Rewilding beech-dominated temperate forest ecosystems: effects on carbon stocks and biodiversity indicators

iForest - Biogeosciences and Forestry
Maximising carbon stock and habitat availability is a critical objective of contemporary forest management, with primary forests serving a crucial function due to their substantial carbon storage potential and biodiversity values.

Old-growth Neotropical forests are shifting in species and trait composition

, 2016
This dataset contains the underlaying data for the study: Tropical forests have long been thought to be in stable state, but recent insights indicate that global change is leading to shifts in forest dynamics and species composition.

Old‐Growth Forest Area Projected to Increase on United States Federal Lands Under Alternative Future Scenarios

Earth's Future
Changing climate conditions, wildfires, and tree harvests could affect the area of mature and old‐growth forests in the United States. We used a stochastic modeling system to project future areal extents of mature and old‐growth forests on National ...

The carbon cycle in the old-growth forests

Forest@, 2008
According to a recent paper published in Nature (Luyssaert et al. 2008) the old-growth forests remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and should be considered an important carbon sink at the planetary level.

Second-growth forests of the Mexican tropics are reservoirs of timber species similar to old-growth forest: Perspectives for sustainable forest management

Trees, Forests and People
Second-growth forests represent the largest area of forest in southern Mexico and can provide relevant information on how their structural attributes in are linked to anthropogenic factors and for their forest management. However, a knowledge gap remains

Habitat use and diel activity of insectivorous bats across land‐cover types on an Afrotropical oceanic island

Conservation Science and Practice
Tropical island biodiversity is declining at alarming rates. Yet, understanding how species are coping with such disturbance remains limited for Afrotropical islands.

Management of the Tongass National Forest in Southeast Alaska increases extinction risk of island endemics

Global Ecology and Conservation
After decades of clearcut logging the most productive old-growth forests, the Tongass National Forest developed a new forest plan in 1997 with expectations of maintaining viable populations of native wildlife species.
