Forests: when natural regeneration is unrealistic [PDF]

Nature, 2019
Monoculture or mixed-species tree plantations could be better alternatives in highly degraded areas that are distant from native seed sources. Financial compensation for landowners who conserve carbon, water or biodiversity in regenerating forests might not match incomes from agriculture or commercial forestry.

Achieving cost‐effective landscape‐scale forest restoration through targeted natural regeneration

Conservation Letters, 2020
High costs of tree planting are a barrier to meeting global forest restoration targets. Natural forest regeneration is more cost‐effective than tree planting, but its potential to foster restoration at scale is poorly understood.

Effects of Gap Size and Cardinal Directions on Natural Regeneration, Growth Dynamics of Trees outside the Gaps and Soil Properties in European Beech Forests of Southern Italy

Forests, 2021
The present study was focused on how cardinal directions inside gaps of different sizes (small, 200 m2; medium, 400 m2; and large, 600 m2) can affect soil characteristics and tree regeneration. Additionally, the effects of gap size on the growth dynamics

Modelling natural regeneration of European beech in Saxony, Germany: identifying factors influencing the occurrence and density of regeneration

European Journal of Forest Research, 2021
The potential utilisation of natural regeneration of European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) for forest conversion has received little attention to date. Ecological knowledge is necessary to understand and predict successful natural regeneration of beech ...

The Possibility of Regenerating a Pine Stand through Natural Regeneration

Forests, 2021
Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) is a widespread species in Eurasia, but its natural range can be significantly altered by a variety of stressors. The ability of pine to regenerate naturally is significantly reduced by its occurrence in unsuitable ...

Editorial: Enhancing Natural Regeneration to Restore Landscapes

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2021
Entering the UN decade of restoration, the time to bring commitments to action is now (UN, 2019). Evidence supports the potential for natural regeneration as a low-cost and effective strategy to restore ecosystems and their services (Chazdon and ...

Modelling Pinus pinea forest management to attain natural regeneration under present and future climatic scenarios [PDF]

, 2013
Natural regeneration-based silviculture has been increasingly regarded as a reliable option in sustainable forest management. However, successful natural regeneration is not always easy to achieve. Recently, new concerns have arisen because of changing

Natural regeneration in anthropogenic environments due to agricultural use in the cerrado, Uberaba, MG, Brazil

Bioscience Journal, 2017
Evidence of environmental impact on the Cerrado is characterised by the presence of large homogeneous pastures and agricultural areas, with the presence of very fragmented and scattered forest fragments.

Tree regeneration responds more to shade casting by the overstorey and competition in the understorey than to abundance per se [PDF]

, 2019
Manipulating the overstorey is the key tool for forest managers to steer natural regeneration. Opening up the canopy does not only create favourable light conditions for tree seedling growth, but also for (competitive) understorey species.

Gap regeneration and dynamics: the case study of mixed forests at Křtiny in the Czech Republic

Central European Forestry Journal, 2021
Gap regeneration remains the best silviculture technique for sustainable forest regeneration in mixed forests. The study examined tree species composition, diversity and dynamics of natural regeneration in gaps under three contrasting forest stands at ...
