Bridging implementation gaps to connect large ecological datasets and complex models

Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Merging robust statistical methods with complex simulation models is a frontier for improving ecological inference and forecasting. However, bringing these tools together is not always straightforward.

From Dawn to Dusk: High-Resolution Tree Shading Model Based on Terrestrial LiDAR Data

Remote Sensing
Light availability and distribution play an important role in every ecosystem as these affect a variety of ecosystem processes and functions. To estimate light availability and distribution, light simulations can be used.

Forest succession after a major anthropogenic disturbance: a case study of the Jewish Forest in the Bohemian Forest, Czech Republic

Journal of Forest Science, 2014
The knowledge of forest development after disturbances, particularly anthropogenic disturbances, is of major importance for forest management. Many areas of mountain forests in Europe have been affected by human activities such as felling and livestock ...

Crown–branching trade-offs mediate growth and resilience to drought, frost, and masting under moderate thinning in European Beech (Fagus sylvatica L.)

Annals of Forest Science
Key message Thinning boosts radial growth in European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.), but more is not always better: moderate thinning offers the best vitality balance by keeping resilience comparable to heavily thinned trees, while reducing the sensitivity ...

Influence of crown morphology and branch architecture on tree radial growth of drought-affected Fagus sylvatica L.

Forest Ecosystems
Trees are able to adapt to changing environmental conditions through modifications in their crown morphology and branch architecture. In light-limited environments, tree structures are mainly optimised to increase light interception. This might have side

Linking radial growth patterns and moderate‐severity disturbance dynamics in boreal old‐growth forests driven by recurrent insect outbreaks: A tale of opportunities, successes, and failures

Ecology and Evolution, 2021
In boreal landscapes, emphasis is currently placed on close‐to‐nature management strategies, which aim to maintain the biodiversity and ecosystem services related to old‐growth forests.

The 3D reconstruction of wood and leaves from terrestrial laser scanning – a case study on PAR measurements below a solitary Malus domestica tree

Silva Fennica
In this paper, we present a new methodology that directly extracts the geometry of woody features (wood and bark) and foliage from 3D data originating from terrestrial laser scans.

Impact of the “Flavescence Dorée” Phytoplasma on Xylem Growth and Anatomical Characteristics in Trunks of ‘Chardonnay’ Grapevines (Vitis vinifera)

Biology, 2022
Flavescence dorée (FD) is a grapevine disease caused by ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma vitis’ (FDp), which is epidemically transmitted by the Nearctic leafhopper Scaphoideus titanus.

Transient Post-Fire Growth Recovery of Two Mediterranean Broadleaf Tree Species

Fire
Fires affect forest dynamics in seasonally dry regions such as the Mediterranean Basin. There, fire impacts on tree growth have been widely characterized in conifers, particularly pine species, but we lack information on broadleaf tree species that ...
