Restoration in degraded subtropical broadleaved forests induces changes in soil bacterial communities

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2021
Soil resident bacterial communities are involved in myriad key processes that facilitate ecosystem functionality. However, our understanding of their diversity and compositional dynamics following ecological restoration, and the main factors that ...

Investigating LiDAR Metrics for Old-Growth Beech- and Spruce-Dominated Forest Identification in Central Europe

Remote Sensing
Old-growth forests are essential for maintaining biodiversity, as they are formed by the complexity of diverse forest structures, such as broad variations in tree height and diameter (DBH) and conditions of living and dead trees, leading to various ...

Patterns of forest dynamics in a secondary old-growth beech-dominated forest in the Jizera Mountains Beech Forest Reserve, Czech Republic

iForest - Biogeosciences and Forestry, 2019
Restoring the structural characteristics of secondary old-growth forests that were previously managed is increasingly debated to help increase the area of more complex forests which provide a broader array of forest services and functions. The paucity of

Assessing the vulnerability and conservation potential of old‐growth forests in British Columbia, Canada

Ecosphere
Climate change is predicted to have widespread effects on the distribution of many species and ecosystems, including old‐growth forests. Because of the slow development time of old‐growth forests, it is especially important for their management to map ...

Characterizing old-growth forests from multisource remote sensing [PDF]

, 2022
Old-growth forest is the ultimate forest stand development stage with the most complex structure. The complexity allows different ecological niches to be assembled, which benefits biodiversity.

Deadwood Diversity of Boreal and Sub-boreal Old-growth Forests in Southern Finland

South-East European Forestry
In the last century, old-growth forests in boreal and sub-boreal zone have decreased, along with their contribution to biological diversity. In order to carry on management strategies aimed at maintaining deadwood diversity in old-growth forests, it is ...

Old-growth forests as global carbon sinks

, 2008
LetterInternational audienceOld-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 ...
