Evidence of the association between deadwood and forest recreational site choices

Philipp Sacher et al.

Summary: The level of biodiversity, including in forests, is declining. Changes in forest management, such as increasing deadwood, can help reverse this decline. However, the presence of more natural forest structures, especially deadwood, may negatively affect forest recreation. This study found that the amount of deadwood does not influence recreation site preferences, but the quality attributes of deadwood, such as structural variety and decomposition, have a positive impact. Improving habitats for rare and endangered species is also important to respondents. Conflicts between recreationists and increased deadwood occurrence are not as severe as commonly assumed by forest managers.

Landowner Acceptability of Silvicultural Treatments to Restore an Open Forest Landscape

Arne Arnberger et al.

Summary: This study examined the acceptability of different silvicultural treatments for restoring pine barrens. The results showed that the acceptability ratings generally declined as the treatments became more intensive and created greater openness on the landscape. Information recipients found selective openings and fire treatments more acceptable. The findings have implications for designing and communicating the purpose and value of restoration treatments to stakeholder groups.

Economic contributions of wildlife management areas in North Carolina

William R. Casola et al.

Summary: Wildlife management areas (WMAs) contribute significantly to local and state economies. While hunting and fishing are the most obvious economic activities, other forms of recreation also play a major role. Estimating the economic contribution of all recreationists can inform decision-making and management of public lands. In North Carolina, recreation on protected lands primarily designated for hunting, fishing, and wildlife conservation generated approximately 2200 jobs, $84 million USD in annual labor income, and $140 million USD in value added annually.

Users' recreation choices and setting preferences for trails in urban forests in Nanjing, China

Xinxin Wang et al.

Summary: This study investigated the recreational choices and behavior-based setting preferences of hiking trail users in Purple Mountain Forest Park, Nanjing, China. The results showed that visitors' choices were influenced by personal attributes, usage patterns, visitor motivations, and preferences for the trail's landscape attributes. The findings provide valuable insights for the design and maintenance of trail settings in forest parks to meet the needs of different recreational hikers.

Management of Recreational Forests in the Romanian Carpathians

Gheorghe-Marian Tudoran et al.

Summary: By studying the structural diversity indicators of mountain forests, the recreational potential of these forests can be determined, but the management must consider the needs of all interested parties. Structural and species diversity indices can be used to monitor forest changes and evaluate recreational potential.

Soundscape Perceptions and Preferences for Different Groups of Users in Urban Recreational Forest Parks

Xingyue Fang et al.

Summary: This study surveyed individuals in typical urban forest recreational parks in Xi'an, China to assess how their perceptions and preferences for soundscapes may differ. The results showed that rare natural sounds were perceived more positively than dominating artificial sounds, and factors such as familiarity with the park, education level, companionship, and recreational use influenced sound perception and preference. The findings suggest that human-oriented soundscape design can enhance people's well-being in urban forest recreational parks.

Arne Arnberger et al.

Summary: The study found that visitors prefer natural features such as floodplain forests combined with meadows or xeric alluvial biotopes, while dense forests and open agrarian structures are less preferred. Water bodies with 50% reed cover, few people on the trail, alleys of trees and gravel trails were favored.
