Cedrus deodara; climate change; decline; forest stands; forests; growth rings; models; spring; temperate zones; temperature; tree age; tree growth; trees; uncertainty; Himalayan region
Abstract:
... The recent warming in the mountain regions affect forest productivity in terms of tree growth, especially in the Himalayan region. However, the effects of climate change on the response of radial growth of different age-class trees in the Himalayan region remains unclear. The sensitivity of different age-class trees can differ from younger to old age-class tree growth which create uncertainty in t ...

Betula; Landsat; Quercus; biodiversity; coppicing; cultural heritage; energy; forests; prices; villages; woodlands; Central European region; Germany
Abstract:
... Coppicing is an ancient form of forest and woodland management. Coppice harbours important biodiversity and has a high cultural value, but has been transformed into high forest, neglected and abandoned over vast areas of Central Europe during the past century. Hotspots of remaining, active coppice systems are often under the radar of national and international forest and conservation authorities, ...

Abstract:
... Widespread increases in tree mortality have fueled the debate on the mechanisms of heat- and drought-related tree death. While much research focused on the immediate causes of tree death, the role of predisposing factors for death is not well understood. We employed tree-ring and climate sensitivity analysis of growth to study the importance of legacy effects of past disturbances for growth patter ...
