This study addresses a critical limitation of Actor-centered Power (ACP) theory in Community-based Conservation (CBC) initiatives: its tendency to rely on predefined roles for actors, which can obscure the complex dynamics within communities. By integrating ACP theory with Scharpf's actor typology, this research aims to provide a framework that better reflects the nuanced power relationships both within communities and between communities and external actors. Using a comparative case study approach, we analyze three CBC programs in China to test this framework. Our findings underscore two key contributions. First, the combined framework allows for a more precise identification and analysis of power relations, revealing how internal and external actor roles shape community cohesion and collective action. Second, we highlight the significance of informational power in fostering communities' development as collective actors, thereby enhancing CBC effectiveness.
本研究解决了行动者为中心的权力(ACP)理论在社区保护(CBC)倡议中的一个关键局限性:它倾向于依赖预定义的行动者角色,这可能会模糊社区内复杂的动态。通过将ACP理论与Scharpf的行动者类型学相结合,本研究旨在提供一个更好地反映社区内部以及社区与外部行动者之间微妙权力关系的框架。采用比较案例研究的方法,我们分析了中国的三个CBC项目来检验这一框架。我们的发现强调了两个关键贡献。首先,综合框架允许对权力关系进行更精确的识别和分析,揭示内部和外部行动者角色如何塑造社区凝聚力和集体行动。第二,我们强调信息力量在促进社区作为集体行动者的发展方面的重要性,从而提高CBC的有效性。

In addressing global environmental challenges such as biodiversity loss, climate change, and the degradation of vulnerable ecosystems, the role of forest owners and their cooperation is essential. Despite the evident potential of cooperation, the interaction among forest owners remains an underexplored area, particularly concerning the factors that influence forest owners' willingness to cooperate. This study focuses on various forms of forest owner cooperation, ranging from shared goals to the joint implementation of management actions. We apply the theory of planned behavior to understand forest owners' intentions to cooperate based on their attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, and related beliefs. 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. The findings suggest that emphasizing the environmental benefits of cooperation can be a key strategy in persuading forest owners to cooperate.
在应对生物多样性丧失、气候变化和脆弱生态系统退化等全球环境挑战时,森林所有者的作用及其合作至关重要。尽管有明显的合作潜力,但森林所有者之间的相互作用仍然是一个未得到充分探索的领域,特别是在影响森林所有者合作意愿的因素方面。这项研究的重点是各种形式的森林所有者合作,从共同目标到共同执行管理行动。本文运用计划行为理论,从态度、主观规范、感知行为控制和相关信念等方面分析了森林所有者的合作意向。利用芬兰东部的调查数据,结果表明森林所有者的合作意愿主要受到他们的态度的影响。这些对合作的态度在很大程度上是由一系列主要以环境为导向的行为信念所塑造的。研究结果表明,强调合作的环境效益可能是说服森林所有者合作的关键策略。

Forests in Germany are experiencing crises due to climate change, dry summers, storms, and widespread damage from pests and diseases. 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.
由于气候变化、夏季干燥、风暴和病虫害的广泛破坏,德国的森林正在经历危机。通过了解私人森林所有者如何经历所有权和气候变化造成的森林干扰,本研究为更好地满足具有家族传统的森林所有者的需求并为政策决策和实施提供了有价值的见解。关于森林干扰的文献主要集中在森林工业的经济意义及其生态后果上。虽然研究表明,严重的风暴和大风会改变森林所有者的身份,导致意识和情绪反应的转变,但重大森林干扰的心理影响仍未得到探索。森林扰动对森林所有者的心理所有权和随后的管理反应的影响尚未得到调查,留下了重大的研究空白。本研究发现:(1)林主心理所有权存在不同的维度和表现;(2)森林扰动以不同的方式影响林主心理所有权的三条路径,导致林主心理所有权动机发生变化。与森林的联系和代际森林家庭传统是受到干扰挑战的与森林有关的身份的重要方面。然而,传统的森林所有者将干扰纳入他们的叙述,并通过进一步的知识获取和更大的自我投资来抵消控制权的丧失。我们建议点对点学习和交流,以培养心理所有权,并解决不同的知识,价值观和身份。

