Stand growth and structure of mixed-species and monospecific stands of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) and oak (Q. robur L., Quercus petraea (Matt.) Liebl.) analysed along a productivity gradient through Europe

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Forest Research, 2019
Past failures of monocultures, caused by wind-throw or insect damages, and ongoing climate change currently strongly stimulate research into mixed-species stands.

Effects of phenotypic selection on height-diameter ratio of Norway spruce and Scots pine in Sweden

open access: yesSilva Fennica, 2018
Genetically improved Norway spruce ( (L.) Karst.) and Scots pine ( L.) are extensively used in operational Swedish forestry plantations. However, relatively little is known about the stem slenderness (height-diameter ratio) of genetically improved ...

Performance of lodgepole pine and Scots pine in field trials located in north-west Russia

open access: yesSilva Fennica, 2017
Mortality, stem growth and quality of lodgepole pine ( var. ) originating from the six Swedish seed orchards and local Scots pine ( L.) were estimated in four field trials established in the Komi Republic (north-west Russia). A randomized row-plot design

Development of a Novel Superhydrophobic Sawdust–Perspex Composite Disc for Efficient Oil–Water Separation

open access: yesAsia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Water pollution by oil and organic substances causes serious problems that threaten the ecosystem. Superhydrophobic materials represent an effective solution for removing oil from water. The present paper investigates the development of a low‐cost, superhydrophobic composite for oil–water separation.

Experimental Analysis of Fire Behavior in Pine Forests and Agricultural Fields: Large‐Scale Tests Conducted Within the European TREEADS Project

open access: yesFire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Two large‐scale experiments investigated fire spread mechanisms in vegetation ground fires in a pine forest and an agricultural field within the European TREEADS project. The tests, conducted in Saxony‐Anhalt and Brandenburg, targeted regions with dry, sandy soils and extensive pine stands and aim to improve suppression strategies and wildfire

Afforestation in Serbia in the period 1961-2007 with special reference to Austrian pine and Scots pine [PDF]

open access: yesGlasnik Šumarskog Fakulteta: Univerzitet u Beogradu, 2009
The significance of afforestation in Serbia is high because only in this way the forest area can be increased and brought to the level which corresponds to the demands of the population.

Species identity and spatial scale drive context‑dependent tree diversity effects in a Finnish forest experiment

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Tree species diversity is known to affect tree growth and leaf traits, which in turn can influence various ecosystem processes. However, the reported direction of these tree diversity effects is inconsistent, indicating that their outcomes depend strongly on ecological context.

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

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
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.

Microbial succession on decomposing root litter in a drought-prone Scots pine forest

open access: yesThe ISME Journal, 2019
Decomposition is a major flux of the carbon cycle in forest soils and understanding the involved processes is a key for budgeting carbon turnover. Decomposition is constrained by the presence of biological agents such as microorganisms and the underlying
