Stand-level biomass models for predicting C stock for the main Spanish pine species
Background National and international institutions periodically demand information on forest indicators that are used for global reporting. Among other aspects, the carbon accumulated in the biomass of forest species must be reported.

Effects of forest fragmentation on the vertical stratification of neotropical bats [PDF]
Vertical stratification is a key component of the biological complexity of rainforests. Understanding community- and species-level responses to disturbance across forest strata is paramount for evidence-based conservation and management.

Dynamics of Foliar Responses to O3 Stress as a Function of Phytotoxic O3 Dose in Hybrid Poplar
With background concentrations having reached phytotoxic levels during the last century, tropospheric ozone (O3) has become a key climate change agent, counteracting carbon sequestration by forest ecosystems.

The stable isotope 15N is an extremely useful tool for studying the nitrogen (N) cycle of terrestrial ecosystems. The affordability of isotope-ratio mass spectrometry has increased in the last decades and routine measurements of δ15N with an accuracy ...

Forest Insect Population Dynamics
AbstractMost insect species are rare most of the time, but populations of certain taxa exhibit dramatic fluctuations in abundance across years. These fluctuations range from highly regular, cyclical dynamics to mathematical chaos. Peaks in abundance, or “population outbreaks” are notable both for the damage they can cause in natural and planted forests

The vitality of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) is declining since the 1990s in many European regions. This was mostly attributed to the occurrence of hotter droughts, other climatic changes and secondary biotic stressors.

Distinguishing Abrupt and Gradual Forest Disturbances With MODIS-Based Phenological Anomaly Series
Capturing forest disturbances over time is increasingly important to determine the ecosystem's capacity to recover as well as aiding a timely response of foresters.

Increasing turnover through time in tropical forests [PDF]
Tree turnover rates were assessed at 40 tropical forest sites. Averaged across inventoried forests, turnover, as measured by tree mortality and recruitment, has increased since the 1950's, with an apparent pantropical acceleration since 1980.

In this paper, we introduce a new Random Forest (RF) induction algorithm called Dynamic Random Forest (DRF) which is based on an adaptative tree induction procedure. The main idea is to guide the tree induction so that each tree will complement as much as possible the existing trees in the ensemble.
