- Abstract:
- ... In the last decades, the global interest in the role of forests as carbon sinks has grown, and thus, studies aimed at estimating tree biomass have progressively increased. However, few surveys have focused on young coppices, although they are abundant worldwide in areas regenerating after disturbance (e.g. wildfire, clearcutting). In the Mediterranean Basin, young coppices are very frequent, and m ...

- Abstract:
- ... The optimization of forest management under climate change uncertainty requires a comparison of many alternative management options under different climate scenarios and the use of stochastic and adaptive approaches. Empirical growth and yield models are highly suitable for this, provided they include sensitivity to environmental influences. Here, we present a climate-sensitive empirical growth an ...

- Abstract:
- ... As reported in several studies, the presence of Abies alba Mill (silver fir) has been declining throughout its natural range over a large part of mountainous belt in the Mediterranean area. In such a context, regeneration establishment depends mainly on the occurrence of a suitable combination of water and light availability. Thus, before planning any forest management practice, it is essential to ...

- Abstract:

We studied the impact of vole bark gnawing in forest plantations dominated by European beech in two Czech mountain ranges (the Hrubý Jeseník Mts, the Moravskoslezské Beskydy Mts) with different habitat conditions. Of the four present vole species, only the field vole caused significant damage, the impact of the bank vole being inconclusive. In both ranges, the key factor determining the presence a ...

- Abstract:
- ... Climate change in the boreal forests include, e.g., warming, increased tropospheric ozone concentration, higher nitrogen (N) deposition and increased risk of insect outbreaks. Climate change influences emissions of biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) affecting plant defense, communication and atmospheric feedbacks. We studied the effects of elevated temperature (ca. 1 °C), elevated ozone ( ...

- Abstract:
- ... The temporal variability of the forest sink is associated with high uncertainties in both its magnitude and the driving ecological and climatic processes. In this study, we assess the inter-annual variability (IAV) of carbon uptake using annually resolved aboveground biomass increment (ABI) estimates from 272 pseudorandomly sampled trees at a long-term monitoring plot in the dry valley of the Vala ...

We therefore assessed the long-term evolution of wood density over pre-industrial and contemporary periods, in a regional context free of management practices, atmospheric deposition and with restricted climatic change.

- Abstract:
- ... Afforestation after land abandonment and the occurrence of large fires have significantly altered the composition of pine-oak ecosystems in the Mediterranean since 1950s, the latter favouring the prevalence of oak forests and shrublands to that of pine forests. Nevertheless, our ability to integrate the processes driving these changes in modelling tools and to project them under future global chan ...

The main focus of this paper was the dynamics of Fraxinus angustifolia tree spatial patterns after the frequency of flooding events has markedly declined, especially as regards competition with Carpinus betulus and Acer campestre, the most rapidly expanding species in alluvial hardwood forests in Central Europe. The study was conducted in alluvial forests at the confluence of the Morava and Dyje r ...

Such estimations are of great interest for science but also of great importance for global reports on the carbon cycle and the global climate system. Even though there are various collections and generic meta-analyses available with biomass equations for mature trees, reports on biomass equat ...

- Abstract:

This study addresses extremely large fires (ELF, ≥2500 ha) in Portugal (2003–2013). We analysed the effect of fire-suppression force variation on ELF duration, size and growth rate, versus the effect of the concomitant fire environ ...

The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) forest certification system is a globally widespread market-driven mechanism that aims at responsible use and governance of forests, and its application is growing. However, the extent to which forest certification contributes effectively to maintaining forest biodiversity is an unresolved issue. We assessed the role of FSC certification for forest biodiversity ...
