Carbon stock increases up to old growth forest along a secondary succession in Mediterranean island ecosystems. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2019 The occurrence of old-growth forests is quite limited in Mediterranean islands, which have been subject to particularly pronounced human impacts. Little is known about the carbon stocks of such peculiar ecosystems compared with different stages of ...

Habitat selection of an old‐growth forest specialist in managed forests [PDF]
Animal Conservation, 2020 AbstractOld‐growth forest specialists are among the species most affected by commercial forestry. However, it is often unclear whether such species can persist and what their habitat needs are in managed forests. We investigated habitat selection of one such old‐growth forest specialist, the white‐backed woodpeckerDendrocopos leucotos, a species highly

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

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 ...

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 ...

Old-growth forest carbon sinks overestimated
Nature, 2021 Luyssaert et al.1 reported that unmanaged, old-growth forests continue to sequester atmospheric carbon (C) at a rate of 2.4 ± 0.8 Mg C ha–1 yr–1 for stand ages exceeding 200 years. This claim was based on an analysis of net ecosystem productivity (NEP) and other C flux data from temperate or boreal forest plots compiled from published studies and ...

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 ...

Fonte Novello old-growth forest
L'Italia Forestale e Montana, 2010 The study has been carried-out to compare the genetic diversity between old growth beech forest and post-harvested naturally regenerated stands. The purpose was also the evaluation of the possible genetic impact of harvesting systems; these information are needed for the development sustainable silvicultural methods.
