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

Variability of European beech wood density as influenced by interactions between tree-ring growth and aspect

Forest Ecosystems, 2016
Background: Wood density is considered to be the most important predictor of wood quality but despite its importance, diffuse-porous tree species have been the subject of only a limited number of studies.

Dendroclimatology and dendroecology of Cedrela odorata L. trees from Brazilian eastern Amazon

, 2022
Este trabalho parte das constantes alterações fitogeográficas e hidroclimáticas na região da Amazônia, nas últimas décadas. A curto e longo prazo, um dos grandes desafios é determinar os impactos que essas alterações irão gerar na dinâmica florestal e no

Demographic and Structural Variability Modulate Growth Dynamics in European Beech Primary Forests. [PDF]

Glob Chang Biol
Climate change is increasing drought and heat stress on European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.), causing widespread tree vitality losses and growth declines across Europe. Using a large tree ring network from montane primary beech forests, we found that trees of various ages and sizes respond differently to climate warming, leading to contrasting within ...

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.

Above-ground woody biomass allocation and within tree carbon and nutrient distribution of wild cherry (Prunus avium L.) – a case study

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

Species-specific climate–growth interactions determine tree species dynamics in mixed Central European mountain forests

Environmental Research Letters, 2021
Increasing growing season temperatures and the seasonal redistribution of precipitation due to climate change have recently been recorded across the globe.

Advancing Dendrochronological Studies of Fire in the United States [PDF]

, 2018
Dendroecology is the science that dates tree rings to their exact calendar year of formation to study processes that influence forest ecology (e.g., Speer 2010 [1], Amoroso et al., 2017 [2]).

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

Modeling Climate Impacts on Tree Growth to Assess Tree Vulnerability to Drought During Forest Dieback

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Forest dieback because of drought is a global phenomenon threatening particular tree populations. Particularly vulnerable stands are usually located in climatically stressing locations such as xeric sites subjected to seasonal drought.
