Silva Fennica, 2009 We examined the regeneration patterns of Pinus sylvestris L. in a natural treed mire in the hemiboreal zone in Latvia. Data on tree stem age and size was collected in 207 fine-scale plots (10 m) and 4 medium-scale plots (400 m).

The effects of moose and pine density on browsing damage in Swedish pine forests
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Moose Alces alces is a culturally and economically important game species in Sweden, but their browsing on regenerating Scots pine trees Pinus sylvestris often causes extensive damage to the production and quality of timber. Forest and wildlife managers are faced with the dilemma of how to reduce damage to timber trees while also supporting moose ...

Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.Climate change drives shifts in suitable habitats for Eurasian lynx and its prey (hare, roe deer) in Mohe, Daxing'anling Mountains. Under RCP scenarios, moderate warming (RCP4.5) promotes substantial habitat expansion, while high‐emission conditions (RCP8.5) lead to strong expansion in the 2050s but slower gains and partial contraction by the 2070s ...

Seed dormancy explains plant response to mass mortality events
Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Mass mortality events (MMEs) are large‐scale, rapid die‐offs resulting in extreme inputs of carrion biomass. Recent work demonstrates the effects of increasing carrion biomass on plant communities modulated by vertebrate scavengers and herbivores.

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Dead wood decomposition is a crucial ecological function in forests, influenced by climate and facilitated by microbial communities. While fungi are considered the primary decomposers, bacteria also contribute, interacting with fungi in both facilitative and competitive

Journal of Forest Science, 2017 We explored the usefulness of LiDAR for modelling and mapping the stand biomass of two conifer species in southern Spain. We used three different plot sizes and two statistical approaches (i.e.

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Climate change has increased the frequency and severity of drought and large wildfire events across western North America. Despite the increasing concurrence of drought and wildfire events and the importance of forests as a global carbon sink, the impacts of fire on ...

Insect Science, EarlyView.Moderate retention forestry creates structurally sharp forest edges that act as ecological filters, shaping orientation‐specific activity of ground‐dwelling arthropods. Using drift‐fence pitfall traps, we show that activity aligned with ecotones is more frequent than activity across forest–clearcut boundaries, particularly among detritivores.

MATEC Web of Conferences, 2018 The durability of exterior finishes on wood is not assured with the systems currently used. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate the color change of the finishes applied to wood, the most commercialized in Morocco, in order to find the wood ...
