DOI: 10.1007/s13595-019-0873-4
Abstract: Allometric biomass equations developed for individual shrubs can be applied to estimate shrubland fuels from measurements of cover and average height by species. Shrubs are a major component of surface fuels in many fire-prone ecosystems.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1365-2745.12892
Abstract: 1.Forest ecosystems contain several climate-sensitive drivers that respond differentially to changes in climate and climate variability. For example, growth and regeneration processes are “stand-scale” drivers, while natural disturbances operate at “landscape-scale”. The relative contributions of… read more here.

Quantifying climate–growth relationships at the stand level in a mature mixed‐species conifer forest

DOI: 10.1111/gcb.14120
Abstract: A range of environmental factors regulate tree growth; however, climate is generally thought to most strongly influence year-to-year variability in growth. Numerous dendrochronological (tree-ring) studies have identified climate factors that influence year-to-year variability in growth… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/icad.12358
Abstract: In forests, besides tree diversity, tree identity can determine herbivore species diversity. Herbivore species diversity can also depend on spatial factors, such as edge effects; however, empirical evidence for this remains scarce. Furthermore, patterns in… read more here.

Drought Resistance of Norway Spruce (Picea abies [L.] Karst) and European Beech (Fagus sylvatica [L.]) in Mixed vs. Monospecific Stands and on Dry vs. Wet Sites. From Evidence at the Tree Level to Relevance at the Stand Level

DOI: 10.3390/f11060639
Abstract: Frequency of drought years is expected to increase through climate warming. Mixed stands have often shown to be more productive than monospecific stands in terms of yield and of resistance against windthrows and bark beetle… read more here.

Effects of Climate on Stand-Level Biomass for Larch Plantations in Heilongjiang Province, Northeast China
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2023 at "Forests"
DOI: 10.3390/f14040820
Abstract: Climate change affects forest resource availability, growing season length, and thus forest biomass accumulation. However, only a limited number of studies have been conducted on forest biomass management based on climate effects, particularly at the… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/f14050860
Abstract: Spring forest ephemerals often create homogeneous patches in the understory; however, our knowledge about their stand level characteristics is deficient. Our aims were to examine, parallel to their phenology, the stand level Net Ecosystem CO2… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/f14061084
Abstract: European hornbeam (Carpinus betulus L.) is a tree species widely distributed in Europe and the Asian part of the Near East. However, since European hornbeam is not very attractive for commercial purposes, scientific interest in… read more here.