Tribal leaders in Papua had been positioned as both cultural symbols and real decision-making leaders, but they have lost their power over natural resource management and forests. Using the case of nutmeg management by the tribal Baham-Matta community, we present changes in the power constellations within the local social structures, in which the Kings (Patuans), the highest tribal leaders, have increasingly been unable to rule their people. 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 Patuans 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.
巴布亚的部落领袖一直被定位为文化象征和真正的决策领袖,但他们已经失去了对自然资源管理和森林的权力。以Baham-Matta部落社区管理肉豆蔻为例,我们展示了当地社会结构中权力结构的变化,在这种结构中,最高部落领导人国王(Patuans)越来越无法统治他们的人民。在本研究中,我们主要采用以行动者为中心的权力理论框架,辅以以历史时间线为中心的序贯权力分析方法,以更好地把握随着时间推移的权力争夺。我们发现,帕图人已经失去了他们的关键权力来源/要素,这是一种主导信息、激励/抑制和胁迫的混合体,这些因素源于文化上根深蒂固的信念,即他们的精神力量、自然资源管理方面的知识和技能,以及与贸易商的垄断联系。与此同时,社区成员通过与外部贸易商的直接接触获得了新的权力,使他们能够按照自己的意愿行事。有关肉豆蔻管理的权力配置的变化是由更广泛的结构(外部)背景的变化驱动的。具体来说,我们认为国家引入新的权属和管理制度在部落社区内创造了新的社会和权力关系。目前的权属改革举措,如社会林业政策,需要考虑传统制度,如肉豆蔻管理,这是部落社区的主要生计来源。

The National Forest City Construction (NFCC) initiative aims to improve regional greening levels, optimize ecosystem services, and achieve sustainable development. 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.
国家森林城市建设(NFCC)旨在提高区域绿化水平,优化生态系统服务,实现可持续发展。这一政策是推进生态城镇化,通过绿色转型促进城乡经济协调发展的重要举措。作为一项综合性的生态倡议,NFCC通过各种意想不到的渠道刺激当地就业。本研究采用交错差中差(DID)方法,分析了2002年至2019年中国289个地级市的面板数据集,考察了NFCC对就业的影响。我们发现,与没有实施该政策的地区相比,NFCC在实施该政策的地区平均增加了7.08%的当地就业。该政策通过以下几个机制促进就业:(1)刺激森林相关产业的增长并提高企业绩效;(2)改善生态环境以创造间接就业机会;(3)促进当地基础设施的发展,从而创造额外的就业机会并吸引技术工人。异质性分析表明,NFCC的好处超出了第一部门,推动了制造业和服务业的就业增长,特别是在森林丰富地区的私营和自营职业者中。这些发现表明,政府主导的绿色倡议在促进灵活就业机会和解决传统行业失业问题方面具有潜力。为了使长期效益最大化,我们建议在职业培训和劳动力发展方面进行有针对性的投资,以满足绿色经济的需求。

A social-ecological approach to local forest conflict analysis and shaping 地方森林冲突分析与塑造的社会生态学方法

Against the backdrop of the climate crisis, forest conflicts are intensifying in Germany. For this reason, it is time to reopen the scientific debate on how we research and manage forest conflicts. In this commentary, we argue that a social-ecological approach takes into account the interactions and interdependencies between social and physical structures and processes of forest conflicts. Consequently, the approach helps to analyse and shape these conflicts.
A social-ecological approach facilitates the consideration of the physical, social, cultural, political and economic aspects of the forest conflicts as well as the dynamics and contexts of different conflicts. It contributes to analysing the site-specific conditions, parameters and dynamics of local forest conflicts. Four shaping dimensions (knowledge, practices, technologies, institutions) can help to relate the conflicts more precisely to the social-ecological system. Against this background, in particular the social context of the conflicts can be analysed in detail.
In turn, a social-ecological approach to conflict management opens up the possibility of initiating change in social and physical interactions and interdependencies. The concept of conflict transformation can complement the social-ecological approach in an action-oriented way, both by contributing to social learning among the conflict actors and by generating ways of dealing with the particular forest that are adapted to new challenges.
在气候危机的背景下,德国的森林冲突正在加剧。出于这个原因,现在是时候重新开始关于我们如何研究和管理森林冲突的科学辩论了。在这篇评论中,我们认为社会生态方法考虑到社会和物理结构以及森林冲突过程之间的相互作用和相互依存关系。因此,这种方法有助于分析和塑造这些冲突。

