The main provisions of the theory of reflective action of law are considered in the article. The manifestation of law reflexes in modern legal regulation is analysed on the example of land relations. Land, as the basis of life and activity of peoples who live in the territory of the Russian Federation, acts not only as an economic good and a natural resource, but also as the object of a number of property and personal non-property relations connected with them. The institution of public land easement is considered by the authors to be a reflex of law, that is, the restriction of the subjective right of a particular owner of a land plot in the interests of society, the state. The issue of the limitation of the right of land private ownership is raised on the basis of an analysis of legislation and judicial practice. The problem of the limits of the action of public easements simultaneously aimed not only at the normal exercise of all property rights by the land plot owner, but also at preserving the favourable state of the environment, at ensuring the subjective rights of other participants in land legal relations, at the implementation of a single land policy of the state indicated in the context of the development of land legislation of the Russian Federation. The conclusion, that the use of the right reflex construction has a beneficial effect on strengthening legal certainty in the face of imbalances in private and public interests in land law, is made.

Abstract Based on survey data from 218 southern public land-use professionals, it was found that: (1) the most frequently noted reason for the creation of observed southern agroforestry systems was economic gain; (2) almost two-thirds reported that they would consider recommending some form of agroforestry in appropriate situations; (3) the most commonly supplied reason for rejecting the agroforestry option was the perceived high level of uncertainty associated with this unproven land use; and (4) despite their modest expectations about the level of adoption of agroforestry systems over the next decade on private and public lands, they agreed rather strongly that extension services should make a determined effort to encourage southern landowners to adopt agroforestry systems when appropriate. In order to help landowners realize the value of agroforestry systems' degree of flexibility, multidisciplinary teams of land-use professionals should provide periodic updates regarding factors that may influence profitable switches in output mixes.

A forest-level model is developed that estimates how policies towards hybrid poplar plantations on private and public land impact harvest levels and values for producing biofuel feedstock. We simulate three policy changes: 1) permitting an increase in harvest levels on public land as a result of establishing hybrid poplar plantations on private land; 2) permitting the establishment of hybrid poplar plantations on public land; and 3) including forest carbon emission offsets in the net benefits realized by the forest operator. We are interested in whether the increase in harvest created by the policies might be enough to supply a biorefinery, and how the value of the operation changes. Our results suggest that jointly managing public and private lands under sustained yield can increase harvest by between 7% and 93%, and increase the value of the operation by between 39% and 263%. Results also suggest that hybrid poplar plantations could enable a leaseholder of one million hectares of public forestland to initiate an allowable cut effect and thereby increase harvest enough to supply a new biorefinery, in addition to its existing pulp mill. Carbon offsets further increase the value of the forest, although harvest begins to decline at high carbon prices.

What remains of Australia’s native forests are important to Aboriginal people for environmental, cultural and economic reasons. Managers of forests in protected areas at State and Commonwealth levels have policies for involving Aboriginal people in forest management and for protecting the intangible and tangible values that Aboriginal people place on forests, but there are limited opportunities for significant economic returns to Aboriginal communities. Outside of conservation reserves, there are native timber production forests on crown land, plantations on private and public land and, forests on Aboriginal land, that offer a range of opportunities for Aboriginal people to engage with forest industries. Cultural traditions and values continue to play a role but they are manifest in different ways, depending on the local situation.

For seventy-five years the Mexican government allocated private and public land to people who needed it—and lots of it. An average of 1.3 million hectares were redistributed annually from 1917 to 1992, for a total of nearly 1 million square kilometers, or, almost exactly half of the nation’s arable area. On the other hand, serious flaws in government policy, coupled with macroeconomic, demographic, and environmental phenomena, undermined the program and turned its signature component, the ejido, into a synonym for rural backwardness and poverty. Thus, in spite of the astonishing volume of redistributed land, many assert that revolutionary land reform in Mexico failed: that it did not permanently improve the lives of rural land recipients as much as convert them into clients of the government.
