen 2008. The effects of logging residue are reduced as time passes and when there is enough vegetation to hide the woody debris.…”

“…Patchy scarification is likely to be preferred to continuous rows, according to research on drainage of peatland (Hultman 1983). Ground ploughing and other kinds of deeper soil scarification for natural regeneration were not appreciated by the public in several studies (Korhonen 1983, Kardell & Mård 1989, Sievänen 1993, Karjalainen 2006. In general, based on knowledge from preference research one may assume that increased intensity of soil scarification correlates negatively with people's appreciation for the forest stand and landscape.…”

“…Large rotten wood in a natural setting always gives a higher preference score than small size or fresh dead wood in a managed forest (Gundersen & Christensen 2008). Dead wood in a natural setting increases the coherence, complexity and mystery of the forest (Karjalainen 2006).…”

“…Leaving standing and fallen dead trees for natural decay is generally claimed to be a disturbing factor and a 'messy' element in the forests (Hultman 1983, Kardell 1990, Karjalainen 2000, Lindhagen & Hörnsten 2000, Tyrväinen et al 2003, Gundersen & Christensen 2008. On the other hand, dead wood could increase the complexity and mystery of the forest, important factors for forest experience (Karjalainen 2006). Research on the effects of dead wood in forests is limited, and it is unclear how people's preferences varies for different kinds of dead wood in various stand conditions.…”

Increased biomass harvesting for bioenergy Nordic co-operationNordic cooperation is one of the world's most extensive forms of regional collaboration, involving Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, and three autonomous areas: the Faroe Islands, Greenland, and Åland.Nordic cooperation has firm traditions in politics, the economy, and culture. It plays an important role in European and international collaboration, and aims at creating a strong Nordic community in a strong Europe.Nordic cooperation seeks to safeguard Nordic and regional interests and principles in the global community. The current supply of renewable bioenergy in Finland, Norway, and Sweden is equivalent to 83 TWh, 15 TWh, and 104 TWh, respectively, of which more than 90% comes from the forest sector. Assessments for total supplies of bioenergy by 2020 vary but are in the order of 126 TWh, 34 TWh, and 151 TWh for Finland, Norway and Sweden, respectively. Many biomass harvesting options exist but they are not all equally likely in the Nordic countries. Based on various public recommendations and the current debate on the use of biomass, the following options need to be considered from forests, farmland and mires and wetlands. Increased harvesting of logging residues, stumps, trees from tending and thinning of young forest, and non-standard wood from current logging areas, especially from forestry districts near roads and facilities for effective use of the biomass resources (e.g., heating plants, industrial facilities).  Increased intensity of forest cultivation activities, such as building of forest roads, soil preparation, nitrogen fertilization, planting, various thinning regimes, use of high-yield varieties or species, and shorter rotation time, on current logging areas.  Increased harvesting of woody residues from clearing of power line corridors and along roads where effective transportation to facilities for use of the biomass is possible.  Increased harvesting from currently non-commercial forest as well as increased afforestation may be relevant under suitable economical constraints, especially in Norway.  Increased cultivation of energy crops on arable land, such as grains, oilseed crops, and grasses, primarily in Finland and Sweden. Increased biomass harvesting for bioenergy 10 Increased short rotation forestry with willows and poplars on farmland, primarily in Finland and Sweden.  Increased harvesting of wood resources from marginal agricultural land, field edges etc, to a limited extent where the biomass can be exploited locally.  Biomass harvesting from mires and wetlands may primarily be in the form of harvesting of Sphagnum and canary reed grass on former peat mining areas and harvesting reed in shallow water bodies, mainly in Finland.The following biomass harvesting measures will in most cases be acceptable or have only minor negative effects: Harvesting of logging residues, including trees from tending of young forest and thinning, seems to be among the more acceptable forms of biomass harvesting. It will probably ha...

The current study examined how mood affects the impact of false feedback on belief and recollection. In a three-session experiment, participants rst watched 40 neutral mini videos, which were accompanied by music to induce either a positive or negative mood, or no music. Following a recognition test, they received false feedback to reduce belief in the occurrence of the events displayed in some of the videos (Session 2). This was followed by an immediate memory test and a delayed memory assessment one week later (Session 3). The results revealed that participants in negative mood reported higher belief scores compared to those in positive moods, despite an overall decline in belief scores for all groups following the false feedback. Notably, individuals in negative moods exhibited less reduction in their belief scores after encountering challenges, thereby maintaining a higher accuracy in their testimonies. Over time, a reduction in the clarity of participants' memory recall was observed, which correspondingly reduced their testimony accuracy. This study thus indicates that mood states play a role in shaping belief and memory recall under the in uence of false feedback.

Effects of stand types on recreational preferences of society in the Sub-Alpine Zone, northern Turkey

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The main objective of this study was to examine how different stand types influenced the tendency of visitors for varying recreational activities (i.e., hiking, trekking, camping and hunting) from 1993 to 2018 in the surrounding areas of Uluyayla Natural Recreation Site in Bartin, northern Turkey. A total of 627 visitors were selected on a voluntary basis, and questioned in the form of questionnaire. Most of the participants were in the age of 21–40 years old, and they were mostly (62.4%) male. Most of the participants (82.7%) lived in cities, while 62.8% of them were tourists when visiting the site. In determining the preferences of the visitors regarding the stand types for different recreational activities, several images of each stand were shared with them, and they were asked which stand type they would prefer for a given recreation activity (i.e., hiking, tracking, camping and hunting). A range of options from 1 to 5 in Likert’s scale was used in evaluating the given responses. The degree of positive and negative effects was examined via trend analysis. It was found that stand type had influence on the preferences of visitors regarding the recreational activities. In general, unmanaged and moderately treated stands were more preferred by visitors for the recreational purposes, compared to the previously managed stands. On the other hand, visitors’ preference for the activities were different during two periods (i.e., 1993–2005 and 2006–2018). For each recreational activity, there was an increasing trend from 1993 to 2018. There had been a continuous increase for hunting since 1996, and for trekking and camping after 1999. The increases between 1993–1996 and 1996–1999 were likely due to the increasing awareness of the society as a result of the training and consciousness raising activities for nature conservation. The demand on the recreational activities continuously increased in unmanaged and moderately treated stands, while no significant changes were examined in the previously managed stands. The study points out that forest planning and management should consider different needs of visitors for recreational infrastructure.
