This study estimates the present and future distribution potential of 12 thermophilic and rare
tree species for Europe based on climate-soil sensitive species distribution models (SDMs) …

Increasing atmospheric nitrogen deposition and climate change are considered the main
factors accelerating the long-term growth of forests. Quantification of changes in growth rate …

Site productivity remains a fundamental concern in forestry as a significant driver of resource
availability for tree growth. The site index (SI) reflects the overall impact of all environmental …

Analyzing how climate change has affected forest growth is crucial for predicting future
dynamics and adapting forest management to future climate change. In this paper, we …

Forest ecosystems are among the most important carbon sinks in the terrestrial biomes.
Therefore, the estimation of aboveground biomass accumulation is of fundamental …

Site index is the most commonly used measure of potential site productivity, providing key
information for forest management practices. It is determined using species-specific site …

Abstract Sessile oak (Quercus petraea (Matt.) Liebl.) and pedunculate oak (Quercus robur
L.) play an important role in increasing the resistance of central European forests to severe …

Climate analogues provide forestry practice with empirical evidence of how forests are
managed in “twin” regions, ie, regions where the current climate is comparable to the …

Abstract While Leaf Area Index (LAI) is critical for understanding forest canopy,
photosynthesis and forest growth, traditional field-based LAI measurements are laborious …

BIOMASS is ESA's seventh Earth Explorer mission, scheduled for launch in 2022. The
satellite will be the first P-band SAR sensor in space and will be operated in fully …
