Forest site productivity is the production that can be realized at a certain site with a given
genotype and a specified management regime. Site productivity depends both on natural …

Predicted intense and prolonged drought events challenge forest management. Thinning is
debated as a silvicultural measure for reducing drought risk in densely established forest …

The present paper deals with C and N storage in soil and vegetation, litter fall and CO2
efflux from the soil 32–33 years after early thinning in a Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) …

The effects of silvicultural treatments on carbon sequestration are poorly understood,
particularly in areas like the Mediterranean where soil fertility is low and climatic conditions …

Litter plays a vital role in the nutrient cycling of plantations and agroforests. Silvicultural
interventions can alter litter production and decay rates, thereby varying nutrient fluxes. We …

An important aspect of sustainable forest management is to assess the impact of forest
operations on ecosystem services. This work analyzed the long-term effect of two standard …

This study evaluates the effect of two different thinning treatments (2 and 3), and a control
without thinning (1), on stand stability of secondary even-aged Norway spruce stands, in …

This study was conducted to quantify the carbon storage in each pool (including trees, forest
floor, and soil) and to analyze the carbon cycle in a Chamaecyparis obtusa (Siebold and …

Mixed-species forests have potentially more benefits than monocultures particularly in terms
of greater carbon sequestration. A 16-year-old Chinese fir (Cunninghamia lanceolata) …

Our study contributes to the understanding of the diversity of ectomycorrhizal fungal (ECMF)
communities of native A. alba and alien A. grandis in provenance trials situated in lowland …
