Abstract:
... Increasing species diversity is considered a promising strategy to mitigate the negative impacts of global change on forests. However, the interactions between regional climate conditions and species-mixing effects on climate-growth relationships and drought resistance remain poorly documented. In this study, we investigated the patterns of species-mixing effects over a large gradient of environme ...

Abstract:
... Disturbances have been recognized as a key factor shaping the species composition, structure and dynamics of natural forest ecosystems. In Europe, where forests driven by spontaneous processes have survived in relic form, knowledge about natural disturbance regimes is still fragmentary. To expand this knowledge, we reconstructed stand-level growth and analyzed the spatio-temporal pattern of releas ...

This study estimates the present and future distribution potential of 12 thermophilic and rare tree species for Europe based on climate-soil sensitive species distribution models (SDMs), and compares them to the two major temperate and boreal tree species (Fagus sylvatica and Picea abies).We used European national forest inventory data with 1.3 million plots to predict the distribution of the 12 + ...

Abstract:
... Mast seeding, the synchronised occurrence of large amounts of fruits and seeds at irregular intervals, is a reproductive strategy in many wind-pollinated species. Although a series of studies have investigated mast year (MY) patterns in European forest tree species at the regional scale, there are few recent evaluations at a European scale on the impact of weather variables (weather cues) and reso ...

Abstract:
... The frequent occurrence of very large trees (diameter at breast height DBH ≥ 80 cm) is a typical element of both primary and secondary old-growth forests. We analyzed the characteristics of very large trees in one of the few stands of lowland old-growth beech forest in Northwestern Europe, regenerated around 1775 and left unmanaged since 1986. We examined their density, diameter range, increment, ...

Abstract:
... The productivity and functioning of mixed-species forests often differs from that of monocultures. However, the magnitude and direction of these differences are difficult to predict because species interactions can be modified by many potentially interacting climatic and edaphic conditions, stand structure and previous management. Process-based forest growth models could potentially be used to dis ...

Quantitative descriptions of natural disturbance regimes are lacking for temperate forest regions in Europe, primarily because a long history of intensive land-use has been the overriding driver of forest structure and composition across the region. The following contribution is the first attempt to comprehensively describe the natural disturbance regime of the dominant forest communities in the D ...

Abstract:
... European beech (Fagus sylvatica) is one of the most important commercial tree species in Europe. This species is known to suffer from strong intraspecific competition for above- and below-ground resources and recent studies suggest that mixing beech with other species enhances its growth. European Beech is also known to be very sensitive to drought and natural regeneration of this species is there ...

Abstract:
... Forests of temperate Europe are climate sensitive ecosystems, and the current balance between the tree species will shift as climate becomes warmer and potentially drier. Especially changes in the dominant species have a strong impact on forest ecosystems because they fundamentally change life conditions of plants and animals living in the forest. Mette et al. (2013) introduced the climatic turnin ...

Abstract:
... There are contrasting reports whether and how tree diversity influences stand productivity in temperate deciduous forests. Tree species diversity may increase stand productivity in temperate forests through complementary resource use and/or facilitation if the resource considered limits productivity. In unpolluted temperate forests, net primary production is typically limited by nitrogen (N). Howe ...

Abstract:
... Although few undisturbed forests remain in Europe, forest reserves and deforested areas that are no longer profitable have the potential to develop stand structures similar to those which preceded human disturbances. The direct effects of management cessation on forest diversity are confounded by many factors that should be controlled when comparing managed and abandoned stands. In the European Al ...
