Forest Disturbance Types and Current Analogs for Historical Disturbance-Independent Forests
Land, 2021 Forest classifications by disturbance permit designation of multiple types of both old growth forests and shorter-lived forests, which auto-replace under severe disturbance, and also identification of loss of the disturbance type and associated forest ...

Soil erodibility in European mountain beech forests [PDF]
Canadian Journal of Forest Research, 2021 Forests in Europe are currently not endangered by soil erosion. However, this can change with climate change or with intensified forest management practices. Using a newly established network of plots in beech forests across Europe, the aims of this study were to (i) distinguish soil properties and erodibility indices in relation to bedrock, (ii ...

Environmental change impacts on the C- and N-cycle of European forests: a model comparison study [Discussion paper] [PDF]
, 2012 Forests are important components of the greenhouse gas balance of Europe. There is considerable uncertainty about how predicted changes to climate and nitrogen deposition will perturb the carbon and nitrogen cycles of European forests and thereby alter ...

Linkages between Phosphorus and Plant Diversity in Central European Forest Ecosystems—Complementarity or Competition? [PDF]
, 2019 The phosphorus nutrition status of European forests has decreased significantly in recent decades. For a deeper understanding of complementarity and competition in terms of P acquisition in temperate forests, we have analyzed α-diversity, organic layer ...

Ice storm effects on the canopy structure of a northern hardwood forest after 8 years [PDF]
, 2009 Ice storms can cause severe damage to forest canopies, resulting in differential mortality among tree species and size classes and leading to long-lasting changes in the vertical structure and composition of the forest.
