Increasing environmental concerns with forestry have led to mounting interest in mixedwood
management as a possible strategy to achieve a diversity of ecological and productivity …

Plant root systems are highly dynamic over various temporal and spatial scales, and are
responsive to changes in environmental conditions. The objective of this review is to …

Significant increases in aboveground biomass production have been observed when
Eucalyptus is planted with a nitrogen-fixing species due to increased nutrient availability and …

Biodiversity effects on ecosystem functioning in forests have only recently attracted
increasing attention. The vast majority of studies in forests have focused on above-ground …

Belowground competitive and complementary interactions define productivity and
sustainability of mixed-species plantations to a large extent, but have received relatively little …

The Clay Belt region of Quebec and Ontario supports a large forest resource and an
important forest industry. In this region, the majority of the harvested volume allotted to forest …

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 …

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 …

Litter quality is often considered the main driver of decomposition rate. The objective of this
study was to investigate the relative contribution of two other tree-driven mechanisms, litter …

Stand structure diversity is hypothesized (i) to increase with stand development and (ii) to be
greater in mixedwood stands than in conifer and broadleaf stands. We examined the effects …
