Assessing viability of forest species

Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2001
Although forestry and forest management are often viewed as anathema to conservation, foresters world-wide are increasingly paying attention to the fauna within their managed lands. In the USA, the National Forest Management Act requires that every national forest should explicitly provide for the viability of vertebrate species on its lands.

Forest Management Planning in Mixed-Species Forests

2017
In this chapter, we outline how forest management planning (FMP) develops in order to meet the requirements or even support the transition from far-from-nature monocultures to close-to-nature polycultures. We first introduce the various concepts and main steps of FMP in practice.

Extent, distribution and origin of non-native forest tree species in Europe

Scandinavian Journal of Forest Research, 2019
The management of non-native tree species in European forests has a long history, but the information on the current number and geographic distribution of these species in European forests is incomplete and scattered across various datasets.

Globalization, invasive forest pathogen species, and forest tree health

2022
In the last five centuries, the progressive decrease in transcontinental freight transport times due to the advancement of transport technology has greatly favored the involuntary transport of plant pathogens along with goods, and especially together with live plants.

Modelling Mixed-Species Forest Stands

2017
The chapter first describes common models for monospecific stands and then the environmental conditions, processes, and structures that need to be included in forest growth models that are to be applied to mixed-species forests, how these different processes are incorporated into models, and the strengths and weaknesses of tree-level and stand-level ...

Conservation of Hardwood Forest Species

2017
Conservation of forest genetic resources is essential for meeting the demand for future wood products. Genotypes with improved characteristics are nowadays widely produced through conventional breeding programmes, by selection of mature superior trees, by genetic transformation procedures, etc., which are important for increasing the productivity of ...

Beetle Species Responses to Tropical Forest Fragmentation

Ecological Monographs, 1998
(Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) The effects of forest fragmentation on beetle species composition were investigated in an experimentally fragmented tropical forest landscape in Central Amazonia. Leaf-litter beetles were sampled at seven distances from the forest edge (0–420 m) along forest edge-to-interior transects in two 100-ha ...

Forest species mapping

2017
Remote sensing has become increasingly important in vegetation mapping. Early applications pertained to aerial photography, but more recently satellite imagery with a huge range of spatial and temporal resolutions is in use that increases the applicability's from entire ecosystems to specific vegetation types. Some mapping projects apply remote sensing

Can tree species choice influence recruitment of ancient forest species in post-agricultural forest?

Plant Ecology, 2010
Germination and establishment of ancient forest species are bottlenecks in forest habitat restoration. We hypothesised that tree species can influence these processes on acidification sensitive soils through their effects on the soil. Seeds of seven ancient forest species were sown in soil collected in a post-agricultural forest under four different ...
