Neighborhood effects on tree growth in a Fagus sylvatica - Abies alba forest following an ice storm

Forest Ecosystems
Ice storms can cause substantial damage to tree crowns and lead to growth reduction. However, in uneven-aged stands, the growth of an individual tree may also increase due to crown release caused by the damage or mortality of neighboring trees.
