Reforestation programmes have been widely used in many forest areas worldwide but scarcely compared to nearby natural woodlands. As an example, we selected a Pinus ...
This study developed and tested models to predict the belowground biomass and root/shoot ratio using aboveground field measures. The predictive power of such indirect measurement is useful for ...

Traditional coppice conversion to high forest through periodic thinning requires a long period to attain the regeneration stage. We showed that anticipating seed cutting can accelerate the prog...
Despite variable dynamics of genetic diversification at the different altitudinal levels, strong gene flow tends to standardize larch genetic diversity: the larch forest distributed along the a...
To implement adaptive management in post-fire-regenerated Aleppo pine forests, we developed specific biomass equations in two early-thinned climatically contrasting stands. We found thinning en...
During outbreak, a discrepancy between larval performance and the main host used for egg laying was found in Orgyia trigotephras. It results mostly from intraspecific competi...
The long-term effect of forest fires in the regeneration of Pinus canariensis was studied. Forest fires had little long-term effects on seed production, seed...
In modelling regeneration patterns, parametric regression is recommended because it can account for the spatial and temporal correlation present in the data, whereas decision trees allow more c...
More than half of the dead trees fell down within decade. Besides, DBH effect on snag longevity varied by tree species and was not detected for some species. Management of long-lived snags in t...
We adjusted generic models for species-rich forest types and specific models for 15 species. Regression assumptions, lack of fitness and goodness of fit and comparison between models were asses...
Spatial heterogeneity of soil resources is linked to tree patch distribution in Mediterranean cork oak woodlands. Tree patch distribution modifies soil traits by varying litterfall inputs due t...
Seed storage temperature influences root anatomy of the endangered Populus nigra, and consequently may alter nutrient absorption. A lower temperature during seed storage (−20...
Bud burst disruption, carbon depletion and tree dieback in spring were experimentally linked to N shortage the previous autumn. Dieback occurred despite tree N concentrations were compatible wi...
With a retrospective growth analysis over 20 years, we showed that silviculture (in particular thinning) of Cedrus atlantica (Manetti) could to some extent m...
Climate variables improve individual-tree mortality models for fir, oak and birch.
Forest disturbance affects the within-population distribution of genetic diversity, but not its overall levels, in a tropical pioneer tree species. In particular, clumps of related saplings wit...
Strong genetic correlations were observed between Pilodyn measurement and wood density, and between acoustic velocity and MFA. Combination of Pilodyn penetration and acoustic velocity measureme...
The selection of stable metrics can generate reliable models between different data sets. The height metrics provide the greatest stability, specifically the higher percentiles and the mode. He...
Climate change will affect regeneration. Assisted migration is a climate change adaptation strategy that is associated with risks regarding transfer distance. Thermal time models can provide in...
The maternal genotype has a significant effect on most germination traits of Eucalyptus globulus seeds. These differences can be partly explained by genetic-...
We forecasted the effects of climate change and forest conversion options on common forest bird species by employing nation-wide high-resolution models. The results give details on how, where, ...
Individual-tree seeding height growth models developed using tree inventory data were comparable to those requiring the unique observation of point-based canopy structure data at each seedling.
Visual aspects of wood are appreciated in interior design and many other high-end applications. This study focuses on consumer preferences which are examined regarding visually differe...
Adaptation of forest management to climate change requires an understanding of the effects of climate on forests, industries and communities; prediction of how these effects might change over t...
N addition decreased soil inorganic P availability, microbial biomass P, and acid phosphatase activity in the larch plantation. Soil inorganic P availability decreased after N addition due to t...
Pruning one third of crown length in summer produced the least number of epicormic branches after two growing seasons. Epicormic branches can be removed without compromising tree growth. ...
Warming will induce an upward displacement of Scots pine, but this can be partially mitigated by maintaining a more intense land use.
Forest maturity benefits biodiversity by providing positive effects on key arthropod assemblages such as spider and ground beetles, which play a fundamental role in the ecosystem. ...
Based on analyses using 20 genetically connected radiata pine trials and on the pattern of trial-trial genetic correlations, current regionalisation of breeding in southern Australia seems just...
Two Acacia species adapted to contrasting habitats showed different response of photoprotective and antioxidative defence systems to imposed drought and heat...
Thanks to the concomitant recordings of vegetation and deer browsing sampled first in 1976, then resurveyed in 2006, we show that forest plant communities shifted in response to deer population...
Natural regeneration of beech, maple and fir was investigated in relation to irradiance, ground vegetation and soil features. Seedling establishment may be favoured by creating small and irregu...

The requirement for rebuilding forecrop stands besides replacement of meadow vegetation with forest plants and formation of soil humus is the presence of a compatible ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungal community.
Current production from natural forests will not satisfy future world demand for timber and fuel wood, and new land management options are required.
There are many stand property–density relationships in ecology which represent emergent properties of plant populations. Examples include self-thinning, competition–density effect, constant final yield, and ag...
Black poplar (Populus nigra L.) is an alluvial forest tree species whose genetic pool is decreasing in Europe. Poplar trees produce short-lived seeds that do not store well.

Tree orientation is controlled by asymmetric mechanical stresses set during wood maturation. The magnitude of maturation stress differs between longitudinal and tangential directions, and between normal and te...
Managing forests under climate change requires adaptation. The adaptive capacity of forest tree populations is huge but not limitless. Integrating evolutionary considerations into adaptive forestry practice wi...
Powdery mildew is one of the most common diseases of oaks in Europe. After alarming reports in the beginning of the twentieth century following the presumed introduction of the invasive fungus, the disease has...
An important feature of forest nursery management is the production of first-rate planting stock, which is closely connected with an adequate development of ectomycorrhizas on seedling roots.
Clonal variation of flower production has been investigated thoroughly in coniferous tree species because of the importance of flowering in seed production from seed orchards. However, the inheritance of flowe...
Loss of woodlands and degradation of vegetation and soil have been described for all Mediterranean-type ecosystems worldwide. In the Western Iberian Peninsula, overexploitation of evergreen cork oak land use s...

Taxus woodlands suffer from a lack of natural regeneration across its whole distribution range.
It has been estimated that about half of a plant’s total hydraulic resistance is located belowground, but it is not well known how temperate tree species differ in root hydraulic properties and how these trait...
