Abstract: In this study, the stomatal ozone (O3) fluxes were investigated at five low-elevation forest sites in Western Germany (Rhineland Palatinate) over the time period 1998-2019. The Phytotoxic Ozone Dose with an hourly threshold of uptake… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/gcb.16531
Abstract: Over the last decades, the natural disturbance is increasingly putting pressure on European forests. Shifts in disturbance regimes may compromise forest functioning and the continuous provisioning of ecosystem services to society, including their climate change… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jbi.13624
Abstract: Aim: The former continental–scale studies modelled coarse–grained plant species–richness patterns (gamma diversity). Here we aim to refine this information for European forests by (a) modelling the number of vascular plant species that co–occur in local… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2023.1067906
Abstract: Introduction Trees interact with fungi in mutualistic, saprotrophic, and pathogenic relationships. With their extensive aboveground and belowground structures, trees provide diverse habitats for fungi. Thus, tree species identity is an important driver of fungal community… read more here.

DOI: 10.5194/bg-2021-125
Abstract: Abstract. Tropospheric O3 damages leaves and directly inhibits photosynthesis, posing a threat to terrestrial carbon sinks. Previous investigations have mostly relied on sparse in-situ data or simulations using land surface models. This work is the… read more here.

DOI: 10.5194/essd-12-257-2020
Abstract: Abstract. Strong winds may uproot and break trees and represent a major natural disturbance for European forests. Wind disturbances have intensified over the last decades globally and are expected to further rise in view of… read more here.
