Invasive alien insects cause serious ecological and economical losses around the world.
Here, we review the bionomics, modern ranges (and their dynamics), distribution pathways …

Key message This literature review identified the main factors for the success of different
silvicultural approaches to regenerate sessile oak naturally and unveiled at the same time …

Forests harbour large spatiotemporal heterogeneity in canopy structure. This variation drives
the microclimate and light availability at the forest floor. So far, we do not know how light …

Latitudinal and elevational gradients provide valuable experimental settings for studies of
the potential impact of global warming on forest tree species. The availability of long‐term …

Tree species mixing has been widely promoted as a promising silvicultural tool for reducing
drought stress. However, so far only a limited number of species combinations have been …

Past failures of monocultures, caused by wind-throw or insect damages, and ongoing
climate change currently strongly stimulate research into mixed-species stands. So far, the …

Quercus robur/Quercus petraea and Pinus sylvestris are widely distributed and
economically important tree species in Europe co-occurring on mesotrophic, xeric and mesic …

The genus Quercus comprises important species in forestry not only for their productive
value but also for their ability to withstand drought. Hence an evaluation of inter-and …

Purpose Droughts are expected to become more intense and frequent. Mixed forests can be
more resilient to extreme events, but are the individual trees in mixed forests also more …

Trees are one of the most important elements of green infrastructure in cities. Climate
change is specifically affecting trees in many European cities. Trees are experiencing …
