Positive association between forest management, environmental change, and forest bird abundance

Schulze, Ernst Detlef; Craven, Dylan; Durso, Andrew M.; Reif, Jiri; Guderle, Marcus; Kroiher, Franz; Hennig, Petra; Weiserbs, Anne; Schall, Peter; Ammer, Christian; Eisenhauer, Nico

2019 "Forest Ecosystems"

doi:10.1186/s40663-019-0160-8

Abstract Background The global decrease in wildlife populations, especially birds, is mainly due to land use change and increasing intensity of land use (Parmesan and Yohe 2003). However, impacts of management tools to mitigate biodiversity loss at regional and global scales are less apparent in...

Designing near-natural planting patterns for plantation forests in China

Zhang, Gongqiao; Hui, Gangying; Hu, Yanbo; Zhao, Zhonghua; Guan, Xiuling; von Gadow, Klaus; Zhang, Ganggang

2019 "Forest Ecosystems"

doi:10.1186/s40663-019-0187-x

Abstract Background China has a long tradition of managing planted forests. Different species of Populus, Eucalyptus, Larix, Cunninghamia and Pinus are planted to satisfy the local demand for wood products and provide ecological services at the same time. Evidence of the greater resilience of...

Yield models for predicting aboveground ectomycorrhizal fungal productivity in Pinus sylvestris and Pinus pinaster stands of northern Spain

Sánchez-González, Mariola; de-Miguel, Sergio; Martin-Pinto, Pablo; Martínez-Peña, Fernando; Pasalodos-Tato, María; Oria-de-Rueda, Juan; Martínez de Aragón, Juan; Cañellas, Isabel; Bonet, José

2019 Forest Ecosystems

doi:10.1186/s40663-019-0211-1

Abstract Background Predictive models shed light on aboveground fungal yield dynamics and can assist decision-making in forestry by integrating this valuable non-wood forest product into forest management planning. However, the...

Responses of water use in Moso bamboo ( Phyllostachys heterocycla ) culms of different developmental stages to manipulative drought

Wu, Xi-Pin; Liu, Shirong; Luan, Junwei; Wang, Yi; Cai, Chunju

2019 "Forest Ecosystems"

doi:10.1186/s40663-019-0189-8

Abstract Background Understanding the mechanisms underlying plant water use in response to drought is critical to predicting the trend of ecosystem development under a changing environment, while the responses of water use in clonal plants with interconnected ramets to drought are far less clear...

Journal Article

Differential responses of net N mineralization and nitrification to throughfall reduction in a Castanopsis hystrix plantation in southern China

Chen, Lin; Wen, Yuanguang; Zeng, Ji; Wang, Hui; Wang, Jingxin; Dell, Bernard; Liu, Shirong

2019 "Forest Ecosystems"

doi:10.1186/s40663-019-0174-2

Abstract Background Many regions in the world are experiencing changes in precipitation pattern, which likely impact soil nitrogen cycling and availability. However, we know little about how soil nitrogen processes respond to drought stress under climate change. Methods A continuous 5-year...

Effects of forest management on biomass stocks in Romanian beech forests

Bouriaud, O.; Don, A.; Janssens, I. A.; Marin, G.; Schulze, E.-D.

2019 "Forest Ecosystems"

doi:10.1186/s40663-019-0180-4

Abstract Background Forest management aims at obtaining a sustainable production of wood to be harvested to generate products or energy. However, the quantitative influence of forest management and of removals by harvest on biomass stocks has rarely been analysed on a large scale based on...

Journal Article

Predicting Ailanthus altissima presence across a managed forest landscape in southeast Ohio

Iverson, Louis R.; Rebbeck, Joanne; Peters, Matthew P.; Hutchinson, Todd; Fox, Timothy

2019 "Forest Ecosystems"

doi:10.1186/s40663-019-0198-7

Abstract Background The negative impacts of the exotic tree, Ailanthus altissima (tree-of-heaven, stink tree), is spreading throughout much of the Eastern United States. When forests are disturbed, it can invade and expand quickly if seed sources are nearby. Methods We conducted studies at the...

Biomass and dominance of conservative species drive above-ground biomass productivity in a mediterranean-type forest of Chile

Ayma-Romay, Ariel; Bown, Horacio

2019 Forest Ecosystems

doi:10.1186/s40663-019-0205-z

Abstract Background Forest productivity has a pivotal role in human well-being. Vegetation quantity, niche complementarity, mass-ratio, and soil resources are...

Spatial distribution of the potential forest biomass availability in Europe

Verkerk, Pieter Johannes; Fitzgerald, Joanne Brighid; Datta, Pawan; Dees, Matthias; Hengeveld, Geerten Martijn; Lindner, Marcus; Zudin, Sergey

2019 "Forest Ecosystems"

doi:10.1186/s40663-019-0163-5

Abstract Background European forests are considered a crucial resource for supplying biomass to a growing bio-economy in Europe. This study aimed to assess the potential availability of forest biomass from European forests and its spatial distribution. We tried to answer the questions (i) how is...

Climate forcing of tree growth in dry Afromontane forest fragments of Northern Ethiopia: evidence from multi-species responses

Siyum, Zenebe Girmay; Ayoade, J. O.; Onilude, M. A.; Feyissa, Motuma Tolera

2019 "Forest Ecosystems"

doi:10.1186/s40663-019-0178-y

Abstract Background Climate-induced challenge remains a growing concern in the dry tropics, threatening carbon sink potential of tropical dry forests. Hence, understanding their responses to the changing climate is of high priority to facilitate sustainable management of the remnant dry forests....
