This paper analyzes the static resilience of global wood forest products trade networks across upstream, midstream, downstream, and recycling sectors using a complex directed weighted network approach. By examining topological features and resilience from 2002 to 2021, this study reveals significant structural evolution and scale expansion in these networks. It finds improvements in network efficiency and resilience, alongside an increase in weighted hierarchy highlighting the prominent roles of core countries like China, the US, and Germany. While these countries bolster network resilience, they also introduce certain vulnerabilities. This study finds notable disassortative mixing without trade volume weights and diversified trends with weights, offering new insights into network dynamics. Core nodes must address disruption risks, enhance diversity, and establish emergency response mechanisms. In the recycling sector, this paper highlights weak trade connections and low resilience, with the US maintaining dominance, China’s influence waning, and India’s rapid ascent. This paper concludes by emphasizing the need for refined indicator systems and deeper explorations into resilience enhancement strategies for operational and targeted suggestions.

With the intensification of global resource competition, the issue of timber supply has escalated from an economic concern to a significant strategic challenge. This study focuses on the evolution of disruption resilience in the global trade network for wood forest products, aiming to reveal the patterns of resilience dynamics under disruption risks by simulating underload cascading failure phenomena. The study provides theoretical support for enhancing the security and stability of the global wood forest product supply chain. Utilizing global trade data from the UN Comtrade Database 2023, a directed weighted complex network model was constructed, spanning upstream, midstream, and downstream sectors, with trade intensity distances serving as edge weights. By developing an underload cascading failure model, the evolution of disruption resilience was simulated under various disruption scenarios from 2002 to 2023, and the long-term impacts of critical node failures on network performance were analyzed. The results demonstrate significant spatiotemporal heterogeneity in the disruption resilience of the global wood forest product trade network. The upstream network exhibits improved resilience in total node strength but reduced global efficiency. The midstream network shows marked volatility in resilience due to external shocks, such as the global financial crisis, while the downstream network remains relatively stable. Simulations reveal that failures in core nodes (e.g., China, the United States, and Germany) disproportionately degrade global efficiency and node strength, with node centrality metrics positively correlated with network performance loss. This study elucidates the evolutionary mechanisms of disruption resilience in the wood forest product trade network under risk propagation, offering actionable insights for optimizing network robustness and supply chain stability. It is recommended that policymakers promote green supply chain initiatives, accelerate afforestation projects, and enhance domestic timber self-sufficiency to reduce reliance on imported timber, thereby strengthening node resilience and fostering sustainable forest resource utilization for economic and environmental benefits.

An environmentally friendly and economically efficient forest road network is the key to sustainable forest management, and it is essential to evaluate the sustainability of an established forest road network and to optimize the forest road network based on sustainability criteria. This study proposes a sustainability evaluation method for forest road networks. The evaluation index system was constructed by selecting 12 indices from the social, economic, and ecological dimensions. To improve the credibility of the weighting of the evaluation indicators, the evaluation indicators were assigned subjective and objective weights by the analytic hierarchy process and the entropy weight method, respectively, and the game theory idea was used to comprehensively assign the weights. The study area was chosen to be the Taohuajiang State-Owned Forest Farm, which is a national forest park and is also an ecological public welfare forest. The development of the forest road network in the social, economic, and environmental dimensions was calculated by adopting the evaluation method proposed in this study, and the sustainability of the forest road network in each subdivision of the study area was determined, to provide a detailed theoretical basis for the management to carry out the upgrading of the sustainability of the forest road network. The results derived from the evaluation methodology show that the sustainable development of the forest road network in the study area is “excellent”. At the same time, the level of sustainability of the forest road network in different areas of the study area was also evaluated. Finally, this paper puts forward policy recommendations for optimizing the sustainable development of forest road networks. The original sustainability evaluation method in this paper provides a scientific tool for assessing the degree of sustainable development of forest road networks, which contributes to optimizing the forest road networks.

On the basis of discussing the characteristics of logistics demand of communication information, communication information is divided into three categories which include dynamic, static and relevance. In order to fully grasp the dynamic communication information, a three layer platform of logistics distribution information system is designed. This is based on the 3rd generation mobile communication technology (3G), and expounding the composition and working principle of regional distribution centers. Then on-board information devices are designed, which is one of the most important logistics information terminals. The benefits of regional distribution information systems, based on 3G mobile communications technology, is illustrated using the example of taking on—board information devices together with real-time communication information to locate the shortest time line. The system can make vehicles receive communication information at anytime and anywhere, so it is more suitable to the characteristics of time-varying and dynamics of regional distribution information.

Based on the perspective of complex directed weighted network analysis, this paper constructs a static resilience evaluation framework for trade networks from two dimensions: structural resilience and node resilience. It studies the evolution of static resilience in the upstream, midstream, downstream, and recycling trade networks of global wood forest products from 2002 to 2021. The study finds that the total trade volume of global wood forest products has increased by 58.0%, 77.3%, 71.2%, and 77.2% in the upstream, midstream, downstream, and recycling sectors, respectively. The downstream trade network exhibits efficient information transmission and resource mobility capabilities. All four types of trade networks exhibit scale-free characteristics, with core countries such as China, the United States, and Germany playing a dominant role in the network and playing a crucial role in network robustness, but also increasing network vulnerability. In terms of unweighted assortativity, all four networks exhibit the characteristic of "small countries relying on hubs," while the weighted assortativity of the downstream network is positive, indicating enhanced network resilience. In terms of node resilience, countries exhibit significant differences and dynamic changes. China demonstrates strong resilience and adaptability, while the United States maintains its core position. China's influence in the downstream network has significantly increased, and India has rapidly emerged in the recycling network. To enhance network resilience, it is necessary to increase diversity and redundancy, establish effective emergency response mechanisms, and promote the diversification and green transformation of the supply chain.
