[HTML][HTML] What is the potential for replacing monocultures with mixed-species stands to enhance ecosystem services in boreal forests in Fennoscandia?
The boreal forests of Fennoscandia are largely dominated by Norway spruce and Scots
pine. Conifer monocultures have been favoured in forest management during the last …

Influences of evergreen gymnosperm and deciduous angiosperm tree species on the functioning of temperate and boreal forests
It has been recognized for a long time that the overstorey composition of a forest partly
determines its biological and physical–chemical functioning. Here, we review evidence of …

Competition and facilitation between tree species change with stand development
Processes governing tree interspecific interactions, such as facilitation and competition, may
vary in strength over time. This study tried to unveil them by performing dendrometrical …

The effect of boreal forest composition on soil respiration is mediated through variations in soil temperature and C quality
Getting a better understanding of CO2 efflux from forest soils is critical for increasing our
comprehension of the global C cycle. We examined the influence of two common boreal tree …
