DOI: 10.1016/j.dendro.2018.09.006
Abstract: Abstract Dendrochronological studies of large and old Sequoia sempervirens are limited by access and complex crossdating, but core sampling at regular height intervals along the main trunks of five standing trees allowed for reconstruction of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ecolecon.2021.107170
Abstract: Abstract A key issue in understanding tropical forest disturbance is what drives farmers practicing customary shifting cultivation to clear crop fields in old-growth forest over secondary forest fallows. These farmers typically hold a stock of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1088/1748-9326/aa708b
Abstract: Many countries have made major commitments to carbon sequestration through reforestation under the Paris Climate Agreement, and recent studies have illustrated the potential for large amounts of carbon sequestration in tropical second-growth forests. However, carbon… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/ddi.12688
Abstract: Aim Habitat loss and climate change constitute two of the greatest threats to biodiversity worldwide, and theory predicts that these factors may act synergistically to affect population trajectories. Recent evidence indicates that structurally complex old-growth… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2022.908257
Abstract: Replacement of primary old-growth forests by secondary woodlands in threatened subtropical biomes drives important changes at the level of the overstory, understory and forest floor, but the impact on belowground microbial biodiversity is yet poorly… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/f11020151
Abstract: Human activity has greatly reduced the area of old-growth forest in Europe, with some of the largest remaining fragments in the Carpathian Mountains of south-western Ukraine. We used satellite image analysis to calculate old-growth forest… read more here.