Community-based forest management has gained global prominence and this commentary explores the socio-ecological dynamics of forest management in India, highlighting its role in biodiversity conservation, carbon sequestration, and forest regeneration. Community management has shown significant ecological improvements in areas of forest health, economic benefits and climate mitigation. However, certain challenges persist which includes anthropogenic disturbances, inequitable benefit sharing, and exclusion of marginalized groups. The integration of indigenous knowledge, economic factors, and gender equity into forest governance strategies is critical for the long-term success of these programs. Drawing on India's policy and community-driven experiences, this policy forum offers actionable recommendations for global policymakers to ensure effective forest governance.
以社区为基础的森林管理已获得全球关注,本评论探讨了印度森林管理的社会生态动态,强调了其在生物多样性保护、碳封存和森林再生方面的作用。社区管理在森林健康、经济效益和减缓气候变化方面显示出显著的生态改善。然而,某些挑战仍然存在,包括人为干扰、不公平的利益分享和排斥边缘群体。将土著知识、经济因素和性别平等纳入森林治理战略对这些项目的长期成功至关重要。根据印度的政策和社区驱动的经验,该政策论坛为全球决策者提供了可行的建议,以确保有效的森林治理。

Forests are complex adaptive systems (CAS) featuring dynamics that can take centuries to unfold. Managing them for multiple objectives (e.g. financial performance, climate regulation, biodiversity conservation, watershed protection) in the face of multiple risks (e.g. market fluctuations, illegal logging, natural disturbance) involves making decisions under deep and pervasive uncertainty. Through a systematic literature review, we explore quantitative approaches for integrating uncertainty and complex-systems theory into forest management planning and examine common challenges like dimensionality, tractability and realism. In addition to comparatively well-studied techniques from operations research and portfolio theory, we highlight a largely-overlooked framework known as viability theory. Whereas approaches like stochastic programming and robust optimization seek to maximize performance given predefined outcome probabilities and uncertainty spaces, respectively, viability theory aims to identify executive rules that can delineate the boundaries of the safe-operating space based on system dynamics. We discuss the potential utility of this novel approach to capturing uncertainty and examine potential barriers to improving forest decision-making and management.
森林是复杂的适应系统(CAS),其动态特征可能需要几个世纪才能展现出来。面对多重风险(如市场波动、非法采伐、自然干扰),为实现多重目标(如财务业绩、气候调节、生物多样性保护、流域保护)而管理森林涉及在深刻和普遍的不确定性下做出决策。通过系统的文献综述,我们探索了将不确定性和复杂系统理论整合到森林管理规划中的定量方法,并研究了诸如维度、可追溯性和现实性等常见挑战。除了运筹学和投资组合理论中相对较好的研究技术外,我们还强调了一个被忽视的框架,即可行性理论。尽管随机规划和鲁棒优化等方法分别寻求在给定预定义的结果概率和不确定性空间的情况下实现性能最大化,但可行性理论旨在确定可以根据系统动力学划定安全操作空间边界的执行规则。我们讨论了这种捕捉不确定性的新方法的潜在效用,并检查了改善森林决策和管理的潜在障碍。

