Annals of Forest Science is publishing a series of review papers to celebrate 50 years of activities as a journal in forest and wood science. The reviews emphasize the extent to w...
We review the recent findings on the influence of drought on tree mortality, growth or ecosystem functioning in tropical rainforests. Drought plays a major role in shaping tropical rainforests ...
The real tissue structure, including local anisotropy directions, is defined from anatomical images of wood. Using this digital representation, thermal/mass diffusivity and mechanical propertie...
This review highlights some of the discoveries and applications made possible by “omics” technologies over the last 10 years and provides perspectives for pioneering research to increase our un...
Increasing human impacts on forests, including unintentional movement of pathogens, climate change, and large-scale intensive plantations, are associated with an unprecedented rate of new disea...
We demonstrate that, beyond leaf phenology, the phenological cycles of wood and fine roots present clear responses to environmental drivers in temperate and boreal trees. These drivers should b...
Based on their impact on many ecosystems, we review the relevance of mosses in research regarding stress tolerance, metabolism, and cell biology. We introduce the potential use of mosses as complementary model s...
Several aspects of the life cycle of the Périgord black truffle have been elucidated only recently, while others remain either controversial or unstudied. In this paper, we present a revised li...
Wood machining is compulsory both for timber separation and the surfacing of wooden objects. The anisotropy, cellular nature and multi-scale level organisation of wood make its cutting complica...
Green chemistry for and from wood has developed numerous industrial products, namely biosourced, green wood adhesives and preservatives, foams, composite matrices, laminates, hard and flexible plastics, flexible...
This paper describes how the combination of genomics, genetic engineering, and 3D structural characterization has helped clarify the redox regulatory networks in poplar with consequences not on...
Forty years after clear-cutting mixed old-growth forest (broadleaf/Korean pine) in the Changbai Mountain area (Northeast China), a mixed forest with natural broadleaf regeneration and larch pla...
The altered proportion of Korean pine to broadleaved tree species following selective logging strongly affected post-harvest regeneration and species coexistence pattern in a temperate...
Biomass equations are presented for five tree species growing in a natural forest in Ethiopia. Fitted models showed more accurate estimations than published generalized models for this dry trop...
Genetic diversity appears to be unaffected by disturbance in a stand of the light-demanding Neotropical tree V. michelii. Although spatial genetic structure...
We compiled 2,458 biomass equations from 168 destructive sampling studies in Indonesia. Unpublished academic theses contributed the largest share of the biomass equations. The availability of t...

The study developed equations for predicting aboveground and belowground biomass of planted and coppiced Eucalyptus globulus in NW Spain. It was the first published work considering site effects on aboveground b...
In mixed forests, coarse woody debris promotes the successful establishment and growth of conifers and beech. In contrast to beech and fir, older spruce seedlings were only present on coarse wo...
This research demonstrates that inadequate chilling has the potential to slow both the rate and speed of bud burst of two important European forest species; Betula pubescens and Populus tremula.
Exceedance of critical limits in soil solution samples was more frequent in intensively monitored forest plots across Europe with critical loads for acidity and eutrophication exceeded compared to other plots .....
In the original paper two errors were spotted after online publication.

Foliar phosphorus concentrations have decreased in Europe during the last 20 years. High atmospheric nitrogen deposition and climate change might be responsible for this trend. Continued decrea...
The ICP Forests network can be a platform for large-scale mycorrhizal studies. Mapping and monitoring of mycorrhizas have untapped potential to inform science, management, conservation and policy regarding di.....
Atmospheric deposition of nitrogen compounds and soil and foliar variables related to N deposition resulted important factors accounting for the variability of defoliation in European forest pl...

Few integration steps (adding low-cost ozone measurements, link to existing conventional monitors, joint data processing) transformed the traditional forest monitoring network into a multifunct...
The probability of pine sawfly damage was highest in drier sites, while Gremmeniella abietina damage showed an opposite pattern. ICP Forests and rolling National Forest Inventory (NFI) data hav...
We used tree ring analysis to assess the response of Pinus pinea to climate change in South Iberia. Climate–growth relationships changed over time, with grea...

Climate change is likely to heavily affect the provision of goods and services of Mediterranean forests. Our results strongly point out the need to develop adaptive strategies to mitig...
Water use patterns of understorey vegetation are species-dependent. Calluna vulgaris showed little or no regulation of transpira...
The pine shoot beetle, Tomicus piniperda, is a potential vector of the pitch canker disease pathogen. The insect could transmit the pathogenic fungus during its maturation or regenerat...
We assessed tree frost tolerance using electrolyte leakage and a method based on irreversible diameter change of branches. It was shown that irreversible diameter change correlates with electro...
Content and type of extractives vary considerably among woody species in the Congo Basin tropical forest. They influence the natural durability of wood with respect to fungal and insect degrada...
The identification of an anomaly with deleterious effect and Mendelian segregation (3 normal: 1 abnormal) allowed the detection of a marker linked to a locus for the anomalous phenotype. This m...
Xylem and soil CO 2 fluxes in coppiced oak forests increase with clonal size, suggesting larger expenditures of energ...
In this paper it is shown that a simultaneous adjustment provides more efficient estimates of total tree biomass than with independent modelling for biomass estimates by compartments (canopy, b...

Spruce trees emit significant amounts of trans-4-thujanol, but the amount of this compound in bark decreases with tree age. Trans-4-thujanol acts as an efficient repellent for the bark...
Aleppo pine stands can be made more resilient to disturbances such as forest fires, by introducing native and resprouting hardwood species. Pine density impacts seedling establishment by modify...
Three options are proposed to improve the accuracy of national forest biomass estimates and decrease the uncertainty related to tree model selection depending on available data and national con...
Ultrasounds overestimate the MOE value. This paper analyses the causes of this difference and opens the perspective for a novel method allowing the calculation of the correct MOE from ultrasoun...
We present a comprehensive database of 478 allometric equations to estimate biomass of trees and other life forms in Mexican forest and scrubland ecosystems.
Improving the precision of forest biomass estimates requires prioritizing the different sources of errors. In a tropical moist forest in central Africa, the choice of the allometric equation wa...
Knowing the uncertainty for biomass equations is critical for their use and error propagation of biomass estimates. Presented here is a method to estimate uncertainty for equations where only ...
It is with increasing interest that wood materials are now being considered as a green resource. For improving the product performance of wood derived materials new ways of separating them from wood are requir...
