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.

Terrestrial laser scanning as a tool for assessing tree growth
iForest - Biogeosciences and Forestry, 2017 Terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) technology is a powerful tool for assessing tree growth based on time series analysis, as it allows a level of scrutiny not achievable using established destructive techniques.

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

Dendroecological Dating of Geomorphic Disturbance in Trees [PDF]
Tree-Ring Research, 2014 The initial employment of tree rings in geomorphic studies was simply as a dating tool and only rarely were other environmental information and records of damage contained within the tree exploited. However, these annually resolved tree-ring records also preserve valuable archives of past geomorphic processes on timescales of decades to centuries.

Forest Ecosystems, 2016 Background: The global search for new ways to sequester carbon has already reached agricultural lands. Such land constitutes a major potential carbon sink. The production of high value timber within agroforestry systems can facilitate an in-situ carbon

Modelling Shadow Using 3D Tree Models in High Spatial and Temporal Resolution
Remote Sensing, 2017 Information about the availability of solar irradiance for crops is of high importance for improving management practices of agricultural ecosystems such as agroforestry systems (AFS). Hence, the development of a high-resolution model that allows for the

A dendroecological study in a declining oak coppice stand [PDF]
Annales des Sciences Forestières, 1996 L'etude a concerne un taillis mixte (Quercus cerris L predominant), âge de 30 ans, situe pres de Tolfa, Rome, Italie. La zone est marquee par un surpâturage de bovins et l'absence de toute intervention sylvicole. Pour evaluer l'importance des differents facteurs relies au deperissement, la situation phytopathologique du peuplement a ete comparee avec ...

Forecasting Forest Vulnerability to Drought in Pyrenean Silver Fir Forests Showing Dieback
Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2020 Forest dieback is manifested as widespread loss of tree vigor, growth decline and high mortality rates. Forest dieback is becoming increasingly frequent and extended, particularly in drought-prone regions.
