DOI: 10.1002/ecy.3681
Abstract: The study of community spatial structure is central to understanding diversity patterns over space and species co-occurrence at local scales. While most analytical approaches consider horizontal and vertical dimensions separately, in this study we introduce… read more here.

Decreased soil organic P fraction associated with ectomycorrhizal fungal activity to meet increased P demand under N application in a subtropical forest ecosystem
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Biology and Fertility of Soils"
DOI: 10.1007/s00374-017-1251-8
Abstract: Phosphorus (P) is an essential but limited nutrient in highly weathered subtropical or tropical forest soils; however, increased P demands owing to elevated nitrogen (N) deposition might further exacerbate the P limitation in these regions.… read more here.

Factors Hindering Forest Management Among Engaged and Detached Private Forest Owners: Slovenian Stakeholders’ Perceptions
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Small-scale Forestry"
DOI: 10.1007/s11842-018-9409-2
Abstract: Small-scale properties are the prevailing ownership category in Slovenian private forests. Owners are becoming increasingly diverse with predominant multifunctional management orientation which has led to underutilisation of wood potentials over the past decades. We surveyed… read more here.

Evaluating the influence of integrative forest management on old-growth habitat structures in a temperate forest region
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Biological Conservation"
DOI: 10.1016/j.biocon.2017.10.008
Abstract: Abstract Integrative forest management attempts to simultaneously fulfill both wood production and biodiversity conservation in a given forest region, and presumably supplants the need for unmanaged forest reserves. This is the dominant management paradigm in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2018.12.026
Abstract: Abstract Wind is an important driver of forest dynamics in eastern Canada, but knowledge of variables that predispose forest stands to windthrow remains unclear. This is of particular concern as climate change is expected to… read more here.

Effects of experimental fires on the phylogenetic and functional diversity of woody species in a neotropical forest
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Forest Ecology and Management"
DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2019.117497
Abstract: Abstract Although tropical forest fires are naturally rare, they have become more frequent and intense in response to recent changes in land use and climate. This shift in fire regime may drive widespread forest degradation… read more here.

Vulnerability of small forest patches to fire in the Paraiba do Sul River Valley, southeast Brazil: Implications for restoration of the Atlantic Forest biome
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Forest Ecology and Management"
DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2020.118095
Abstract: Abstract The Atlantic Forest biome, a biodiversity hotspot historically threatened by deforestation and human disturbance, has recently seen a net gain in native forest cover due to changes in land use, enactment of new laws,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.forpol.2016.11.004
Abstract: The International Forest Regime Complex consists of a number of institutional elements aiming to regulate forests. Among them the main line of conflict runs between production-oriented and conservation-oriented elements. Voluntary National Forest Programmes as well… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.forpol.2018.08.008
Abstract: Abstract This study analyses the linkages between private forest owners' perceptions of forest management, and their affinity for subsidies, in a range of European countries. Society increasingly requires the provision of ecosystem services from forests,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.forpol.2020.102284
Abstract: Abstract Tactical harvest scheduling is related to forest unit selection and spatial sequencing. Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) is traditionally implemented in this type of planning, associating each forest unit with one or more binary… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.landusepol.2016.09.021
Abstract: Abstract If forest policies aim to orientate forest owners’ behaviours, some gaps still remain between policy makers’ objectives and forest owners’ final decision. In order to understand where these discrepancies come from, we propose a… read more here.
