Forest Carbon Management: a Review of Silvicultural Practices and Management Strategies Across Boreal, Temperate and Tropical Forests

Current Forestry Reports, 2021
Carbon sequestration and storage in forest ecosystems is often promoted as a solution for reducing CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere. Yet, our understanding is lacking regarding how forest management strategies affect the net removal of greenhouse ...

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.

Relationship between tree growth and physical dimensions of Fagus sylvatica crowns assessed from terrestrial laser scanning

iForest - Biogeosciences and Forestry, 2015
Measurements of physical tree crown dimensions were of subjective character in the past, even though they can be considered important for the management of many silvicultural operations, such as timing of thinning operations. In our study we investigated

Growth, morphology, and biomass allocation of recently planted seedlings of seven European tree species along a light gradient

iForest - Biogeosciences and Forestry, 2020
Light is one of the most critical factors controlling tree survival and growth. Limited light availability induces phenotypic plasticity, thus enabling plants to adapt to suboptimal conditions.

The functional role of temperate forest understorey vegetation in a changing world

Global Change Biology, 2019
Temperate forests cover 16% of the global forest area. Within these forests, the understorey is an important biodiversity reservoir that can influence ecosystem processes and functions in multiple ways.

Oak forest carbon and water simulations:Model intercomparisons and evaluations against independent data [PDF]

, 2004
Models represent our primary method for integration of small-scale, process-level phenomena into a comprehensive description of forest-stand or ecosystem function.

PypeTree: A Tool for Reconstructing Tree Perennial Tissues from Point Clouds

Sensors, 2014
The reconstruction of trees from point clouds that were acquired with terrestrial LiDAR scanning (TLS) may become a significant breakthrough in the study and modelling of tree development.

The Presence of IUCN Red List Tree Species in Dependence of Site Characteristics in the Vietnamese Cat Ba National Park

Diversity, 2020
Rare or endangered tree species are important components of forest ecosystems and play a crucial role in management and conservation. Understanding what influences their presence is critical for managers, conservationists and planners.

Mapping of intact forest landscapes in Sweden according to Global forest watch methodology [PDF]

, 2002
Currently, most of the world’s forests are directly or indirectly affected by some kind of human activity. More people are getting concerned with the state of tropical forests.

What does literature tell us about the relationship between forest structural attributes and species richness in temperate forests? – A review

Ecological Indicators, 2023
The effects of forest management on species richness and diversity have become important research interests. The need to maintain biodiversity for forest ecosystem functioning has led to the question of how strongly and in what ways forest management ...
