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 ...

Tree growth acceleration and expansion of alpine forests: The synergistic effect of atmospheric and edaphic change. [PDF]
, 2016 Many forest ecosystems have experienced recent declines in productivity; however, in some alpine regions, tree growth and forest expansion are increasing at marked rates.

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.

Biomass partitioning and growth efficiency in four naturally regenerated forest tree species [PDF]
, 2010 Current forest growth models and yield tables are almost exclusively based on data from mature trees, reducing their applicability to young and developing stands.

Support of multispectral very high solution remotely sensed imagery for old-growth beech forest detection. [PDF]
, 2010 In the Mediterranean basin human activity has modified landscapes for millennia,nevertheless there are few remote forest areas relatively untouched long enough from direct anthropogenic disturbance to develop old-growth attributes.

Remote Sensing, 2022 The monitoring of ecosystems and forests is an urgent requirement in the current framework of global change. It is particularly necessary on oceanic islands where their rich biodiversity is highly vulnerable, with many narrow-ranged endemic species ...

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

Tropical forest restoration: Fast resilience of plant biomass contrasts with slow recovery of stable soil C stocks [PDF]
, 2017 Due to intensifying human disturbance, over half of the world's tropical forests are reforested or afforested secondary forests or plantations. Understanding the resilience of carbon (C) stocks in these forests, and estimating the extent to which they ...

Stand structure attributes in potential Old-Growth Forests in the Apennines, Italy [PDF]
, 2011 The aim of this paper is to provide early feedback on stand structure attributes in Italian Apennines forests that could be considered Old Growth Forests in the Mediterranean Eco-Region. Few data are nowadays available relating to this Region.

Frontiers in Genetics, 2021 Whether old-growth (OG) forests have higher genetic diversity and effective population size, consequently higher conservation value and climate adaptive potential than second-growth (SG) forests, remain an unresolved issue.
