The virgin forests of the Synevyr National Nature Park, Ukraine: its current condition and biodiversity

Environmental & Socio-economic Studies, 2022
Among the protected sites of the Eastern Carpathians, the Synevyr National Nature Park (NNP) in the Zakarpattia region of Ukraine is one of the most valuable and was created to preserve its unique mountain beech and spruce forest communities.

Greater soil carbon losses from secondary than old-growth tropical forests

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2023
Tropical forests play a crucial role in mediating the global carbon cycle and climate. Southeast Asian tropical forests are experiencing ongoing threats of deforestation and degradation.

An indicator species highlights continuous deadwood supply is a key ecological attribute of boreal old‐growth forests

Ecosphere, 2021
Old‐growth forests are optimal habitats for many woodpeckers, which are often themselves excellent indicators of deadwood‐associated biodiversity. Old‐growth forests are, however, heterogeneous ecosystems in terms of structure, composition, and deadwood ...

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

Amazonian secondary forests are greatly reducing fragmentation and edge exposure in old-growth forests

Environmental Research Letters, 2023
Restoration of tropical landscapes through the expansion of secondary forests is crucial for climate change mitigation and offers co-benefits for biodiversity.

Old-growth forest loss and secondary forest recovery across Amazonian countries

Environmental Research Letters, 2021
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 ...

Late-successional and old-growth forests in the northeastern United States: Structure, dynamics, and prospects for restoration. [PDF]

, 2013
Restoration of old-growth forest structure is an emerging silvicultural goal, especially in those regions where old-growth abundance falls below the historic range of variability.

Tight relationships between leaf and topsoil stoichiometries after 42 years of forest conversion from old-growth forests to Chinese fir plantations

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 ...

Similar biodiversity of ectomycorrhizal fungi in set-aside plantations and ancient old-growth broadleaved forests [PDF]

, 2015
Setting aside overmature planted forests is currently seen as an option for preserving species associated with old-growth forests, such as those with dispersal limitation. Few data exist, however, on the utility of set-aside plantations for this purpose,
