Earth's forests face grave challenges in the Anthropocene, including hotter droughts
increasingly associated with widespread forest die-off events. But despite the vital …

Forests influence climate and mitigate global change through the storage of carbon in soils.
In turn, these complex ecosystems face important challenges, including increases in carbon …

Forest ecosystems depend on their capacity to withstand and recover from natural and
anthropogenic perturbations (that is, their resilience) 1. Experimental evidence of sudden …

Over the last decades, the natural disturbance is increasingly putting pressure on European
forests. Shifts in disturbance regimes may compromise forest functioning and the continuous …

The amount of carbon stored in deadwood is equivalent to about 8 per cent of the global
forest carbon stocks. The decomposition of deadwood is largely governed by climate,,–with …

BACKGROUND Forest dynamics arise from the interplay of chronic drivers and transient
disturbances with the demographic processes of recruitment, growth, and mortality. The …

Pulses of tree mortality caused by drought have been reported recently in forests around the
globe, but large-scale quantitative evidence is lacking for Europe. Analyzing high-resolution …

In recent years, technological advances have led to the increasing use of unmanned aerial
vehicles (UAVs) for forestry applications. One emerging field for drone application is forest …

Earth's forests harbor extensive biodiversity and are currently a major carbon sink. Forest
conservation and restoration can help mitigate climate change; however, climate change …

Almost half of the total organic carbon (C) in terrestrial ecosystems is stored in forest soils.
By altering rates of input or release of C from soils, forest management activities can …
