DOI: 10.1002/ece3.7080
Abstract: Abstract In boreal landscapes, emphasis is currently placed on close‐to‐nature management strategies, which aim to maintain the biodiversity and ecosystem services related to old‐growth forests. The success of these strategies, however, depends on an accurate… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2017.06.059
Abstract: Abstract The commercial exploitation of non-timber forest products (NTFPs) has been widely promoted to achieve both conservation and economic outcomes in the management of tropical forests by local communities, but monitoring the impacts of NTFPs… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2018.04.007
Abstract: Abstract Old-growth stands are considered as key components of boreal forest diversity and their preservation is largely integrated into management plans. However, while the differences between old-growth and young forests have largely been studied, little… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2018.05.035
Abstract: Abstract Old-growth forests differ from managed forests by a generally higher biodiversity, larger carbon stores, and greater heterogeneity of aboveground structures. It is not known whether the aboveground structural diversity of old-growth forests is mirrored… 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: 10.1111/jbi.13781
Abstract: Global studies show strong climatic control of leaf area index (LAI) and related ecosystem properties. However, alternative states stabilized by positive feedbacks have the potential to produce appreciable differences in LAI in a given environment.… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/f11030252
Abstract: Research Highlights: Radial growth patterns of trees growing in old-growth boreal forests in eastern Canada can be grouped into a small number of simple patterns that are specific to different old-growth forest types or successional… read more here.

DOI: 10.7717/peerj.14446
Abstract: Background Suitable climate and availability of habitats for roosting, foraging, and dispersing are critical for the long-term persistence of bat species. The giant noctule (Nyctalus lasiopterus) represents one of the lesser-known European bats, especially regarding… read more here.
