Abstract:
... The relationships among drought, surface water flow, and groundwater recharge are not straightforward for most forest ecosystems due to the strong role that vegetation plays in the forest water balance. Hydrologic responses to drought can be either mitigated or exacerbated by forest vegetation depending upon vegetation water use and how forest population dynamics respond to drought. Understanding ...

Abstract:
... The phreatophytic tree species Populus euphratica Oliv. (Euphrates poplar) forms riparian (tugai) forests along the Tarim River at the northern and eastern fringe of the hyper-arid Taklamakan Desert (Xinjiang province, NW China). These forests are threatened by decreasing groundwater levels due to excessive withdrawal of water for agricultural irrigation. At three plots each at the middle (Yingbaz ...

Abstract:
... In light of global biodiversity loss, the influence of species composition on ecosystem functioning has attracted increasing attention. However, questions remain whether neighbourhood species richness or identity is more important and what mechanisms drive these composition effects. We investigated the role of local species richness and identity on oak sapling growth in young forest stands, and at ...

Abstract:
... Survival and growth of trees in high-mountain regions is limited by harsh environmental conditions, and is therefore sensitive to climate change. The main aims of this study were to develop the regional boundary line for high-mountain spruce forests of the Low Tatra Mts., to reconstruct and compare the disturbance regime of investigated localities, and to present the impact of recent climate chang ...

Abstract:
... The growth structure of Eucalyptus plantations is the result of site environment, genetic material, and different types of interaction between neighboring plants. It is well known that sites that are more homogeneous result in greater forest productivity. However, additional factors inherent in the micro-environment or the quality of cuttings can lead to heterogeneous clonal biomass at the end of ...

Abstract:
... Lactarius deliciosus is a widely marketed non-wood forest product in Spain but little is known about silvicultural treatments that would enhance the production of this valued mushroom in the forests. Estimating a fungal crop by collecting sporocarps is expensive. Therefore we tested quantifying soil extraradical mycelium as a more efficient alternative to the inventory of sporocarps in undisturbed ...

Abstract:
... Tree microhabitats – e.g. cavities, bark pockets or crown dead wood – have been described as key habitat elements, which are particularly important for birds, bats and xylobiont insects. They are therefore vital for promoting biodiversity in forest ecosystems. The occurrence of such tree microhabitats in forest stands is closely related to forest management. In Central European cultural landscapes ...

Abstract:
... In Europe, wildfires are considered an integral part of forest dynamics mainly in the Mediterranean region and Fenno-Scandinavia. In temperate forests of Central Europe, by contrast, the ecological role of fire has largely been neglected even though the high frequency of wildfires in naturally fire-prone forests is well documented. In this study, we focused on semi-natural forests dominated by Pin ...

Abstract:
... Management of boreal forests with clear-cutting has a marked effect on forest biodiversity. One directly and severely affected group of species is ectomycorrhizal fungi (EMF), because of their dependence on living host trees. Key questions in nature conservation and potentially for fungal ecosystem services are whether EMF communities as regenerated stands age will develop into a similar compositi ...

Abstract:
... Dominant height growth equations, which given at some base age is defined as site index, is usually used to assess site quality. A flexible and accurate way to represent the potential productive capacity of forest stands of Eucalyptus spp. was developed. The generalized algebraic difference method was used, in which 15 dynamic equations were tested for modeling dominant height growth. The models w ...
