Terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) was introduced for basic forest measurements, such as tree
height and diameter, in the early 2000s. Recent advances in sensor and algorithm …

Forest thinning can significantly affect hydrological processes. However, these effects
largely vary with forest types, climate, thinning intensity, and hydrological variables of …

Drought will increasingly threaten forest ecosystems worldwide. Understanding how
competition influences tree growth response to drought is essential for forest management …

Demands for water services from forested watersheds have dramatically increased since the
1950s and the trend continues as global environmental change intensifies in the 21st …

With climate change, the frequency and duration of droughts are increasing, strongly
impacting forest ecosystems. Therefore, a thorough understanding of the factors influencing …

In this review, the unique features and facts of long-term experiments are presented. Long-
term experimental plots provide information of forest stand dynamics which cannot be …

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

Background Climate change triggered many studies showing that trends and events of
environmental conditions can reduce but also accelerate growth at the stand and individual …

Even-aged stands can regenerate with many thousand seedlings per hectare before the
density declines to just a few hundred trees per hectare 100 years later; management …

Diversity of tree species and structure have the potential to increase various forest
ecosystem services such as stress resistance, biodiversity, and productivity. Recent studies …
