Abstract: Abstract Because red deer (Cervus elaphus) forage extensively on woody plants, browsing is a serious problem in forest stands especially in initial growth stages. In Slovakia, rowans (Sorbus aucuparia) are the most attractive tree species… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract Coppice forestry is a conventional silvicultural practice that takes advantage of a tree’s capacity to respond to disturbances by sprouting. Sprouting capacity is determined by many intrinsic and extrinsic factors such as parent tree… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract For temperate forests, Michigan, USA, we asked: (1) does evidence exist for a height-dependent sapling recruitment bottleneck caused by shrub layer competition and white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) browsing and, if so, (2) how do… read more here.
