Shrub facilitation increases plant diversity along an arid scrubland-temperate rainforest boundary in South America [PDF]

, 2012
Theoretical models predict nurse plant facilitation enhances species richness by ameliorating stressful environmental conditions and expanding distributional ranges of stress-intolerant species into harsh environments.

Understory Vegetation Dynamics in Non-Native Douglas Fir Forests after Management Abandonment—A Case Study in Two Strict Forest Reserves in Southwest Germany

Diversity, 2022
The non-native Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) is widely distributed in Europe and promoted by forestry due to its assumed resistance against climate change.

Biomass production in mixed short rotation coppice with poplar‐hybrids (Populus spp.) and black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia L.)

GCB Bioenergy, 2021
Short rotation coppice plays an important role for biomass production. Mixing fast‐growing tree species in short rotation coppices may lead to overyielding if the species have complementarity traits.

Spatial Patterns of Structural Complexity in Differently Managed and Unmanaged Beech-Dominated Forests in Central Europe

Remote Sensing, 2020
One of the main goals of modern silviculture is to emulate the structural complexity of old-growth forests. In this context, it is of advantage to identify a target state of structural complexity at the stand level and to analyze the spatial ...

Yeasts from temperate forests

Yeast, 2022
AbstractYeasts are ubiquitous in temperate forests. While this broad habitat is well‐defined, the yeasts inhabiting it and their life cycles, niches, and contributions to ecosystem functioning are less understood. Yeasts are present on nearly all sampled substrates in temperate forests worldwide.

Quantifying Understory Complexity in Unmanaged Forests Using TLS and Identifying Some of Its Major Drivers

Remote Sensing, 2021
The structural complexity of the understory layer of forests or shrub layer vegetation in open shrublands affects many ecosystem functions and services provided by these ecosystems.

Quantifying the target state of forest stands managed with the continuous cover approach – revisiting Möller's “Dauerwald” concept after 100 years

Trees, Forests and People, 2020
Continuous cover forestry is often considered a management alternative to age-class forestry, in closer compliance with economic as well as societal demands. It is further thought to provide forest stands of high stability and resilience under conditions
