20.500.12556/RUL-148212 Words apart standardizing forestry terms and definitions across European biodiversity studies Forest biodiversity studies conducted across Europe use a multitude of forestry terms, often inconsistently. This hinders the comparability across studies and makes the assessment of the impacts of forest management on biodiversity highly context-dependent. Recent attempts to standardize forestry and stand description terminology mostly used a top-down approach that did not account for the perspectives and approaches of forest biodiversity experts. This work aims to establish common standards for silvicultural and vegetation definitions, creating a shared conceptual framework for a consistent study on the effects of forest management on biodiversity. We have identified both strengths and weaknesses of the silvicultural and vegetation information provided in forest biodiversity studies. While quantitative data on forest biomass and dominant tree species are frequently included, information on silvicultural activities and vegetation composition is often lacking, shallow, or based on broad and heterogeneous classifications. We discuss the existing classifications and their use in European forest biodiversity studies through a novel bottom-up and top-driven review process, and ultimately propose a common framework. This will enhance the comparability of forest biodiversity studies in Europe, and puts the basis for effective implementation and monitoring of sustainable forest management policies. The standards here proposed are potentially adaptable and applicable to other geographical areas and could be extended to other forest interventions. forest management multi-taxon terminology silviculture data harmonization gospodarjenje z gozdovi terminologija taksonomija gojenje gozdov usklajevanje definicij usklajevanje izrazoslovja true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2023-08-02 10:22:23 2023-08-02 10:22:35 2023-08-03 03:34:23 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2023 0 0 Str. 1-13 article no. ǂ100128 Vol. 10 2023 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2023-01-01 630*94:630*2:630*6 2197-5620 10.1016/j.fecs.2023.100128 160393219 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2197562023000593?via%3Dihub 1 e49ce613-310d-11ee-aeaf-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=172237 RAZ_Trentanovi_Giovanni_2023.pdf RAZ_Trentanovi_Giovanni_2023.pdf 1 WoR 07116CB4A81AF30B2D51C7D00F095306 93d1f1e59d03a14c31f881eb11bc983c3ee183b63752939caf42b8bf6578c606 f8aca7eb-310f-11ee-aeaf-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=172239 Biotehniška fakulteta 0 0 0
