Ice storm damage to oak forests in subtropical China
Forest Ecosystems, 2023 Ice storms, as important sources of frequent and injurious disturbances, drive forest dynamics in the Northern Hemisphere. However, stand-level differential vulnerability to ice storms and the associated factors that predispose forest stands remain ...

Crown plasticity and neighborhood interactions of European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) in an old-growth forest [PDF]
, 2012 Competition for canopy space is a process of major importance in forest dynamics. Although virgin and old-growth European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) forests in Europe have been studied for many years, there are to date no studies of individual-tree crown

The conservation of saproxylic beetles in boreal forest [PDF]
, 2006 Forest management has altered the age structure, tree species composition and dead wood availability of Swedish boreal forests. As a consequence, many saproxylic (wood living) insect species have decreased in abundance and many species are threatened ...

Definition criteria determine the success of old-growth mapping
Ecological IndicatorsOld-growth forests have been widely studied for decades. The extreme diversity of old forest characteristics has inspired an equally diverse set of old-growth definitions, and makes mapping old-growth difficult across large areas and different forest ...

Factors shaping the distribution of old-growthness attributes in the forests of Spain
Forest EcosystemsConservation and enhancement of old-growth forests are key in forest planning and policies. In order to do so, more knowledge is needed on how the attributes traditionally associated with old-growth forests are distributed in space, what differences ...
