Mapping the forest disturbance regimes of Europe
Abstract Changes in forest disturbances can have strong impacts on forests, yet we lack
consistent data on Europe's forest disturbance regimes and their changes over time. Here …

Potential of forest thinning to mitigate drought stress: A meta-analysis
Increasing frequency of extremely dry and hot summers in some regions emphasise the
need for silvicultural approaches to increase the drought tolerance of existing forests in the …

Canopy mortality has doubled in Europe's temperate forests over the last three decades
Mortality is a key indicator of forest health, and increasing mortality can serve as bellwether
for the impacts of global change on forest ecosystems. Here we analyze trends in forest …

Linking forest growth with stand structure: Tree size inequality, tree growth or resource partitioning and the asymmetry of competition
DI Forrester - Forest Ecology and Management, 2019 - Elsevier
Stand structure can strongly influence forest growth and other processes, such as the water
balance, carbon partitioning, nutrient cycling and light dynamics. However, individual …
