Classic silviculture, local knowledge and systemic silviculture

open access: yesL'Italia Forestale e Montana, 2011
Il lavoro, partendo da quanto inserito nel puntootto del manifesto e da alcune considerazioni postealla base della scelta di forme di trattamento propostedalla selvicoltura classica, ha evidenziato come le forme tradizionali di uso dei boschi, basate sui saperi locali, rappresentino modalita operative che si riconducono alla selvicoltura sistemica.E ...

Aspects of automation of selective cleaning [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Cleaning (pre-commercial thinning) is a silvicultural operation, primarily used to improve growing conditions of remaining trees in young stands (ca. 3 - 5 m of height). Cleaning costs are considered high in Sweden and the work is laborious.

Genome Editing in Root and Tuber Crop Development in Sub‐Saharan Africa

open access: yesPlant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Precision genome editing, particularly using Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR‐associated protein 9 (Cas9), is advancing crop improvement by enabling targeted and efficient genetic modifications. Root and tuber crops such as potato, cassava, sweet potato, and yam are vital for global food and nutritional

Shaping future forests: how can ecophysiology support climate‐smart forest management?

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 5, Page 2778-2813, June 2026.
Summary Climate change, particularly the associated increase in extreme events and disturbances, threatens the numerous environmental, social, and economic benefits that forests provide, both locally and globally. Heat and drought pose significant risks to forest ecosystems; the anticipated future climate is expected to exacerbate this trend ...

Will It Survive? Evaluating the Effects of Damage and Silviculture on Tree Seedling Survival Using Multi‐State Models

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
Plantations are the spearhead of adaptive silviculture, yet we do not understand how damage from abiotic and biotic agents relates to seedlings’ survival. In this study, we used multi‐state models, which originate from the medical field, to evaluate the relation between ‘damage history’, silvicultural treatments, and planted tree survival.

Influence of Deadwood, Tree‐Related Microhabitats, and Forest Structural Features on Saproxylic Arthropod Diversity

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
We used environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding across 135 temperate forest plots in Germany to examine how deadwood, tree‐related microhabitats (TreMs), and forest structure shape saproxylic arthropod communities. Structural equation modeling revealed that TreM richness and deadwood volume are key predictors of arthropod diversity, highlighting the ...
