Simulated continuous mounding improvements through ideal machine vision and control

Silva Fennica, 2016
To promote the growth and survival of regenerated forests, site preparation prior to tree planting on clearcuts is necessary. This is often performed with scarifiers, either through trenching or mounding.

Scale Dependence of Woody Plant β‐Diversity in a Tropical Rainforest Metacommunity

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
Using a scale‐explicit metacommunity framework in a tropical rainforest, we examined how woody plant compositional dissimilarity and its replacement and richness‐difference components vary across spatial extents. Compositional dissimilarity increased modestly with extent but remained consistently dominated by species replacement, while environmental ...

Fire Moderation in Southeast Asia Mitigates the Adverse Effects of Aerosols on Spring Green‐Up

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Transboundary fire‐derived aerosols in Southeast Asia pose a persistent regional environmental challenge, with impacts extending beyond air quality to ecosystem function and carbon dynamics, yet their effects on seasonal phenology remain poorly understood.

Weak basis for “systemic” silviculture

Forest@, 2009
An analysis is presented of the ecological basis of the so-called “selvicoltura sistemica” (systemic silviculture). Systemic silviculture implies an “a-structured forest”: the meaning of this particular condition is discussed in ...

Decadal Amplification of Wildfire‐Induced Perturbations in Summer Surface Energy Partitioning Across the Boreal Forest Biome

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Wildfires fundamentally reorganize the surface energy balance of boreal forests, yet the temporal evolution of these perturbations under rapid Arctic amplification remains insufficiently understood. Integrating multi‐source remote observations, climate reanalysis, and a potential outcomes framework, we quantified decadal trends in fire‐induced

Higher Vulnerability But Faster Recovery in Planted Than Natural Forests During the 2022 Compound Drought–Heatwave in China's Yangtze River Basin

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Although planted forests (PFs) contribute greatly to soil and water conservation in the Yangtze River Basin and are central to afforestation efforts in China, their resilience to compound drought and heatwave (CDHW) events remains poorly understood.

Life cycle assessment approach of silviculture and timber harvesting of Norway spruce – a case study in the Czech Republic

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change
Compared to other sectors, the long rotation period in forest management makes it difficult to carry out a life cycle assessment (LCA). Data collection is not possible in a short time frame but would require decades.

Enhancing structural heterogeneity in managed forest landscapes promotes gamma but not beta diversity in understorey plant communities

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 7, July 2026.
Our findings highlight the benefits of enhancing structural heterogeneity for understorey plant diversity in managed forest landscapes. Specifically, management strategies that create a spatial mosaic of interventions, such as combining single‐tree removal with gap felling, can increase the variety of light niches among forest patches, thereby ...

Growth, mortality and regeneration responses to ecological forestry treatments are shaped by local factors, species, and initial treatment impact

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 7, July 2026.
In mixed stands, coniferous species showed growth benefits when coexisting with broadleaf species, possibly due to reduced intraspecific competition or improved access to resources mediated by broadleaf neighbours. This growth advantage was not observed for broadleaf species, indicating asymmetric benefits in mixed stands.
