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: 10.1111/1365-2745.12846
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.
