Similar biodiversity of ectomycorrhizal fungi in set-aside plantations and ancient old-growth broadleaved forests [PDF]
, 2015 Setting aside overmature planted forests is currently seen as an option for preserving species associated with old-growth forests, such as those with dispersal limitation. Few data exist, however, on the utility of set-aside plantations for this purpose,

The effect of carbon fertilization on naturally regenerated and planted US forests
Nature Communications, 2022 Over the last half century in the United States, the per-hectare volume of wood in trees has increased, but it is not clear whether this increase has been driven by forest management, forest recovery from past land uses, such as agriculture, or other ...

Wind damage to forests and trees: a review with an emphasis on planted and managed forests
Journal of Forest Research, 2021 This paper presents a review of our current understanding of the process of wind damage to trees and forests, with a particular, but not exclusive focus, on planted and managed forests.

Elevated CO2 does not increase eucalypt forest productivity on a low-phosphorus soil [PDF]
, 2017 Rising atmospheric CO2 stimulates photosynthesis and productivity of forests, offsetting CO2 emissions. Elevated CO2 experiments in temperate planted forests yielded ~23% increases in productivity over the initial years.

Fuelwood demand and supply in Rwanda and the role of agroforestry [PDF]
, 2011 Fuelwood in Rwanda is assumed to come from forests and woodlands, thus contributing to large-scale deforestation. Available studies on fuelwood demand and supply support this assumption and indicate a continuously rising demand of fuelwood, notably from ...

Spatial Assessment of Ecosystem Services from Planted Forests in Central Vietnam
Forests, 2020 Globally, planted forests are increasing, providing increased resources to forest industries and ecosystem services (ES) to local and wider communities. However, assessment of the impacts of plantations on ES has been limited.

Water, rather than temperature, dominantly impacts how soil fauna affect dissolved carbon and nitrogen release from fresh litter during early litter decomposition [PDF]
, 2016 Longstanding observations suggest that dissolved materials are lost from fresh litter through leaching, but the role of soil fauna in controlling this process has been poorly documented.

Mitigation strategies for conserving bird diversity under climate change scenarios in Europe: The role of forest naturalization. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 There are many possible strategies to promote naturalization in anthropogenic landscapes to mitigate global change effects. We combined large-scale databases available for continental Spain on: (1) distribution of breeding birds, (2) forest inventory ...
