Arctic amplification causes earlier onset of seasonal tree growth in northeastern Siberia
Although recent warming affects the high-northern latitudes at an unprecedented rate, little is known about its impact on boreal forests because in situ observations from remote ecosystems in Siberia are sparse.

Deadwood in forest stands close to old-growthness under Mediterranean conditions in the Italian Peninsula [PDF]
Considering that indicators of old-growth features can vary across the European ecoregions, this paper provides some results to identify the distinctive traits of old-growth forests in the Mediterranean ecoregion.

Soil organic carbon in tropical shade coffee agroforestry following land‐use changes in Mozambique
Abstract Coffee (Coffea L.) agroforestry systems (CAFS) and wooded grasslands (WG) have been pointed out as having high soil organic carbon (SOC) storage potential compared to monoculture systems. Studies analyzing the response of soil bulk density (BD) and SOC to the conversion of WG to slash‐and‐burn agriculture (SBA) and to CAFS are lacking in ...

Long-term drought sensitivity of trees in second-growth forests in a humid region [PDF]
Classical field methods of reconstructing drought using tree rings in humid, temperate regions typically target old trees from drought-prone sites. This approach limits investigators to a handful of species and excludes large amounts of data that might ...

ABSTRACT Water potential is a crucial parameter for assessing tree water status and hydraulic strategies. However, methods for measuring water potential, such as the Scholander pressure chamber, are destructive, discontinuous and difficult to perform in tall forests.

How the instability of ranks under long memory affects large-sample inference [PDF]
Under long memory, the limit theorems for normalized sums of random variables typically involve a positive integer called "Hermite rank". There is a different limit for each Hermite rank.

Editorial note for the special issue on ‘Tropical Dendroecology’ [PDF]
It is not very long ago that tree-ring studies on tropical trees were in their pioneering stage, being regarded as exceptional studies. Since dendroecology evolved in the temperate climate zones, the majority of dendroecologists trusted in the paradigm that trees growing in tropical climates do not exhibit annual growth rings and hence are not suitable

Using structural equation modeling, our research uncovers the complex impacts of forest management on bats and insects, revealing both top‐down and bottom‐up effects. We found that forest management practices and structural characteristics shape bat guild activity both directly and indirectly by altering insect prey abundance and diversity. Short‐range
