Temperature effect on size distributions in spruce-fir-beech mixed stands across Europe [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Forest composed of Picea abies L., Abies alba Mill. and Fagus sylvatica L. cover a large area in the European mountain regions and have a high ecological and socio-economic importance as they supply many ecosystems services.

Long‐term effects of annual mowing on plant diversity, community composition, and temporal stability in wet grasslands

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Wet grasslands and fens are biodiversity‐rich ecosystems whose structure and functioning are shaped by disturbance, productivity, and hydrological conditions. Their persistence depends on management. Although mowing is widely used to maintain these habitats, its long‐term effects on species diversity and community composition ...

From quantity to quality: the evolution of forest restoration in the United Kingdom

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Over the past century, forest cover in the United Kingdom has increased threefold. However, the pathways, achievements, and shortcomings of this expansion remain underexplored. Objectives This study analyses the drivers, implementation, and legacies of forest restoration in the United Kingdom before and after 1990, which is when ...

An Attention Aware Pooling Strategy for Efficient Multi‐Label Classification of Aerial Forest Imagery

open access: yesExpert Systems, Volume 43, Issue 12, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Accurate multi‐label classification of aerial forest imagery is a critical component of large‐scale forest monitoring, biodiversity assessment and climate‐related decision making. Unlike single‐label scenarios, natural forest scenes exhibit strong class co‐occurrence, severe class imbalance and spatially heterogeneous label relevance, which ...

Human Tolerance in Romanian Brown Bears (Ursus arctos): Access to Human Food Sources Can Lead to Changes in Bear Behaviour

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 11, November 2026.
In our study, we identified deficiencies in waste management that certain bears exploit to access easy food, leading to artificial food conditioning and increased tolerance to humans. Our analysis of urban surveillance footage revealed frequent bear visits to garbage bin islands, linked to improper use of protective measures, such as non‐activated ...

Interactions between leaf nitrogen status and longevity in relation to N cycling in three contrasting European forest canopies [PDF]

open access: yesBiogeosciences, 2013
Seasonal and spatial variations in foliar nitrogen (N) parameters were investigated in three European forests with different tree species, viz. beech (<i>Fagus sylvatica</i> L.), Douglas fir (<i>Pseudotsuga menziesii</i> (Mirb ...

How Does Forest Litter Extraction Commonly Used in the Past Affect the Runoff Reaction to Heavy Rainfalls?

open access: yesHydrological Processes, Volume 40, Issue 11, November 2026.
The partial removal of organic layers (1), historically practiced for bedding in stables, showed varying effects on surface runoff generation (2). While previous studies linked the effect of such practices to increased surface runoff, a historically authentic litter extraction with subsequent rainfall simulation experiments on four plots revealed both ...

Intensification of intraguild interactions between top predators in a climate change impacted environment: a new potential evolutionary pathway

open access: yesJournal of Avian Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 6, November 2026.
Adaptations of coexisting species to climate‐driven environmental changes might not necessarily lead to extinctions, but rather to trait variations that generate new competitive hierarchies in ecosystems. Top predators have a pivotal role in ecosystems, but long‐term effects in changing environments have not been sufficiently explored.

Forecast of the Norway spruce forests’ decline at the Ukrainian Carpathians according to forest types

open access: yesНаукові праці Лісівничої академії наук України, 2019
The most negative result of the mass decline of the spruce forests in the Ukrainian Carpathians is the loss of most of the spruce wood stock, which is practically uncontested for many industries.
