Forest dynamics. [PDF]

open access: yesF1000Res, 2016
Forest dynamics encompass changes in stand structure, species composition, and species interactions with disturbance and environment over a range of spatial and temporal scales. For convenience, spatial scale is defined as individual tree, neighborhood, stand, and landscape.

Forest dynamics. [PDF]

open access: yesSilva Fennica, 1993
The paper deals with the application of forest dynamics. Reference is made to two studies, which have been carried out at a national level. The simulations of forest decline as well as the production of exceedingly thick timber of spruce and fir provide ...

Forest dynamics where typhoon winds blow. [PDF]

open access: yesNew Phytol
Summary Tropical cyclones (TCs) sporadically cause extensive damage to forests. However, little is known about how TCs affect forest dynamics in mountainous terrain, due to difficulties in modelling wind flows and quantifying structural changes. Typhoon Mangkhut (2018) was the strongest TC to strike Hong Kong in over 40 yr, with gusts > 250 km h−1 ...

There Is No Carbon Transfer Between Scots Pine and Pine Mistletoe but the Assimilation Capacity of the Hemiparasite Is Constrained by Host Water Use Under Dry Conditions

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Pine mistletoe is a hemiparasitic shrub that can produce its own photosynthates. There is a lack of knowledge about the interaction of mistletoe and host under varying environmental condition that might influence carbon gain and allocation.

Les forêts face aux sécheresses et canicules : causes de dépérissements, facteurs aggravants et différences de sensibilité entre les espèces

open access: yesRevue Forestière Française, 2023
Des sécheresses impactant fortement les forêts se sont déjà produites dans le passé en Europe (1911, à la fin des années 1940, 1976). Les plus récentes des étés 2003, 2018 et 2022, ont été marquées également par des vagues de chaleur sans précédent.

Spaceborne LiDAR for characterizing forest structure across scales in the European Alps

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, 2023
The launch of NASA's Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) mission in 2018 opens new opportunities to quantitatively describe forest ecosystems across large scales. While GEDI's height‐related metrics have already been extensively evaluated, the

Effects of a regenerating matrix on the survival of birds in tropical forest fragments

open access: yesAvian Research, 2020
Background Vast areas of lowland neotropical forest have regenerated after initially being cleared for agricultural purposes. The ecological value of regenerating second growth to forest-dwelling birds may largely depend on the age of the forest ...

Quantitative wood anatomy and stable carbon isotopes indicate pronounced drought exposure of Scots pine when growing at the forest edge

open access: yesFrontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2023
Climate change poses a major threat to global forest ecosystems. In particular, rising temperatures and prolonged drought spells have led to increased rates of forest decline and dieback in recent decades.

Sugar infusion into trees: A novel method to study tree carbon relations and its regulations

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2023
Many carbon-related physiological questions in plants such as carbon (C) limitation or starvation have not yet been resolved thoroughly due to the lack of suitable experimental methodology.

Decline in commercial pine nut and kernel yield in Mediterranean stone pine (Pinus pinea L.) in Spain

open access: yesiForest - Biogeosciences and Forestry, 2020
Cones of the Mediterranean stone pine (Pinus pinea L.) constitute one of the most relevant non-wood forest products collected in the Mediterranean forests, providing high value edible kernels.
