Structural characteristics of old-growth forest of silver fir and beech at Biogradska Gora
Notulae Botanicae Horti Agrobotanici Cluj-NapocaThis paper presents the results of a study on the structural characteristics of mixed old-growth silver fir (Abies alba Mill.) and beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) forests in Biogradska Gora, Montenegro, one of the last remaining primeval forests in Europe ...

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

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.

Old-growth forests as global carbon sinks
Nature, 2008 Old-growth forests remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere at rates that vary with climate and nitrogen deposition. The sequestered carbon dioxide is stored in live woody tissues and slowly decomposing organic matter in litter and soil. Old-growth forests therefore serve as a global carbon dioxide sink, but they are not protected by international ...

Increase of an introduced bird competitor in old-growth forest associated with restoration [PDF]
, 2012 Many successful invasions involve long initial periods in which the invader exists at low densities followed by sudden population increases. The reasons for such time-lags remain poorly understood.

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 ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.In this study, we found that human cervical‐derived adipocytes maintain intracellular iron level by regulating the expression of iron transport‐related proteins during adrenergic stimulation. Melanotransferrin is predicted to interact with transferrin receptor 1 based on in silico analysis.

Reappearance of old growth elements in lowland woodlands in northern Belgium : do the associated species follow? [PDF]
, 2012 The forest cover of the western European lowland plain has been very low for centuries. Remaining forests were intensively managed, and old-growth elements like veteran trees and coarse woody debris became virtually absent.
