DOI: 10.1007/s11056-018-9642-8
Abstract: Narrow-leaved ash (NLA) has a wide natural distribution with ecologically different areas; however, in Sakarya, Turkey, the bottomland forests are now mostly dominated by pure NLA plantations. In this study, two thinning experiments were carried… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2018.12.045
Abstract: Abstract Disentangling the importance of developmental vs. environmental drivers of variation in forest biomass is key to predicting the future of forest carbon sequestration. At coarse scales, forest biomass is likely to vary along major… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2020.118462
Abstract: Abstract The maximum stand basal area (BA) and maximum stand density index (SDI) are often used to express stand carrying capacity in forestry. But their definitions are inconsistent in the literature. The maximum stand BA… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2020.118595
Abstract: Abstract California’s high density, fire-excluded forests experienced an extreme drought accompanied by warmer than normal temperatures from 2012 to 2015, resulting in the deaths of millions of trees. We examined tree mortality and growth of mixed-conifer stands… read more here.

DOI: 10.1088/1748-9326/aa7242
Abstract: In sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), tropical dry forests and savannas cover over 2.5 million km2 and support livelihoods for millions in fast-growing nations. Intensifying land use pressures have driven rapid changes in tree cover structure (basal… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/forestry/cpy034
Abstract: The cork oak (Quercus suber L.) is periodically harvested for bark (cork) throughout its lifetime. Trees undergo physiological changes as they age which affect stem diameter growth and their sensitivity to climate. However, little is… read more here.
