The Relationship of Forest Fragmentation to Scots Pine Forest Mortality

Land
Forest mortality (FM) is influenced by several independent factors, including forest fragmentation (FF) at different spatial scales and multi-scales, site conditions, and stand characteristics.

Basic density and crown parameters of forest forming species within Steppe zone in Ukraine

Folia Oecologica, 2018
The parameters of wood density (WD), bark density (BD) and tree crown characteristics are not only important for estimation of the aboveground biomass, but they also serve as indicators for the timber quality. This study had two objectives: Black locust (

Unveiling human–wildlife interactions in the context of livestock grazing abandonment and the return of large carnivores, ungulates and vultures: A stakeholder perspective

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 7, Page 2078-2090, July 2026.
Abstract Pastoral practices remain a widespread economic activity across European mountain regions. However, the viability of this activity may be threatened by the recovery of large wild vertebrates associated with passive rewilding, leading to the so‐called human–wildlife conflicts.

Decreasing water availability reduces productivity in Swiss forests along an altitudinal gradient

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 7, Page 2143-2157, July 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Forests are one of the most important terrestrial carbon sinks, but are increasingly under pressure due to drought, heat and the occurrence of extreme events. There are opposing longer term trends for European forest growth reported, and severe drought and disturbance ...

A review of thinning effects on Scots pine stands: From growth and yield to new challenges under global change

Forest Systems, 2017
Aim of the study: Thinning experiments in Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) stands have been carried out since long in different regions of its distribution. The aim of this paper is to gather the knowledge about the thinning effects on Scots pine stands,

Addressing Uncertainties in Climate–Ecosystem Feedbacks in the Arctic: Ten Priority Research Questions for Integrated Observation and Modeling

Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 4, July 2026.
Uncertainties exist in the biosphere–climate feedbacks in the Arctic. Remote and ground measurements play complementary roles in detecting possible changes. A critical next step is identification of key drivers of the global changes for future projections. ABSTRACT Positive biosphere–climate feedbacks are likely to amplify the Arctic warming, yet major

Climate Sensitivity and Drought Legacy of Tree Growth in Plantation Forests in Northeast China Are Species- and Age-Dependent

Remote Sensing
The occurrence, frequency, and severity of drought are accelerating due to global warming. Understanding the vulnerability of plantation forests to climate change, particularly to drought events, is critical to revealing the underlying mechanisms of tree

Reproductive consequences of mate retention and divorce in a short‐lived migratory passerine

Ibis, Volume 168, Issue 3, Page 1139-1147, July 2026.
In socially monogamous birds, pair‐bond duration varies across species, from single‐breeding associations to long‐lasting, multi‐year bonds. Studies of pair retention and divorce have focused on long‐lived and sedentary species rather than short‐lived and migratory species.

Winners and losers in subarctic moth communities in a changing climate: Marine regime shifts as predictors for terrestrial insect biomass

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 4, Page 945-963, July 2026.
1972–2017, the total moth biomass ina subarctic community had a positive trend but biomass trends differ betweenmoth groups based on taxonomy, phenology and resource use. In the northern latitudes, outbreaking species impact greatly moth biomass Moth biomass is associated withtemperature variables and marine Regime shifts, which can be effective ...
