Nonannual tree rings in a climate-sensitive Prioria copaifera chronology in the Atrato River, Colombia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
In temperate climates, tree growth dormancy usually ensures the annual nature of tree rings, but in tropical environments, determination of annual periodicity can be more complex.

Advance, steadfast, retreat? Growth and establishment of white spruce seedlings at treelines in Alaska

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2025.
Abstract Range dynamics of tree species are largely driven by seedling establishment and survival, mainly at and beyond current treelines. Although numerous studies document the growth of mature white spruce (Picea glauca) trees in Alaska, research on seedling establishment and growth, particularly dendroecological studies addressing climate ...

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

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

Grazing Affects Soil Organic Carbon Stocks Directly and Indirectly Through Herbaceous Species Diversity in Sahelian Savanna Ecosystems

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, Volume 36, Issue 10, Page 3490-3498, June 2025.
ABSTRACT The impact of livestock grazing on soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks in the Sahel has been poorly documented due to a lack of data from different grazing intensities. This study evaluated SOC stocks under four grazing intensities within 0–30 cm soil depth in dry savanna ecosystems of Senegal.

Quantifying Fire Cycle from Dendroecological Records Using Survival Analyses [PDF]

open access: yesForests, 2016
Quantifying fire regimes in the boreal forest ecosystem is crucial for understanding the past and present dynamics, as well as for predicting its future dynamics. Survival analyses have often been used to estimate the fire cycle in eastern Canada because they make it possible to take into account the censored information that is made prevalent by the ...

Forecasting Forest Vulnerability to Drought in Pyrenean Silver Fir Forests Showing Dieback

open access: yesFrontiers 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.

Growth rings show limited evidence for ungulates’ potential to suppress shrubs across the Arctic

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters, 2022
Global warming has pronounced effects on tundra vegetation, and rising mean temperatures increase plant growth potential across the Arctic biome. Herbivores may counteract the warming impacts by reducing plant growth, but the strength of this effect may ...

Stand structure attributes in potential Old-Growth Forests in the Apennines, Italy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The aim of this paper is to provide early feedback on stand structure attributes in Italian Apennines forests that could be considered Old Growth Forests in the Mediterranean Eco-Region. Few data are nowadays available relating to this Region.

Benchmarking tree species classification from proximally sensed laser scanning data: Introducing the FOR‐species20K dataset

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, Page 801-818, April 2025.
Abstract Proximally sensed laser scanning presents new opportunities for automated forest ecosystem data capture. However, a gap remains in deriving ecologically pertinent information, such as tree species, without additional ground data. Artificial intelligence approaches, particularly deep learning (DL), have shown promise towards automation ...
