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:
... High descending winds generated by convective storms are a frequent and a major source of tree mortality disturbance events in the Amazon, affecting forest structure and diversity across a variety of scales, and more frequently observed in western and central portions of the basin. Soil texture in the Central Amazon also varies significantly with elevation along a topographic gradient, with decrea ...

Abstract:
... Seasonal meteorological variability within and among years has significant impact on forest productivity, thus understanding its detailed effects on tree growth contributes to the knowledge of the processes controlling forest productivity. This study used high frequency measurements of dendrometer bands (every 2–4weeks over 1–2years) to assess tree growth of four different planted forest types (Br ...

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 ...

Abstract:
... Productivity of loblolly pine in the southeastern US is frequently limited by soil nutrient availability. Therefore, fertilization is commonly used to increase nutrient availability and subsequent growth. This study used the soil fertility rating (FR) in the 3-PG model (Landsberg and Waring, 1997) to predict fertilizer growth response of loblolly pine stands. We used the growth response following ...

Abstract:
... Mixed-species eucalypt forests of temperate Australia are assumed tolerant of most fire regimes based on the impressive capacity of the dominant eucalypts to resprout. However, empirical data to test this assumption are rare, limiting capacity to predict forest tolerance to emerging fire regimes including more frequent severe wildfires and extensive use of prescribed fire. We quantified tree morta ...

Abstract:
... Future anthropogenic-induced changes to the earth’s climate will likely include increases in temperature and changes in precipitation that will increase the frequency and severity of droughts. Insects and fungal diseases are important disturbances in forests, yet understanding of the role of drought in outbreaks of these agents is limited. Current knowledge concerning the effects of drought on her ...

Abstract:
... Temperate open woodlands are recognized as biodiversity hotspots. They are characterised by the presence of scattered, open-grown, often old and large trees (hereafter referred to as “solitary trees”). Such trees are considered keystone ecological features for biodiversity. However, the ecological role of solitary trees and their importance for woodland communities are still not fully understood. ...

Abstract:
... Increasing frequency of extremely dry and hot summers in some regions emphasise the need for silvicultural approaches to increase the drought tolerance of existing forests in the short term, before long-term adaptation through species changes may be possible. The aim of this meta-analysis was to assess the potential of thinning for improving tree performance during and after drought. We used resul ...

Abstract:
... Efforts to monitor the broad-scale impacts of drought on forests often come up short. Drought is a direct stressor of forests as well as a driver of secondary disturbance agents, making a full accounting of drought impacts challenging. General impacts can be inferred from moisture deficits quantified using precipitation and temperature measurements. However, derived meteorological indices may not ...

The investigation took place in the Solling (Germany, Lower Saxony) at 400m a.s.l. where cambisols have developed from silty Pleistocene deposits on Triassic sandstone. During thinning skid trails were laid out ...

Abstract:
... Bark stripping by Asiatic black bears (Ursus thibetanus) has a serious impact on conifer plantations in Japan, resulting in physical damage to the tree trunks and reduction of the value of the timber. The aim of this study was to clarify whether these plantations are more prone to damage by bears at particular times and sites, to more effectively prevent this damaging behavior. The study was condu ...

Abstract:
... Whenever a new invasive forest pathogen appears, resources are put into developing countermeasures such as breeding for resistance in the affected host species and/or by developing fungicide/biocontrol treatments. In most cases, little effort is placed into analysing the likelihood of those measures being implemented. Studying the reasoning behind management reactions of forest managers whose fore ...

Abstract:
... As wildland fire activity continues to surge across the western US, it is increasingly important that we understand and quantify the environmental drivers of fire and how they vary across ecosystems. At daily to annual timescales, weather, fuels, and topography are known to influence characteristics such as area burned and fire severity. An understudied facet, however, concerns how these factors i ...
