{"title":"Economic Contribution of the Forest Sector in Kentucky: Community Dependence and Economic Well-Being","authors":"Kamana Poudel, Thomas O Ochuodho, Gaurav Dhungel","doi":"10.1093/jofore/fvac038","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1093/jofore/fvac038","url":null,"abstract":"Rural communities depend on the forest sector to fulfill their subsistence needs and maintain economic well-being. The forest sector in Kentucky provides significant economic and employment opportunities to the rural communities in the state. Despite this, little is understood of how Kentucky communities’ dependence on the forest sector is related to their economic well-being. In this research, we divided Kentucky into three regions based on physiographic conditions and examine the economic contribution of the forest sector. We applied regression and correlation analyses to assess the relationship between forest sector dependence and economic well-being for Kentucky and for the three regions using common socioeconomic indicators for 2010 and 2017. Results indicate that although the forest sector plays a critical role in the livelihood of rural communities, its contribution is usually overshadowed by bigger sectors such as services and manufacturing. Accordingly, dependence on the forest sector usually results in a negative relationship with economic well-being. Study Implications: Forest activities are concentrated in rural and geographically difficult areas characterized by lower median income and limited employment opportunities and infrastructures. Although the forest sector plays an important role in the livelihood of rural communities, its contribution is typically obscured by large sectors such as services and manufacturing. Government intervention in rural infrastructure and workforce training would help to raise the livelihood of those in rural forest-dependent communities from persistent poverty. These results can be applied to devise strategies and advocate for and facilitate policies that ensure a continued role of the forest sector in Kentucky’s economy and in adjacent states with similar socioeconomic conditions.","PeriodicalId":15821,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Forestry","volume":"48 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2022-12-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138525476","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here we review the current state of knowledge after 24 years of research and monitoring, with a focus on Oregon, although the disease is significant in coastal Washington and has recently emerged in southwestern British Columbia. We present new insights into SNC distribution, landscape patterns, disease epidemiology and ecology, host-pathogen interactions, trophic and hydrologic influences, and the challenges of Douglas-fir plantation management in the presence of the disease. In Oregon, the SNC outbreak has remained geographically contained but has intensified. Finally, we consider the implications of climate change and other recently emerged foliage diseases on the future of Douglas-fir plantation management.</p>","PeriodicalId":15821,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Forestry","volume":"119 4","pages":"407-421"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2021-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1093/jofore/fvab011","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40403016","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With the increased use of plantation practices, it is important to understand the influence that forest plot characteristics have on the likelihood of where these practices are occurring. Depending on the goals of a policy or program, increasing forest planting could be a desirable outcome or something to avoid. This study estimates a spatially explicit logistical regression function to assess the likelihood that forest plots will be planted based on physical, climate, and economic factors. The empirical results are used to project the potential spatial distribution of forest planting, at the intensive and extensive land-use margins, across illustrative future scenarios. Results from this analysis offer insight into the factors that have driven forest planting in the United States historically and the potential distribution of new forest planting in the coming decades under policy or market scenarios that incentivize improved forest productivity or certain ecosystem services provided by intensively managed systems (e.g., carbon sequestration).</p>","PeriodicalId":15821,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Forestry","volume":"117 6","pages":"560-578"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/a0/82/nihms-1564530.PMC7061452.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"37722083","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We used snowball sampling in administering the survey. Survey results showed a high rate of job-related injury among the workers who responded to our survey. Results also suggested that many forestry services contractors licensed in Jackson and Josephine counties may not always follow labor laws. The vast majority of workers surveyed reported being fearful of retaliation for reporting injuries. There were no differences in reported working conditions and wage issues between workers with H-2B visas and other workers in the sample. This finding suggests that current US labor and health and safety laws are not effectively protecting Oregon's forest workers, owing to forest workers' structural vulnerability-their low positioning in social structures supported by immigration and economic status-compounded by fear of retaliation. Immigration policies and enforcement practices that contribute to creating a labor system with these inherent vulnerabilities and power imbalances need to be further examined and changed.</p>","PeriodicalId":15821,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Forestry","volume":"113 3","pages":"315-324"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2015-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.5849/jof.13-076","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"35999470","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
