Multivariate mixed models can be used to combine complex data into a single-step analysis to improve prediction accuracy of open-pollinated seed lots for all attributes and candidates, and iden...
In Appalachian hardwood forests, density, stem size, and productivity affected growth during drought for red oak, but not white oak species. Minor effects of density suggest that a single low t...
• Key message We demonstrate how multidimensional scaling can be used to combine forest inventory field data and airborne laser scanner data to obtain both predictions and model-assisted ...
The home-field advantage (HFA) hypothesis states that leaf litter decomposes faster in the habitat from which it was derived (i.e., home) than beneath a different plant species (i.e., away from...
Near- and mid-infrared spectroscopy allows for the detection of local patterns of forest soil properties. In combination with dendrometric data, it may be used as a prospective tool for determi...
A modelling method is proposed to highlight the effect of cambial age on the effective modulus of elasticity of laminated veneer lumber (LVL) according to bending direction and veneer thickness...
We studied the size-density trajectories of pure even-aged unthinned beech stands in the ranges of 625–40,000 trees per hectare initial densities and of 12–33 years of age. A new piecewise polynomial function ...
Phytosanitary risks are an increasing threat for forest, particularly due to climate change. Risk handling measures are effective economic strategies to manage such risks, so that Economics may...
Liocourt’s legacy for the law on steady-state uneven-aged forests has been questioned. We propose a new interpretation of his results published in 1898 and refer to a manuscript dated 1900 to c...
We present comparisons about biomass allocation between males and hermaphrodites of androdioecious Acer tegmentosum Maxim.. Different biomass allocation patt...
Integrated and systemic management of wind damage risk can help to address decision-making requirements, mitigate economic impacts of storms, and improve collective well-being of the f...
Titica vine provides useful raw fiber material. Using sampling schemes that reduce sampling error can provide direction for sustainable forest management of this vine. Sampling systema...
Intrinsic water use efficiency of Pinus canariensis (Sweet ex Spreng.) g...
A daily 1-km Pan-European weather dataset can drive the BIOME-BGC model for the estimation of current and future beech gross primary production (GPP). Annual beech GPP is affected primarily by ...
A variety of visually different floor samples are presented online to consumers. Based on their individual verbal judgements of appreciation for visual surface characteristics, four di...
K fertilization led to a significant increase in fine root biomass, fine root length, and root tip number in the mineral soil layer but does not affect the ecomycorrhizal community structure in the organic hor...
Variability of embolism resistance within individual trees was assessed in four Pinaceae species by using a single method of measurement: the Cavitron. Contrary to what has been previo...
We show that joint multivariate analyses of leaf morphological characters and molecular-genetic markers improve the taxonomic assignment in hybridizing European white oaks. However, mo...
We tested the life span of fine roots of Chinese fir trees and understory plants in two stands in subtropical China. Fine roots from understory plants were much more ephemeral than those from t...
• Key message Simulated and observed carbon stocks in Scots pine forests varied considerably with stand age. The contribution of biomass to the total forest carbon stocks increased and th...
Shrub cover has visible effects on Pinus nigra Arn ssp. salzmannii seedl...
The recommendations accompanying pesticide derogations from the FSC are not efficient for the management of leaf-cutting ants and termites in certified forest plantations in Brazil compar...
In the open-field warming experiment using infrared heaters, 3 °C warming affected soil respiration more in the deciduous Quercus variabilis Blume plot than ...
Compared with previously reported data, we found that plant litter decomposes faster in river ecosystem than on forest floor in a comparable period, but the dynamics of metallic elemen...
Skidding operations significantly influenced soil physical properties up to a 2-m distance from the wheel ruts in a forest ecosystem. The most significant changes in soil properties we...
CO 2 fluxes were measured during 18 months in a forest and a savannah in northern Benin. Higher values of carbon flux...
Carbon stock density was quite similar in planted vs natural forest of Masson’s pine ( Pinus massoniana Lamb.) in China across three ages (7, 15, and 50 year...
An efficient use of thermal treatment of wood requires a depth understanding of the chemical modifications induced. This is a prerequisite to avoid problems of process control, and to provide h...
Forest and soil types are the main factors that influence the distribution pattern of soil organic carbon (SOC) in forests across east China. In general, SOC density was largest in nor...
Slash and burn practices affect tropical forests. Our results showed strong introgression between Inga ingoides and Inga edulis in the species contact area. Interspecific hybridization could be sought to improve ...
Cork oak decline is widespread in all its distribution range and seems to be triggered mainly by both mismanagement and unfavorable climatic factors. As a result, cork oak forests become suscep...
Combined effects of litterfall and root turnover significantly increase topsoil carbon stocks in Norway spruce and European beech mixed forests, indicating local complementarity effects mediate...
We present simple models of forest net primary production (NPP) in Germany that show increasing productivity, especially in mountainous areas, under warming unless water becomes a limiting fact...
Increasing environmental pressures appearing over the last few years have led to important changes in the field of wood protection. In this context, new technologies, based either on t...
Key message In Chile, breeding radiata pine for growth has led to drifts in the degree of drought tolerance of the seedlings. Interior provenances gained a larger...
We provided a precise quantitative analysis of the factors at the origin of bark damage during harvesting operations and developed a model able to predict them accurately. The major factors wer...
We show that Pinus pinaster provenance affects both seed germination and seedling recruitment after fire. This information is crucial for managers to select ...
The use of mean characteristics of communities to infer absolute species variations may well constitute another “silent clash of paradigms” Austin (Oikos 86:170–178, 1999 ...
Acoustic techniques can be utilised to rank a large population of young trees for stiffness and stability for breeding purposes.
Tested on data from Tanzania, both existing species-specific and common biomass models developed elsewhere revealed statistically significant large prediction errors. Species-specific and commo...
Throughfall nutrient fluxes were generally higher in a mixed stand than in a pure stand of Oriental beech. Throughfall fluxes were higher than bulk precipitation fluxes except for nitr...
Coexisting Mediterranean oaks are differently predisposed to heat- and drought-induced dieback as a function of height, prior growth, wood anatomy, and growth responsiveness to temperatures. To...
A high-density plantation inhibited growth and biomass accumulation of Cunninghamia lanceolata (Lamb.) Hook. saplings, as well a...
Through a stochastic programming framework, risk preferences can be included in forest planning. The value of utilizing stochastic programming is always positive; however, the value depends on ...
A dynamic growth model was developed for maritime pine in Asturias. During the evaluation process, a stand volume ratio function proved the best of two alternative methods for estimating mercha...
The potential of European National Forest Inventories to harmonise stem quality estimation in European forests was identified despite considerable differences in existing national approaches. ...
Thermogravimetric analysis, performed on small samples of earlywood (EW) or latewood (LW), indicated that earlywood is more susceptible to thermal degradation than latewood. These results sugge...
Log-end splitting is one of the single most important defects in veneer logs. We show that log-end splitting in the temperate plantation species Eucalyptus nitens ...
