Abstract:
... Large uncertainties characterize forest development under global climate change. Although recent studies have found widespread increased tree mortality, the patterns and processes associated with tree death remain poorly understood, thus restricting accurate mortality predictions. Yet, projections of future forest dynamics depend critically on robust mortality models, preferably based on empirical ...

Abstract:
... European natural mountain Norway spruce (Picea abies) forests are currently subject to extensive disturbances. An improved understanding of the self-regulated regenerative capacity of this forest type is therefore needed. We used the last remnant of natural mountain Norway spruce forests in central northwestern Europe (BNF Brocken natural forest), to analyze (1) the diversity of structure and age ...

Subject:
biodiversity; forest reserves; forests; habitats; politics; Central European region; Germany
Abstract:
... A major goal of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) is to improve the protection of biodiversity. One approach to meet this goal is the implementation of strictly protected forest reserves (SPFRs). Many countries have adopted this approach and set target values for SPFRs, for example Germany aims to set aside 5 % of the forest area by 2020 (BMU, Strategie zur Biologischen Vielfalt, 2007). ...

Abstract:
... Recent assessments have identified significant shortfalls in the current Natura 2000 network approach for identifying protected areas throughout the European Union. A more systematic conservation network planning approach that adopts strategic development options and considers the occurrences of species and habitats within the distribution ranges of species across larger areas is needed in order t ...

5. Dead wood research in forest reserves of Northwest-Germany: methodology and results

Forstwissenschaftliches Centralblatt 1999 v.118 no.1-6 pp. 167-180
ISSN:

Subject:
dead wood; forest inventory; forest reserves; forests; habitats; monitoring; mortality; time series analysis; tree mortality; Germany
Abstract:
... Results and methodology of deadwood assessment in 7 forest reserves in Lower Saxony are presented and suggestions for a deadwood concept in managed forests are derived. The results are based on time series data of approximately 1 ha core areas in unmanaged forest reserves. The monitoring period comprises 19 to 25 years. For the third inventory the methodology was changed considerably in order to o ...
