Process models and model-data fusion in dendroecology [PDF]

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2014
Dendrochronology (i.e. the study of annually dated tree-ring time series) has proved to be a powerful technique to understand tree-growth. This paper intends to show the interest of using ecophysiological modeling not only to understand and predict tree ...

Diverse historical fire disturbance and successional dynamics in Douglas‐fir forests of the western Oregon Cascades, USA

Ecosphere
We created the first annually resolved records of historical fire occurrence coupled with precise estimates of tree establishment for the northern half of the west slope of the Oregon Cascades, a region that is home to some of the most productive forests

Gene Flow Across Large Distances in the Cavity-Nesting Wasp <i>Deuteragenia subintermedia</i> in a Central European Forest. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Retention forestry is widely considered a promising approach to conserve forest biodiversity, and beneficial effects of more heterogeneous forest structure have been shown for several taxa. However, it is often unclear if the approaches taken locally can provide connectivity for specimens over the landscape or if they lead to “biodiversity islands ...

Disentangling the effects of multifunctional forestry practices on the abundances of birds and their invertebrate prey. [PDF]

Ecol Appl
Abstract European forests are increasingly managed to harmonize production goals with biodiversity conservation, through practices such as retention and close‐to‐nature forestry. Forest birds may benefit from these practices, but it remains unclear how the effects of different management practices compare, and whether responses to management are driven

Flower power: Modeling floral resources of wild cherry (Prunus avium L.) for bee pollinators based on 3D data. [PDF]

Ecology
Abstract Pollinator declines pose a threat to ecosystems and food production. Agriculture contributes to, but also suffers from, the erosion of pollination services. Our study explores the potential of trees in agricultural landscapes to support pollinators by providing floral resources.

Emerging trend of increasing spring frost damage for beech at higher elevations in the Jura Mountains: evidence from tree-ring data. [PDF]

New Phytol
Summary Late spring frost (LSF) severely impacts tree growth and forest productivity, with global warming potentially altering LSF risk due to asymmetric changes in vegetation onset and frost timing. However, reconstructing past frost regimes with climatic and phenological data remains challenging. Using phenological models, high‐resolution climate and

Dendroecology in the tropics: a review [PDF]

Trees, 2010
Over the last decade the field of tropical dendroecology has developed rapidly and major achievements have been made. We reviewed the advances in three main themes within the field. First, long chronologies for tropical tree species were constructed which allowed climate reconstructions, revealed sources of climatic variation and clarified climate ...

Dendroecology in Asia [PDF]

Trees, 2013
Though centered in a core area of human settlement and agricultural activity since prehistoric times, and despite tremendous forest losses due to overexploitation and conversion processes, Asia still hosts large areas and a wide variety of ecologically contrasting forests.

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.
