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.

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 ...

Epiphytic lichens of the sacred natural site “Bosco di Sant’Antonio” (Majella National Park – Abruzzo) [PDF]
Italian Botanist, 2019 Sacred Natural Sites are relevant for biodiversity conservation, as in the case of forest sites that, across centuries, developed old growth structures and are now crucial for the conservation of epiphytic lichens and other specialized forest organisms ...

Syzygospora lapponica sp. nova (Syzygosporaceae, Heterobasidiomycetes) from Finland
Acta Mycologica, 2013 A new Syzygospora species from Finland, S. lapponica is described and illustrated. The hitherto collections derive from Finnish Lapland and the species is apparently a mycoparasite of the rare old-growth forest dwelling polypore Antrodia infirma. The new

Dynamics of two multi-stemmed understory shrubs in two temperate forests.
PLoS ONE, 2014 A multi-stemmed growth form may be an important trait enabling the persistence of individual shrubs in the forest understory. With the aim of evaluating the role of multiple stems, neighbor competition and soil nutrients in shrub performance, we study ...

Does restoration success vary with tree size under restoration plantings and regrowth forests?
Conservation Science and Practice, 2022 Several studies evaluate active (i.e., seeding/planting) and passive (i.e., protecting forest regrowth) restoration, but few studies examine successional patterns for different plant sizes.
