Geomorphic Effects and Habitat Impacts of Large Wood at Restoration Sites in New England

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Large wood (used interchangeably with the term “instream wood”), which refers to trees, logs and other wood within a channel, is beneficial to river ecosystems and is being used more frequently as a component of river restoration projects. We identified metrics to evaluate the effectiveness of large wood to promote ecological and geomorphic ...

Environmental drivers influencing the ambrosia beetle community: The primary role of geographic and climatic drivers in chestnut‐growing areas

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Ethanol‐baited traps were placed in cultivated chestnut orchards (a) and mixed environments with assorted tree composition (b), over a 2‐year monitoring period in two valleys (NW Italy). A total of 118,286 ambrosia beetles was collected, representing six species.

Autoecology of sweet-chestnut stands in Castile (Spain)

Forest Systems, 2002
In this paper, we have established the physiographic, climatic and soil optimum and marginal habitat parameters of Castanea sativa stands in the regions of Castilla y León, Castilla-La Mancha and Madrid (Spain). Chestnut stands are usually located between 620 m and 1100 m elevation showing a wide range of variation in their rainfall, in contrast to the

The supply chain of sweet chestnuts in South Tyrol

ECONOMIA AGRO-ALIMENTARE, 2014
Italy is the largest producer of chestnuts in Europe and its most advanced and chestnut-oriented regions are Tuscany, Calabria, Campania and Piedmont. This study, however, focuses on the chestnut supply chain in South Tyrol (Alto Adige/Sudtirol), a northern province where chestnuts are currently of minor importance in relation to other crops, such as ...

Protecting temperate old‐growth forests as biotic microrefugia amid climate change

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Old‐growth forests are essential biotic microrefugia, providing high carbon storage, biodiversity, and stable microclimates that protect understorey species from climatic extremes. Their resilience to drought and disturbance makes them more effective than younger forests, yet habitat loss, fragmentation, and climate change increasingly threaten these ...
