Forest disturbances under climate change
Forest disturbances are sensitive to climate. However, our understanding of disturbance
dynamics in response to climatic changes remains incomplete, particularly regarding large …

[HTML][HTML] Relationship of insect biomass and richness with land use along a climate gradient
Recently reported insect declines have raised both political and social concern. Although
the declines have been attributed to land use and climate change, supporting evidence …

[HTML][HTML] Canopy mortality has doubled in Europe's temperate forests over the last three decades
Mortality is a key indicator of forest health, and increasing mortality can serve as bellwether
for the impacts of global change on forest ecosystems. Here we analyze trends in forest …

Searching for resilience: addressing the impacts of changing disturbance regimes on forest ecosystem services
The provisioning of ecosystem services to society is increasingly under pressure from global
change. Changing disturbance regimes are of particular concern in this context due to their …

[HTML][HTML] Patterns and drivers of recent disturbances across the temperate forest biome
Increasing evidence indicates that forest disturbances are changing in response to global
change, yet local variability in disturbance remains high. We quantified this considerable …

Remote sensing of forest insect disturbances: Current state and future directions
Insect disturbance are important agents of change in forest ecosystems around the globe,
yet their spatial and temporal distribution and dynamics are not well understood. Remote …

Effect of forest stand management on species composition, structural diversity, and productivity in the temperate zone of Europe
Abstract Forests in Central Europe have been used since centuries and were systematically
changed by silvicultural practices since the late 1700s. Focusing on possible biodiversity …

Small beetle, large‐scale drivers: How regional and landscape factors affect outbreaks of the European spruce bark beetle
Unprecedented bark beetle outbreaks have been observed for a variety of forest ecosystems
recently, and damage is expected to further intensify as a consequence of climate change. In …

Tamm review: Does salvage logging mitigate subsequent forest disturbances?
After natural forest disturbances such as wildfires, windstorms and insect outbreaks, salvage
logging is commonly applied to reduce economic losses and mitigate subsequent …
