Ecological research conducted over the past five decades has shown that increasing tree
species richness at forest stands can improve tree resistance to insect pest damage …

Addressing global biodiversity loss requires an expanded focus on multiple dimensions of
biodiversity. While most studies have focused on the consequences of plant interspecific …

The health of the world's oceans is intrinsically linked to the biodiversity of the ecosystems
they sustain. The importance of protecting and maintaining ocean biodiversity has been …

Consumer‐resource interactions are often influenced by other species in the community,
such as when neighbouring plants increase or reduce herbivory to a focal plant species …

As one of the most abundant tree species in the hemiboreal zone, birch is important from
both commercial and biodiversity perspectives. While old-growth deciduous stands are …

Sexual dimorphism is common in dioecious plants, but the effects of sex-specific interactions
on the growth and herbivore resistance of females and males are still unknown. To assess …

Biodiversity–ecosystem functioning experiments found that productivity generally increases
with species richness, but less is known about effects of within‐species genetic richness and …

Volumetric equations is one of the main tools for quantifying forest stand production, and is
the basis for sustainable management of forest plantations. This study aimed to assess the …

With the process of urbanization, cities are expanding, while forests are declining. Many
conditions in the urban habitats are modified compared to those in the rural ones, so the …

The study aimed to evaluate the parameters of reproductive traits, specimens' fertility and
