Audit Reports

An analysis of CSA, FSC, and SFI audit conditions was conducted identifying areas requiring operational changes to obtain certification. Audit reports for each standard differed in both number and focus of requirements. The FSC audits required more changes in environmental, social and economic themes, while CSA and SFI audit reports emphasized changes in management systems and aquatic ecosystems management. Although not a guarantee of changes in operations and management, the audit conditions point towards areas where forest certification can potentially have impacts on forest management.Key words: forest certification, standards, audit conditions, forest management

Abundance And Diversity

Abstract. Ihsan M, Puspitarini RD, Afandhi A, Fernando I. 2021. Abundance and diversity of edaphic mites (Arachnida, Acari) under different forest management systems in Indonesia. Biodiversitas 22: 3685-3692. Edaphic mites play crucial roles in maintaining ecosystem services that are essential to human needs. However, the conversion of natural habitats followed by agricultural intensification may adversely affect edaphic mites. The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of different management systems on edaphic mite abundance, richness, and diversity in tropical rain forests in Indonesia. There were five forest management systems, which were as follows: secondary forest, production forest (pine monoculture), and three agroforestry systems (pine + coffee, mahogany + coffee, and mahogany + new cocoyam). We established a transect containing five research plots for each forest management system. Litter and soil from each plot were collected from December to March 2021. Temperature, relative humidity, and pH of litter and soil, as well as litter thickness, were measured. We found that edaphic mite abundance, richness, and diversity in the secondary forest were similar to managed forests. However, the aforementioned variables were significantly higher in “pine” systems than in “mahogany” systems. Our analysis evidenced positive correlations between litter thickness and edaphic mite abundance, richness, and diversity. Our findings may assist in selecting the appropriate forest management systems to rationalize the conversion of secondary forests to production forests and agroforestry.

AbstractThe paper analyses the complex economic models of continuous cover forestry based on the ‘Dauerwald’ principles in the early transformation period and in the traditional rotation system both in European beech (Fagus sylvaticaL.) and Turkey oak (Quercus cerrisL.) stands in central Hungarian study sites. The analysis was carried out on both the stand and estate-levels, and the performances were compared as well. We found that continuous cover forest management (CCF) can achieve at least the same economic efficiency as traditional rotation forest management (RF) in both beech and in Turkey oak stands. The regeneration problems occurring in poor quality sites in Turkey oak stands made visible the economic differences between the two management systems investigated.
