Determination of Structural Characteristics of Old-Growth Forest in Ukraine Using Spaceborne LiDAR [PDF]
Remote Sensing, 2021 A forest’s structure changes as it progresses through developmental stages from establishment to old-growth forest. Therefore, the vertical structure of old-growth forests will differ from that of younger, managed forests.

Old-growth forest loss and secondary forest recovery across Amazonian countries
, 2022 There is growing recognition of the potential of large-scale forest restoration in the Amazon as a 'nature-based solution' to climate change. However, our knowledge of forest loss and recovery beyond Brazil is limited, and carbon emissions and ...

Old-Growth Forest and Jobs [PDF]
, 1996 WP 1996-08 August 1996An optimal control model is constructed where the cutting of old-growth forest generates jobs and adds to the stock of land devoted to newgrowth, rotational forestry. Welfare is determined by the number of jobs in the forest economy

Mapping global forest age from forest inventories, biomass and climate data [PDF]
Earth System Science Data, 2021 Forest age can determine the capacity of a forest to uptake carbon from the atmosphere. However, a lack of global diagnostics that reflect the forest stage and associated disturbance regimes hampers the quantification of age-related differences in forest

Increase of an introduced bird competitor in old-growth forest associated with restoration [PDF]
, 2012 Many successful invasions involve long initial periods in which the invader exists at low densities followed by sudden population increases. The reasons for such time-lags remain poorly understood.

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2023 Soil C:N:P stoichiometry can regulate plant survival and reflect soil fertility and nutrient utilization. Despite the widespread conversion of old-growth forests to plantations or secondary forests, there is little knowledge about how these conversions ...