Our study focuses on key state-owned forest areas in China, utilizing the talent ecosystem theory and combining Necessary Condition Analysis (NCA) with fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA) to identify the necessary and sufficient conditions for the aggregation of forestry scientific and technological talents in 87 forestry enterprises. We analyze the complex causal relationships between forestry scientific and technological talents aggregation and five factors within the talent ecosystem: forestry enterprise economic conditions, forestry enterprise scientific and technological quality, forestry enterprise work opportunities, forestry enterprise living security, and forestry enterprise infrastructure. The NCA method quantitatively examines whether these five factors are necessary conditions for forestry scientific and technological talents aggregation, as well as their bottleneck levels. Meanwhile, the fsQCA method qualitatively explores multiple equivalent paths that lead to high aggregation of forestry scientific and technological talents through the interaction of these factors. 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. Lastly, typical case studies of forestry enterprises were selected to deeply analyze each path that enhances forestry scientific and technological talents aggregation. These findings provide insights from key state-owned forest areas for optimizing the talent ecosystem and promoting the aggregation of forestry scientific and technological talents in both China and globally.
本文以中国重点国有林区为研究对象,运用人才生态系统理论,结合必要条件分析(NCA)和模糊集定性比较分析(fsQCA),对87家林业企业的林业科技人才集聚的充分必要条件进行了分析。分析了林业科技人才集聚与人才生态系统内林业企业经济条件、林业企业科技质量、林业企业工作机会、林业企业生活保障、林业企业基础设施五个因素之间复杂的因果关系。NCA方法定量考察了这五个因素是否为林业科技人才集聚的必要条件,以及它们的瓶颈程度。同时,fsQCA方法通过这些因素的相互作用,定性地探索了导致林业科技人才高度聚集的多重等效路径。结论如下:第一,NCA和fsQCA结果均表明,人才生态系统中没有单一要素是林业科技人才聚集的必要条件;其次,fsQCA结果揭示了促进人才高聚集的五种有效配置,而抑制人才高聚集的三种有效配置。最后,选取林业企业典型案例,深入分析促进林业科技人才集聚的各路径。这些研究结果为优化中国乃至全球林业科技人才生态系统、促进林业科技人才聚集提供了参考。

The significance of urban forests and green spaces is unquestionable, yet their maintenance is frequently hindered by the conflicting interests of various actors and power imbalances. Unfortunately, despite the vast recognition by many scholars that power is central to resource management, the subject has not received deserving attention in urban forestry and green spaces studies. This paper bridges this knowledge gap. It explores the actors, interest and power in urban forest and green spaces management as well as the sources of power of the various actors and what mechanisms do actors use to exert power and influence on the management of urban forest and green spaces. Relying on the actor-centered power (ACP) framework and a case study design, about 32 key informants and 396 urban residents were interviewed in the study. The research findings of the paper unveiled that various actors have interest in urban forest and green spaces for the ecosystem services and the problems they bestow on humanity. However, power is not uniformly distributed among the various actors who exert influence through a variety of mechanisms, including coercion and dominant information from which power is observed. The resultant effects were conflicting managerial roles and responsibilities for green spaces management affecting the sustainability of such space. By recognizing that power is dynamic but not solely concentrated within formal institutions but distributed among various actors with diverse interests and capacities, we recommend a more inclusive approach to urban forests and green spaces management. It necessitates the need for inclusive and transparent governance structure that consider the needs and dynamics of actors to ensure sustainable and equitable urban forest and green space management.
城市森林和绿地的重要性毋庸置疑,但它们的维护往往受到各方利益冲突和权力不平衡的阻碍。不幸的是,尽管许多学者广泛认识到权力是资源管理的核心,但这一主题在城市林业和绿地研究中并未得到应有的重视。本文弥合了这一知识鸿沟。它探讨了城市森林和绿地管理中的行为者、利益和权力,以及各种行为者的权力来源,以及行为者使用什么机制来施加权力和影响城市森林和绿地的管理。基于行动者中心权力(ACP)框架和案例研究设计,本研究对32名关键举报人和396名城市居民进行了访谈。研究结果表明,城市森林和绿地的生态系统服务及其给人类带来的问题引起了各方的兴趣。然而,权力并不是均匀地分布在各种行动者之间,这些行动者通过各种机制施加影响,包括强制和观察权力的主导信息。由此产生的影响是相互冲突的管理角色和责任的绿色空间管理影响了这种空间的可持续性。认识到权力是动态的,但不只是集中在正式机构内,而是分布在具有不同利益和能力的各种行动者之间,我们建议采取更具包容性的方法来管理城市森林和绿地。这就需要建立包容和透明的治理结构,考虑到行动者的需求和动态,以确保可持续和公平的城市森林和绿色空间管理。
