Context Forests in the northeastern United States are currently in early-and mid-
successional stages recovering from historical land use. Climate change will affect forest …

Sustainable forest management is driving the development of forest decision support
systems (DSSs) to include models and methods concerned with climate change, biodiversity …

Collecting long-term satellite image series in high latitudes has been challenging due to its
short growing season. For off-peak imagery, its reflective properties need to be corrected to …

Demographic processes (fecundity, dispersal, colonization, growth, and mortality) and their
interactions with environmental changes are not well represented in current climate …

Most temperate forests in US are recovering from heavy exploitation and are in intermediate
successional stages where partial tree harvest is the primary disturbance. Changes in …

Context Subtropical forests have and will continue to face tremendous pressure from various
disturbances, which have the potential to alter forest composition, structure, and function …

Abstract Evaluation of forest landscape model (FLM) predictions is indispensable to
establish the credibility of predictions. We present a framework that evaluates short-and long …

Climate change is more pronounced in boreal forests than in other terrestrial ecosystems,
and thus aboveground biomass and species composition of boreal forests have already …

Understanding the patterns and effects of disturbances is important to predict post-
disturbance vegetation recovery trajectories and inform adaptive recovery strategies. The …

Timber production is the purpose for managing plantation forests, and its spatial and
quantitative information is critical for advising management strategies. Previous studies have …
