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 ... -
Coarse woody debris' invertebrate community is affected directly by canopy type and indirectly by thinning in mixed scots pine-European beech forests
Research Highlights: Thinning and tree species alter the forest floor microclimate by modifying canopy cover, radiation, wind, and humidity. Thus, forest management can directly influence the edaphic mesofauna responsible ... -
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. ... -
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 ... -
Multi-scale approach to forest functioning of Pinus sylvestris L. and Fagus sylvatica L. mixtures of the Pyrenees under global change
Hoy en día, los bosques mixtos son cada vez más reconocidos como superiores a los bosques puros en cuanto a la provisión de una completa gama de bienes y servicios ecosistémicos. La gestión de los bosques en una condición ... -
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 ... -
Sustainable management of metasequoia glyptostroboides plantation forests in Shanghai
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 ... -
Tree-to-tree competition in mixed European beech-Scots pine forests has different impacts on growth and water-use efficiency depending on site condition.
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 ...
