Past failures of monocultures, caused by wind-throw or insect damages, and ongoing
climate change currently strongly stimulate research into mixed-species stands. So far, the …

Mixed-species stands have been found to be more productive than would be expected from
the performance of their component species in monocultures due to facilitation and …

Mixing of complementary tree species may increase stand productivity, mitigate the effects of
drought and other risks, and pave the way to forest production systems which may be more …

Mixed-species stands have been studied extensively due to their potentially superior
productivity, multi-functionality benefits and high ecological value compared to pure stands …

The mixing of tree species with complementary ecological traits may modify forest
functioning regarding productivity, stability, or resilience against disturbances. This may be …

Mixed species stands are on the advance in Central Europe and many recently published
studies have reported that they can overyield monocultures in terms of volume growth …

Aim of study: The objective of this study was to analyse the effect of species mixing of Scots
pine and Norway spruce on the productivity at the stand and species level. We also …

An increasing number of studies provide evidence that mixed-species stands can overyield
monocultures. But it is still hardly understood, how the overyielding at the stand level …

That tree species mixing may strongly affect tree structure and tree growth is so far hardly
considered in tree and stand models. Hence, for a better understanding and design of mixed …

Abstract Background and Aims Many recent studies emphasize that mixed species is a
promising silvicultural option for sustainable ecosystem management under uncertain and …
