Forest landscape hydrology in a "new normal" era of climate and land use change
(2018)
Capítulo de libro / Liburuen kapitulua,
This chapter aims
to clarify the effects that changing climate and quantity,
quality and pattern of tree cover in forests have on the way
water becomes available for human use and ecosystem integrity.
To do this, the ...
Determinants of the forest-water relationship
(2018)
Capítulo de libro / Liburuen kapitulua,
Our analysis of forest-water relations
addresses four important subsystems of a linked
planetary social-ecological system: climate, forests, water
and people. In this chapter, we consider how each of
these subsystems ...
Climate-forest-water-people relations: seven system delineations
(2018)
Capítulo de libro / Liburuen kapitulua,
In this chapter, we review current scientific understanding and hypotheses at seven system delineations that build up from the level of a ‘tree’ interacting with water, to that of a social-ecological system at the scale ...
Modelling the management of forest ecosystems: importance of wood decomposition
(Wiley, 2018)
Artículo / Artikulua,
Scarce and uncertain data on woody debris decomposition rates are available for calibrating forest ecosystem models, owing to the difficulty of their empirical estimations. Using field data from three experimental sites which ...
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 ...
Determinants and tools to evaluate the ecological sustainability of using forest biomass as an alternative energy source
(2018)
Capítulo de libro / Liburuen kapitulua,
Forest biomass, the most ancient of fuels, is again in the center of renewable energy
production. This chapter provides an introductory view of the main factors that condition
the ecological sustainability of this energy ...
Sustainable management of metasequoia glyptostroboides plantation forests in Shanghai
(MDPI, 2018)
Artículo / Artikulua,
Urban forestry is increasingly used as a tool for climate change mitigation and for providing environmental services to inhabitants of urban areas. However, tree species used in urban forestry are usually different from ...
