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.

Global patterns and climatic controls of forest structural complexity

Nature Communications, 2021
Forest structure depends both on extrinsic factors such as climate and on intrinsic properties such as community composition and diversity. Here, the authors use a dataset of stand structural complexity based on LiDAR measurements to build a global map ...

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 ...

Tree regeneration characteristics in limestone forests of the Cat Ba National Park, Vietnam

BMC Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Background The ability of overstory tree species to regenerate successfully is important for the preservation of tree species diversity and its associated flora and fauna.

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.

Climatic factors controlling stem growth of alien tree species at a mesic forest site: a multispecies approach

, 2023
The introduction of non-native species with various ecological and functional traits to European forests may be a potential tool for mitigating climate risks.

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
