Abstract

Abstract Forest road network planning and development is important in providing accessibility to remote forest areas for timber harvesting, transportation to markets, and recreational activities, as well as preventing environmental degradation, soil erosion, water pollution, and an increased risk of forest fires and wildlife habitat fragmentation. Within the context that careful forest road transportation planning and design promotes sustainable forest management and development, this paper develops a multilayer network model for supporting sustainable forest transportation development. The model builds on a total environment conceptualization and the network paradigm, and it is composed of several layers, each containing information from an environmental aspect or a forest road network land use. By using community detection analysis from network science, the model provides insights into the decomposition of the forest network into functional areas, highlights the importance of places that connect different communities to maintain market integration, and provides a list of policies and good practices for the resulting communities. Overall, this paper presents a quantitative methodological framework that can be used for sustainable forest transportation.

可持续森林运输的模块化总环境网络模型

森林道路网络的规划和发展在为偏远森林地区提供木材采伐、市场运输和娱乐活动的可达性，以及防止环境退化、土壤侵蚀、水污染，以及增加森林火灾和野生动物栖息地破碎化的风险方面具有重要意义。在精心的森林道路交通规划设计促进森林可持续经营与发展的背景下，本文建立了支持森林交通可持续发展的多层网络模型。该模型建立在总体环境概念和网络范式的基础上，它由几个层组成，每个层包含来自环境方面或森林道路网络土地利用的信息。通过使用网络科学的社区检测分析，该模型提供了将森林网络分解为功能区的见解，强调了连接不同社区以保持市场一体化的地方的重要性，并为由此产生的社区提供了一系列政策和良好实践。总体而言，本文提出了一个可用于可持续森林运输的定量方法框架。

期刊介绍： 1) Aims & Scope: Euro-Mediterranean Journal for Environmental Integration (EMJE) is a regional peer-reviewed journal that presents original research studies and reviews in all areas of the Environmental Sciences from the Mediterranean and surrounding regions. The journal highlights research into potential solutions for environmental concerns and protection requirements on the basis of innovative approaches that contribute to preserving a sustainable environment in the region. In particular, the journal’s goal is to provide a scientific forum that promotes the exchange of knowledge and fosters collaborations between the countries of the northern and southern shores of the Mediterranean. In addition, the journal seeks to make decision makers from related sectors aware of the importance of integrating environmental considerations into their respective activities. It combines a unique focus on interdisciplinary cooperation (natural sciences, technology and engineering, and social sciences) with the broader focus on solution-based sustainability research, combined with regional specification: Euro-Mediterranean area (encompasses all the European countries and the countries on the Mediterranean Rim). 2) Major Topics / Submission Tracks: Authors submit by selecting the appropriate major topic (subject category) among 13 topics, each is managed by a Chief Editor: Track 1. Engineering applications for environmental management Track 2. Process control, simulations and intensification for environmental management Track 3. Ecotoxicology, environmental safety and bioremediation Track 4. Biotechnology for environmental management Track 5. Climate-change-related effects on the environment and ecological systems Track 6. Natural resources, agriculture and the environment Track 7. Smart technologies for environmentally friendly energy production Track 8. Remote sensing and GIS for environmental monitoring and management Track 9. Environmental impacts of natural hazards and environmental risk assessment Track 10. Sustainable management of marine and coastal environments Track 11. Sustainable management of the urban environment, the indoor and built environment Track 12. Ecosystems and biodiversity conservation Track 13. Environmental-change-related impacts on human, animal, and ecosystem health 3) Environmental Integration: Euro-Mediterranean Journal for Environmental Integration seeks to make decision makers from related sectors aware of the importance of integrating environmental considerations into their respective activities. The integration of environmental concerns into policy decisions (Environmental Integration) must be intensified in order to move towards sustainable development. In this context, the journal supports the European Commission – Environment and other official organizations in the region in their mission to protect, preserve and improve the Euro-Mediterranean environment for present and future generations. 4) Evaluation process: After technical check and screening for English quality all new submissions are automatically screened using CrossCheck within the editorial system to detect cases of suspected plagiarism. Editors are also able to run a similarity report at any other point during the review process or post-publication. All manuscripts are subject to a double-blind peer review process during at least 2 rounds coordinated by a Chief Editor responsible for the respective submission track (major topic). The average time from submission until the final decision is eight months. The acceptance rate is around 30%. The evaluation workflow is supervised and monitored by 2 Editors-in-Chief, one based on the northern shore of the Mediterranean and the other on the southern shore. 5) Indexation: Euro-Mediterranean Journal for Environmental Integration is published by Springer in collaboration with scientists based around the Mediterranean basin. It has started publishing its first volume in 2016. In 2019, it has achieved successfully the Web of Science ESCI indexation. It is currently under evaluation for indexation by Scopus. 6) Journal''s Conference: Euro-Mediterranean Journal for Environmental Integration has its own conference aiming at gathering scientists from both shores of the Mediterranean to discuss the newest findings on the most pressing environmental issues: 1st Euro-Mediterranean Conference for Environmental Integration (www.emcei.net/2017) 2nd Euro-Mediterranean Conference for Environmental Integration (www.emcei.net) The Proceedings of the 1st EMCEI has been indexed in the Web of Science Conference Proceedings Citation Index – Science (CPCI-S). The Proceedings of the 2nd EMCEI will appear on Springer Series Environmental Science and Engineering which is indexed in Scopus. Link to EMCEI Proceedings: https://link.springer.com/conference/emcei 7) Journal''s Editorial Meeting: The editorial meeting of the journal is held every year on the first day of EMCEI (journal''s conference). 8) Journal Editorial Policy: Euro-Mediterranean Journal for Environmental Integration is committed to upholding the integrity of the scientific record. As a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) the journal will follow the COPE guidelines on how to deal with potential acts of misconduct. Authors should refrain from misrepresenting research results which could damage the trust in the journal and ultimately the entire scientific endeavor. Maintaining integrity of the research and its presentation can be achieved by following the rules of good scientific practice as detailed here: https://www.springer.com/us/editorial-policies
