Modelling Tree Growth in Monospecific Forests from Forest Inventory Data [PDF]
Forests, 2021 The prediction of tree growth is key to further understand the carbon sink role of forests and the short-term forest capacity on climate change mitigation. In this work, we used large-scale data available from three consecutive forest inventories in a Euro-Mediterranean region and the Bertalanffy–Chapman–Richards equation to model up to a decade’s tree

Forest Ecosystems, 2016 Background An examination of the distribution of ancient charcoal kiln sites in the forest landscape seems to be worthwhile, since general trends in the selection of suitable kiln site locations in the past might become obvious.

Tree growth acceleration and expansion of alpine forests: The synergistic effect of atmospheric and edaphic change. [PDF]
, 2016 Many forest ecosystems have experienced recent declines in productivity; however, in some alpine regions, tree growth and forest expansion are increasing at marked rates.

Success factors for high-quality oak forest (Quercus robur, Q. petraea) regeneration
Forest Ecosystems, 2019 Background Within the framework of close-to-nature forestry, oak forest (Quercus robur, Q. petraea) regeneration techniques that consider both silvicultural and nature conservation demands have become a very important issue.

Cooperative root graft networks benefit mangrove trees under stress
Communications Biology, 2021 Vovides et al. investigate mangrove trees at a field site in the Gulf of Mexico to determine the effect of stress on root networks. Non-destructive analyses indicate that the probability of non-selective cooperative root grafting increases with higher ...

Biomass partitioning and growth efficiency in four naturally regenerated forest tree species [PDF]
, 2010 Current forest growth models and yield tables are almost exclusively based on data from mature trees, reducing their applicability to young and developing stands.

Evaluating forest growth models [PDF]
Ecological Modelling, 1997 Effective model evaluation is not a single, simple procedure, but comprises several interrelated steps that cannot be separated from each other or from the purpose and process of model construction. We draw attention to several statistical and graphical procedures that may assist in model calibration and evaluation, with special emphasis on those ...

Similar biodiversity of ectomycorrhizal fungi in set-aside plantations and ancient old-growth broadleaved forests [PDF]
, 2015 Setting aside overmature planted forests is currently seen as an option for preserving species associated with old-growth forests, such as those with dispersal limitation. Few data exist, however, on the utility of set-aside plantations for this purpose,

Late-successional and old-growth forests in the northeastern United States: Structure, dynamics, and prospects for restoration. [PDF]
, 2013 Restoration of old-growth forest structure is an emerging silvicultural goal, especially in those regions where old-growth abundance falls below the historic range of variability.
