Few studies have linked the origin of dispersed tree seeds with their post-dispersal fate. We show that habitat-dependent mortality in a pedunculate oak ( Quercus robur ...
Centenary forest statistics informing major attributes of French forests were digitized, checked for consistency, and used to infer forest dynamics. Comparison to forest inventory data highligh...
National Forest Inventories (NFIs) hold promise for monitoring and valuing of non-productive forest functions, including social and recreational services. European countries use a range of meth...

This study presents an easy-to-apply variable probability sample design that is an efficient and cost-effective method to correct for local bias in regional LiDAR-assisted forest inventory esti...
A moderate genetic diversity, the absence of a significant genetic differentiation between wild and cultivated stands and a highly admixed genetic structure of sweet chestnut with two main clus...
An increase in the stiffness of lumber with a decrease in initial tree spacing was confirmed for Pinus patula Schiede ex Schltdl. & Cham. The underlying prop...

This study showed that regeneration success (presence of oaks ≥ 150 cm in total height) in artificial canopy openings of a mature mixed sessile oak stand was mainly driven by initial oak seedli...
The change in forest productivity was simulated in six stands in Wallonia (Belgium) following different climate scenarios using a process-based and spatially explicit tree growth model. Simulat...
Fertilization is a feasible management technique for Pinus pinea L. cropping, with increased cone production up to 9 years after the application and superio...
Considering anisotropy in image reconstruction algorithm for ultrasound computed tomography of trees resulted in a more accurate detection of defects compared to common approaches used. ...
The use of reduced planting spacings is an important strategy to increase the carbon storage in the above-belowground biomass and should be recommended for future exploitation of forest energy ...
In our study of colonisation of abandoned farmland by Juniperus thurifera L., environmental and geographic distances were stronger drivers of functional diff...
Radial variation of wood properties affects product recovery from veneer logs. In Eucalyptus nitens , the radial variation in wood density, microfibril angle...
Pinus nigra J.F. Arnold has an ecological and economic interest in Europe, but many of the planted populations have an unknown origin and infraspecific taxonomy. Six Portugues...
Species interactions implicate a complex balance of facilitation and competition, which may shift during community development, thus structuring the subalpine ecotone of Mediterranean mountain ...
Mechanical properties of small-diameter round timber from hardwood thinnings of common alder ( Alnus glutinosa (L.) Gaertn.), European ash ( ...
The 19-year monitoring study revealed continuously positive and dynamic responses of tree growth to logging residue loadings. However, the lack of changes in soil nutrients suggested that incre...
Acacia longifolia and Acacia mearnsii exhibit different reproductive behavior (viability, germination, and dormancy) in relation to fire an...
During the first summer, wood biochar amendments increased soil temperature, pH, and soil CO 2 effluxes in a xeric bo...

We propose a methodology to develop a preliminary version of a growth model when tree-level growth data are unavailable. This modelling approach predicts individual tree growth using only one-t...
Nitrogen addition during 4 years to the canopy of Castanopsis chinensis (Sprengel) Hance promoted xylem formation, mainly by increasing radial growth during the early growth season. ...
Intra-annual wood density fluctuations are valuable indicators of the role of the local climate and provenance origins on tree growth. These intra-ring wood features were the most informative a...
The ongoing global warming tends to reduce Larix decidua radial growth and ring wood density at the bottom of an elevational gradient in the French Alps, whi...
Defoliation modality significantly affected leaf traits and carbon allocation especially in the early recovery period of two Leguminosae woody species . Robinia pseudoacacia ...
Decreasing stand density increases resistance, resilience, and recovery of Quercus petraea trees to severe drought (2003), particularly on dry sites, and the...
Chestnut timber is a resource that has so far been underestimated. The production of laminated chestnut beams represents important progress; it is necessary to check its market performances and...
In this exploratory study, we show how combining the strength of tree diversity experiment with the long-term perspective offered by forest gap models allows testing the mixture yielding behavi...
During the past decades, a multitude of oak stands have spontaneously established across the pine-dominated landscapes of the French Landes de Gascogne. Yet their future performance under moder...
The adoption of new silvicultural methods and approaches requires an understanding of the differences between those and “old” or “conventional” approaches, along with extensive training to brea...
Using the three characteristic points of a forest stand, dg (mean quadratic diameter), dmin (diameter of the smallest tree) and dmax (diameter of the largest tree), appears informative enough to determine the par...
The mixture of decomposing litter from three predominant tree species in a Masson pine ( Pinus massoniana Lamb.) forest showed advantages in elemental cyclin...
A histopathological study using one resistant and one susceptible clone of Eucalyptus urophylla × Eucalyptus grandis hybrid showed that the colonization of Ceratocystis fimbriata was limited by rapid and intense ...
An in-depth characterization of the forests of 10 dominant species by stand variables at national scale showed, that overall, stands growing in the southernmost regions of Spain display low reg...
Recent afforestation in Europe might involve deep changes on landscape composition and configuration. We show that afforestation promotes defragmentation of pre-existing forests and new patch p...
Rut depth in fine-grained boreal soils induced by an 8-wheeled forwarder is best predicted with soil moisture content, cumulative mass of machine passes, bulk density and thickness of the humus...
By combining inventory data and spatially-continuous environmental information, we were able to develop models for Atlantic populations of maritime pine ( Pinus pinaster ...
This work analyses the rate of recovery of the spectral signal from clearcut areas of coppice Mediterranean forests using Landsat Time Series (LTS). The analysis revealed a more rapid rate of s...
Windstorms have recently caused noteworthy destruction across the Northern forests of Turkey. The intensive forest management practices applied for more than 60+ years may unknowingly have resu...
Xylem vulnerability to drought-induced embolism did not differ between stems and petioles of four woody species ( Betula pendula , Lirioden...
In a mixed, Fagus sylvatica L.- Acer pseudoplatanus L., young plantation, trees of both species absorbed water from super...
Wildfire danger and burnt areas should increase over the century in southern Europe, owing to climate warming. Fire-prone area expansion to the north and to Mediterranean mountains is a concern, while climate-...
Non-structural carbohydrates (NSC) are the main form of carbon storage in broadleaved trees; precise NSC quantification is relevant to predict forest resilience. Sample microwaving before dryin...
Under similar site conditions, leaf litter decomposition beneath Central African rainforests was largely driven by average leaf litter quality. Although significant, the additional variability ...
Insect herbivory in novel Quercus ilex L. forests is a highly context- and scale-dependent process. We show that forest composition, tree height and fine-sca...
Forest owners who maximize profitability with a low discount rate or whose management goals are related to conservation and recreation, rarely sell timber. These owners make it difficult to ach...
The soil plant analysis development (SPAD) meter proved effective at estimating leaf Chl content of native and non-native temperate deciduous shrubs. However, due to the change in the relations...
Creation of second generation Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) hybrids based on parents from geographically distant locations did not appreciably increase variance in height, ...
