In 2021, I attempted the Polish NAWA Postdoctoral Fellowhsip with the support of a veteran forestry scientist, Prof. Andrzej Bobiec, but my application was unsuccessful. Despite the failed application, we became a long-term collaborator. Today, one of the fruits of our collaboration (Bringing back cattle grazing to abandoned farmlands. A lesson from silvopastoral ecological intensification in the landscape of the Carpathian foothills, SE Poland), which was rejected by more than seven journals over ~2.5 years, has been published by the OLDEST SCIENTIFIC JOURNAL OF FORESTRY, SYLWAN.

サクラ日本Cherry blossom Japan： The Shizuoka Prefectural Agriculture and Forestry Research Institute Center in Japan announced the flowering forecast for Kawazu 河津cherry blossoms in the Kamo area. 20% bloom will occur on February 10th in Kawazu Town and on February 9th in Minamiizu Town. Compared to last year, Kawazu Town is 6 days earlier and Minamiizu Town is 5 days earlier. The best time to see them is also expected to be earlier than last year. Kawazu-zakura 河津桜is a cherry tree grown around Kawazu Town in Shizuoka Prefecture in central Japan. It is famous in Japan as an early-blooming cherry tree, and often blooms around early February throughout the year. #cherryblossomsjapan #kawadusakurajapan #shizuokakawadu #cherryjapan #sakurajapan #earlybloomcherryjapan #japansakura

I was delighted to share my research on the impact of climate change on forestry economy in Poland during the Forest Forum at the University of Rzeszów (14-15.04.2024). During the presentation, I introduced an intertemporal model conducting economic surplus analyses at the level of individual provinces. Preliminary results suggest a significant redistribution of surplus between wood consumers and producers. Furthermore, I highlighted the importance of wood imports from regions such as Russia and Scandinavian countries for domestic wood supply until 2100. #ClimateChange #EconomicAnalysis #ForestryManagement

📣 📣 Why community forestry in the Mayan rainforest of Mexico is losing ground, while middlemen and manufacturers are regaining control over forestry resources❓ 🤷♂️ 🌳 🌴 🌳 In this article, Associate Professor Andrei Marin from NMBU - Norwegian University of Life Sciences and I, analyse the case of an ejido in Southeastern Mexico which codesigned a commercialization platform to negotiate in the market from a position of strength. However, the platform was hampered by an internal rupture in the ejido; in investigating this rupture, we use the concept of institutional bricolage to understand local power struggles, and the theory of gradual change to search for historical causal mechanisms. ✔ We advocate for an institutional design that takes account of the unconscious and taken-for-granted meanings that influence institutional adaptation. ✔ We encourage development practitioners promoting community forestry enterprises in the Mayan rainforest of Mexico to address historical continuities in local institutions as a focal target of development interventions. 💡 You can read this open-access article published in the journal Development and Change 📃 https://lnkd.in/gnXGeDX6
