The importance of biomass net uptake for a trace metal budget in a forest stand in north-eastern France [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The trace metal (TM: Cd, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn) budget (stocks and annual fluxes) was evaluated in a forest stand (silver fir, Abies alba Miller) in north-eastern France.

Determinants of soil organic matter chemistry in maritime temperate forest ecosystems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
While the influence of climate, vegetation, management and abiotic site factors on total carbon budgets and turn-over is intensively assessed, the influences of these ecosystem properties on the chemical complexity of soil organic matter (SOM) remains ...

Predicting Tree Species From 3D Laser Scanning Point Clouds Using Deep Learning

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Automated species classification from 3D point clouds is still a challenge. It is, however, an important task for laser scanning-based forest inventory, ecosystem models, and to support forest management.

Globally consistent climate sensitivity of natural disturbances across boreal and temperate forest ecosystems

open access: yesEcography, 2020
Disturbance regimes are changing in forests across the world in response to global climate change. Despite the profound impacts of disturbances on ecosystem services and biodiversity, assessments of disturbances at the global scale remain scarce.

Ecosystem carbon balance of temperate forests differing in elevation and nitrogen availability [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
This PhD thesis addressed the carbon (C) balance of temperate deciduous forests across natural gradients of temperature and nitrogen (N) availability, the major drivers of net primary production (NPP) and the soil C balance.

Allometric equations, stem density and biomass expansion factors for Cryptomeria japonica in Mount Halla, Jeju Island, Korea

open access: yesJournal of Ecology and Environment, 2014
This study was conducted to develop allometric equations and to determine the stem density and biomass expansion factor (BEF) for the estimation of the aboveground and belowground biomass of Cryptomeria japonica in Jeju Island, Korea.

Tree species traits affect which natural enemies drive the Janzen-Connell effect in a temperate forest

open access: yesNature Communications, 2020
A prominent tree species coexistence mechanism suggests host-specific natural enemies inhibit seedling recruitment at high conspecific density (negative conspecific density dependence).

On the structural complexity of central European agroforestry systems: a quantitative assessment using terrestrial laser scanning in single-scan mode

open access: yes, 2023
Agroforestry systems provide important ecosystem functions and services. They have the potential to enrich agricultural monocultures in central Europe with structural elements otherwise absent, which is expected to be accompanied by a surplus of ...

Advanced Aboveground Spatial Analysis as Proxy for the Competitive Environment Affecting Sapling Development

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2019
Tree saplings are exposed to a competitive growth environment in which resources are limited and the ability to adapt determines general vitality and specific growth performance.

Assessing Understory Complexity in Beech-dominated Forests (Fagus sylvatica L.) in Central Europe—From Managed to Primary Forests

open access: yesSensors, 2019
Understory vegetation influences several ecosystem services and functions of European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) forests. Despite this knowledge on the importance of understory vegetation, it is still difficult to measure its three-dimensional ...
