Heat-Treated Wood from Grand Fir Provides the Same Quality Compared to Silver Fir
Forests, 2022 Grand fir (Abies grandis/Dougl. ex D. Don/Lindl.) represents the North American species that has the potential to replace and complement to some extent several commercial European species, in particular, Norway spruce and silver fir. This is not only due to its high production potential but also because of its favorable effect on the soil compared to ...

The mid-Holocene extinction of silver fir ( Abies alba ) in the Southern Alps: a consequence of forest fires? Palaeobotanical records and forest simulations [PDF]
, 2018 Pollen records suggest that Abies alba played a dominating role in both the montane and lowland forests at the border of the Southern Alps between ca. 8500 and 5700 years ago. Two major declines in fir, at about 7300-7000 cal b.p. and at ca. 6000 cal b.p.

Preliminary estimates of mass-loss rates, changes in stable isotope composition, and invertebrate colonisation of evergreen and deciduous leaves in a Waikato, New Zealand, stream. [PDF]
, 1999 Rates of mass loss are important in the choice of tree species used in riparian rehabilitation because leaves that break down fast should contribute to stream food-webs more rapidly than leaves that break down more slowly.

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Many bird species are monitored using auditory point count surveys during the breeding season. Autonomous recording units (ARUs) can be used to better understand the daily and seasonal timing of when a species is vocalizing, which can help align surveys with the time period when the maximum number of individuals are present. We used ARUs to improve our

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 ...
