Using survey data from eastern Finland, the results demonstrate that a forest owners' intentions to cooperate are predominantly influenced by their attitudes. These attitudes towards cooperation are largely shaped by a set of behavioral beliefs that are primarily environmentally oriented.

By understanding how private forest owners experience ownership and forest disturbances due to climate change, this study provides valuable insights to better meet the needs of forest owners with family tradition and inform policy decisions and implementations. The literature on forest disturbances primarily concentrates on the economic significance for the forest industry and its ecological consequences. Although studies have shown that severe storms and windthrows alter forest owners' identities and lead to shifts in awareness and emotional responses, the psychological effects of significant forest disturbances remain unexplored. The impact of forest disturbances on forest owners' psychological ownership and subsequent management responses has yet to be investigated, leaving a significant research gap. In this study, we show (a) that different dimensions and manifestations of psychological ownership can be observed among forest owners and (b) that forest disturbances influence all three pathways of forest owners' psychological ownership in various ways, resulting in changes of the motives of psychological ownership. Connectedness to the forest and intergenerational forest family tradition are essential aspects of forest-related identities challenged by disturbances. However, traditional forest owners integrate disturbances into their narrations and counterbalance the loss of control through further knowledge acquisition and greater self-investment. We suggest peer-to-peer learning and communication to foster psychological ownership and address diverse knowledge, values, and identities.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":12451,"journal":{"name":"Forest Policy and Economics","volume":"172 ","pages":"Article 103422"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142967771","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this research, we mainly employed the theoretical framework of Actor-centered Power, complemented by the Sequential Power Analysis approach, centered on historical timelines to better grasp the power contestation over time. We found that the <em>Patuans</em> have lost their key power sources/elements, a blend of dominant information, incentives/disincentives, and coercion stemming from the culturally entrenched beliefs held about their spiritual strengths, knowledge and skills in natural resource management and monopolistic contacts with traders. At the same time, community members have gained new power by accessing direct contacts with external traders, enabling them to act according to their own will. The change in the power configuration regarding nutmeg management has been driven by changes in the broader structural (external) context. Specifically, we argue that the introduction of new tenure and administration systems by the state created new social and power relations within the tribal community. The current tenure reform initiatives such as social forestry policies need to consider traditional systems such as nutmeg management, which constitute a key source of livelihood for the tribal community.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":12451,"journal":{"name":"Forest Policy and Economics","volume":"172 ","pages":"Article 103424"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142967770","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This policy serves as a key measure to promote eco-friendly urbanization and facilitate coordinated economic development in both urban and rural areas through green transitions. As a comprehensive ecological initiative, the NFCC stimulates local employment through various unexpected channels. This study examines the employment effects of the NFCC using a staggered difference-in-differences (DID) approach, analyzing a panel dataset of 289 prefectures in China from 2002 to 2019. We find that the NFCC increased local employment by an average of 7.08 % in prefectures adopting the policy compared to those without implementation. The policy promotes employment through several mechanisms: (1) stimulating growth in forest-related industries and enhancing business performance, (2) improving the ecological environment to generate indirect job opportunities, and (3) promoting local infrastructure development, which creates additional jobs and attracts skilled workers. Heterogeneity analysis reveals that NFCC benefits extend beyond the primary sector, driving employment growth in manufacturing and service sectors, particularly among private and self-employed workers in forest-rich regions. These findings demonstrate the potential of government-led green initiatives to foster flexible employment opportunities and address job losses in traditional sectors. To maximize long-term benefits, we recommend targeted investments in vocational training and workforce development to align with the demands of the green economy.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":12451,"journal":{"name":"Forest Policy and Economics","volume":"172 ","pages":"Article 103421"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142967772","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The conclusions are as follows: First, both NCA and fsQCA results indicate that no single element of the talent ecosystem is a necessary condition for the aggregation of forestry scientific and technological talents. Second, the fsQCA results reveal five effective configurations that facilitate high aggregation of talents, while three configurations inhibit high aggregation.

These include optimizing resource allocation within LULUCF, establishing methods to assess the effectiveness of climate finance, facilitating constructive dialogue with development partners, improving data collection and project design and alternative financing mechanisms.
