European Mixed Forests: definition and research perspectives [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
peer-reviewedAim of study: We aim at (i) developing a reference definition of mixed forests in order to harmonize comparative research in mixed forests and (ii) briefly review the research perspectives in mixed forests.

Hermit beetle (Osmoderma barnabita) habitat selection and movement are shaped by tree microhabitat availability in Eastern Romanian Carpathians

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
We conducted the first radio‐tracking study on Osmoderma barnabita to examine the movement ecology and habitat selection in the Eastern Carpathians. A female recorded the longest movement distance and had larger home ranges than males. It showed a preference for Quercus petraea, with wood mould cavities and DBH as key predictors.

The interdisciplinary decision problem: Popperian optimism and Kuhnian pessimism in forestry

open access: yesEcology and Society, 2018
Interdisciplinary research in the fields of forestry and sustainability studies often encounters seemingly incompatible ontological assumptions deriving from natural and social sciences.

Projected Climate‐Suitable Area for Apis mellifera (Apidae) and Its Spatial Overlap With a Mining Tailings Footprint in South‐East Brazil

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate change and environmental disasters can jointly impact species distributions and ecosystem stability, including pollinators and the resources they rely on. We used occurrence and climate data to predict the distribution of Apis mellifera in the Doce River Basin, south‐east Brazil, under baseline and future scenarios (2050).

Occurrence, morphology and growth of understory saplings in Swedish forests [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Growing demands for a multipurpose forestry leads to increased use of silvicultural systems that avoid clear-cutting. Regeneration in such systems is based on establishment and ingrowth of new seedlings under a more or less closed canopy.

Rooting Conifer Genetic Research: An Accessible and Efficient Transformation System

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Conifers serve as the cornerstone of global forest ecosystems, yet their genetic transformation faces notorious challenges. To overcome the intrinsic resistance of conifer adventitious roots to Agrobacterium/Rhizobium‐mediated transformation, we systematically and iteratively engineered the binary vector by introducing chimeric Ri plasmid ...

De‐Coupled Water and Nitrogen Translocation From Subsoil to Canopy of Temperate Forest Trees

open access: yesPlant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Water and nitrogen (N) transport from soil to canopy play a central role in tree functioning, yet direct evidence for their timing and coupling in mature forests remains scarce. We report results from a paired dual‐isotope (2H, 15N) tracer experiment in a temperate forest, comparing water and nitrate uptake patterns across tree species ...

Assessing the mechanical stability of trees in artificial plantations of Pinus nigra J. F. Arnold using the LWN tool under different site indexes

open access: yesAnnals of Silvicultural Research, 2017
In young black pine plantations, the most valuable and interesting thinning scheme is mainly based on the positive selection of dominant and well-shaped trees to be candidates for carbon sequestration, timber production and natural regeneration.

Wood and fibre properties of fertilized Norway spruce [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Very intensive forest management is relatively unexplored in Sweden, and while there is interest in pursuing e.g. the use of fertilizers on selected areas, there is concern about the quality of the wood when growth rate increases.

A review of ecological risks of coral reef interventions

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Coral reefs, essential for biodiversity, livelihoods, and global economies, face severe threats from climate change and other stressors. Curbing greenhouse emissions is crucial, but the urgent situation also calls for immediate intervention strategies.
