Resilience assessment of lowland plantations using an ecosystem modeling approach
(MDPI, 2015)
Artículo / Artikulua,
As afforestation programs of former farmlands take hold in Taiwan to achieve a
variety of ecological and socio-economic values, it is becoming necessary to define best
forest management. Hence, we simulated mixed ...
Land use change effects on carbon and nitrogen stocks in the Pyrenees during the last 150 years: a modelling approach
(Elsevier, 2015)
Artículo / Artikulua,
In the southern Pyrenees, human population and therefore land uses have changed from forests to pastures, then crops, and back to pastures and secondary forests during the last two centuries. To understand what such rapid ...
Multiple pathway succession in coastal Tsuga heterophylla, Thuja plicata and Abies amabilis forests on northeastern Vancouver Island, British Columbia
(NRC Research Press, 2014)
Artículo / Artikulua,
Sustainable forest practices are often designed to mimic natural disturbance and successional processes, yet succession is poorly understood in many ecosystems. On northeastern Vancouver Island, the ‘disturbance hypothesis’ ...
Douglas-fir radial growth in interior British Columbia can be linked to long-term oscillations in Pacific and Atlantic sea surface temperatures
(NCR Research Press, 2017)
Artículo / Artikulua,
A major problem in modern dendrochronology is that the methods traditionally used for linking tree ring growth data to climate records are not well suited to reconstructing low-frequency climatic variations. In this study, ...
Survival and growth as measures of shade tolerance of planted western redcedar, western hemlock and amabilis fir seedlings in hemlock-fir forests of northern Vancouver Island
(Elsevier, 2017)
Artículo / Artikulua,
We examined two measures of shade tolerance (survival and growth) of planted 1-year-old seedlings of western redcedar (Thuja plicata (Donn ex D. Don)), western hemlock (Tsuga heterophylla ([Raf.] Sarg.)) and amabilis fir ...
Increased complementarity in water-limited environments in Scots pine and European beech mixtures under climate change
(Wiley, 2017)
Artículo / Artikulua,
Management of mixedwoods is advocated as an effective adaptation strategy to increase ecosystem
resiliency in the context of climate change. While mixedwoods have been shown to have greater resource
use efficiency ...
Productivity of forests ecoystems
(Earthscan, 2017)
Capítulo de libro / Liburuen kapitulua,
In this chapter, we examine both the factors affecting forest ecosystem productivity, and the ways that
forest management can influence these. Much forestry training is related to the manner in which
productivity can be ...
Drought-induced changes in wood density are not prevented by thinning in Scots pine stands
(MDPI, 2018)
Artículo / Artikulua,
Density is an important wood mechanical property and an indicator of xylem architecture
and hydraulic conductivity. It can be influenced by forest management and climate. We studied the
impact of thinning and climate ...
Bringing the natives back: identifying and alleviating establishment limitations of native hardwood species in a conifer plantation
(MDPI, 2018)
Artículo / Artikulua,
To facilitate the reintroduction of five native late-successional Taiwanese Fagaceae species
into Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria japonica (D.) Don) plantations, we experimented with methods to
alleviate their establishment ...
Tree-to-tree competition in mixed European beech-Scots pine forests has different impacts on growth and water-use efficiency depending on site condition.
(WileyBritish Ecological Society, 2018)
Artículo / Artikulua,
Mixed conifer-hardwood forests can be more productive than pure forests and they are increasingly considered as ecosystems that could provide adaptation strategies in the face of global ...
