Bringing the natives back: identifying and alleviating establishment limitations of native hardwood species in a conifer plantation
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 ... -
Calculadora de sostenibilidad FIRST-Heat Navarra: generando energía sostenible al reducir el riesgo de incendios forestales en comunidades rurales
El cambio climático, la expansión urbanística o el aumento del uso recreativo en zonas forestales están aumentando la probabilidad de ocurrencia de incendios forestales. Las comunidades rurales pueden afrontar la oportunidad ... -
CO2 fertilization plays a minor role in long-term carbon accumulation patterns in temperate pine forests in the southwestern Pyrenees
Isolating the long-term fertilization effect of CO 2 from other climate- and site-related effects on tree growth has been proven a challenging task. To isolate long-term effects of [CO2] on water use efficiency at ... -
Determinants and tools to evaluate the ecological sustainability of using forest biomass as an alternative energy source
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 ... -
Douglas-fir radial growth in interior British Columbia can be linked to long-term oscillations in Pacific and Atlantic sea surface temperatures
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, ... -
Drought-induced changes in wood density are not prevented by thinning in Scots pine stands
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 ... -
ENSO and NAO affect long-term leaf litter dynamics and stoichiometry of Scots pine and European beech mixedwoods
Litterfall dynamics (production, seasonality and nutrient composition) are key factors influencing nutrient cycling. Leaf litter characteristics are modified by species composition, site conditions and water availability. ... -
¿Están los bosques mixtos pirenaicos de pino silvestre y haya en el camino hacia la saturación por nitrógeno?
Las actividades humanas causan altos niveles de deposición atmosférica crónica de N que pueden estar trastornando el ciclo del N en los bosques de los Pirineos occidentales. Para probar esta hipótesis, se han investigado ... -
Highlighting complex long-term succession pathways in mixed forests of the Pacific Northwest: a Markov chain modelling approach
Forest succession is an ecological phenomenon that can span centuries. Although the concept of succession was originally formulated as a deterministic sequence of different plant communities by F. Clements more than a ... -
Increased complementarity in water-limited environments in Scots pine and European beech mixtures under climate change
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 ... -
Land use change effects on carbon and nitrogen stocks in the Pyrenees during the last 150 years: a modelling approach
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 ... -
Maintaining ecosystem function by restoring forest biodiversity: reviewing decision-support tools that link biology, hydrology and geochemistry
Not all forest models are applicable to a meta-modelling approach. Hence, the objective of the research presented here was to identify and compare the available forest models already being used in research, and to evaluate ... -
Multiple pathway succession in coastal Tsuga heterophylla, Thuja plicata and Abies amabilis forests on northeastern Vancouver Island, British Columbia
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’ ... -
Productivity of forests ecoystems
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 ... -
Resilience assessment of lowland plantations using an ecosystem modeling approach
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 ... -
Simulando la interacción entre la densidad inicial y los flujos de agua y nutrientes para comprender el desarrollo de rodales mixtos de Pinus sylvestris y Fagus sylvatica bajo cambio climático
La gestión de bosques mixtos se ha convertido en una estrategia de adaptación para reducir los riesgos relacionados con el cambio climático. A su vez, los modelos ecológicos pueden ser una herramienta útil para el estudio ... -
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
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 ... -
Synergies between climate change, biodiversity, ecosystem function and services, indirect drivers of change and human well-being in forests
Climate change is having impacts on the biodiversity and structure of many ecosystems. In this chapter, we focus on its impacts on forests. We will focus on how the potential climate change impacts on forest biodiversity ...
