DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2019.117649
Abstract: Abstract The lack of long term independent historical data constitute a major impediment to the further improvement and validation of forest simulation models. In this study, we evaluate the degree to which the gap model… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1365-2435.70196
Abstract: The phenology of tree root growth is poorly understood especially for mixed forests. To attempt to fill this knowledge gap, we selected four co‐occurring broadleaf trees species of the European forests (Quercus robur, Carpinus betulus,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1365-2745.12846
Abstract: Summary 1.Mixed species forests can often be more productive and deliver higher levels of ecosystem services and functions than monocultures. However, complementarity effects for any given tree species are difficult to generalize because they can… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1440-1703.12562
Abstract: Conifers generally exhibit narrow, deep crowns, whereas broadleaf trees typically form spherical crowns. A widely accepted hypothesis attributes this difference to variations in solar angles: conifers, which prevail in high‐latitude regions with lower solar angles,… read more here.
