Carbon stocks in tree biomass and soils of German forests

Central European Forestry Journal, 2017
Close to one third of Germany is forested. Forests are able to store significant quantities of carbon (C) in the biomass and in the soil. Coordinated by the Thünen Institute, the German National Forest Inventory (NFI) and the National Forest Soil ...

Capturing ecological processes in dynamic forest models: why there is no silver bullet to cope with complexity

Ecosphere, 2020
Dynamic forest models are a key tool to better understand, assess, and project decadal‐ to centennial‐scale forest dynamics. Despite their success, many questions regarding appropriate model formulations remain unresolved, and few models have found ...

RNAi of AGAMOUS genes in sweetgum alters reproductive organ identity and decreases fruit persistence

Plant Direct, 2020
Sweetgums (Liquidambar), members of the family Altingiaceae (Altingiales), have inflorescences and floral organs that are distinctive in structure compared with other angiosperms in which the roles of floral homeotic genes have been studied.

Synergies in Agricultural Biodiversity Conservation: Decomposing the Interaction Between Nature Parks and Agri‐Environment Schemes

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding how policy instruments with overlapping goals interact is crucial for leveraging their synergies. This study explores the mechanisms for regional nature parks (a form of protected areas that impose no restrictions on agriculture) to enhance the adoption of biodiversity‐conserving agri‐environment schemes (AES) in Switzerland ...

Monitoring Plant Biodiversity and Indicator Species Across Post-Fire Rehabilitation Structures in Greece: A Two-Year Study

Fire
Wooden, nature-based barrier structures are widely implemented after wildfire in Mediterranean forests to reduce runoff connectivity and trap sediment, yet their ecological footprint on early plant recovery remains poorly quantified in Greece.

Synergistic Effects of Climate and Land-Cover Change on Long-Term Bird Population Trends of the Western USA: A Test of Modeled Predictions

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2019
Climate and land-use change are predicted to lead to widespread changes in population dynamics, but quantitative predictions on the relative effects of these stressors have not yet been examined empirically.
