Effects of stand structural attributes on oak recruitment in mixed temperate forests Open
Oak-dominated forests worldwide support high levels of biodiversity and provide many important ecosystem services. However, oak forest sustainability is challenged by unsuccessful recruitment of oaks into the overstory. It is debated wheth…

Influence of species interactions and climate on tree mortality in mixed stands of Pinus sylvestris, Betula spp., and Picea abies Open
Tree mortality is a complex process associated with endogenous factors such as tree size, species composition or stand density, which may interact with each other and/or with exogenous factors such as climate. We studied the influence of t…

Mother trees, altruistic fungi, and the perils of plant personification Open
There are growing doubts about the true role of the common mycorrhizal networks (CMN or wood wide web) connecting the roots of trees in forests. We question the claims of a substantial carbon transfer from 'mother trees' to their offspring…

Predator odor can reduce acorn removal by granivorous rodents in mixed oak forest stands Open
Developing better practices for rodent pest control is of high importance to reduce damage during forest restoration and in crop production. For example, during direct seeding with large and highly attractive seeds such as acorns, most see…

Mortality reduces overyielding in mixed Scots pine and European beech stands along a precipitation gradient in Europe Open
Many studies show that mixed species stands can have higher gross growth, or so-called overyielding, compared with monocultures. However, much less is known about mortality in mixed stands. Knowledge is lacking, for example, of how much of…

Restoring mixed forests through conversion of Norway spruce stands: effects of fencing and mechanical site preparation on performance of planted beech and natural tree regeneration Open
Conversion of Norway spruce ( Picea abies ) plantations to more diverse and resilient forest types is an important task for European forest managers in the face of climate change and increased focus on ecosystem services beyond timber prod…

Silviculture of Mixed-Species and Structurally Complex Boreal Stands Open
Understanding structurally complex boreal stands is crucial for designing ecosystem management strategies that promote forest resilience under global change. However, current management practices lead to the homogenization and simplificati…

With increasing site quality asymmetric competition and mortality reduces Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) stand structuring across Europe Open
Heterogeneity of structure can increase mechanical stability, stress resistance and resilience, biodiversity and many other functions and services of forest stands. That is why many silvicultural measures aim at enhancing structural divers…

Restoring oak forests through direct seeding or planting: Protocol for a continental-scale experiment Open
The choice of revegetating via direct seeding or planting nursery-grown seedlings influences the potential stresses suffered by seedlings such as herbivory and drought. The outcome of the balance between both revegetation methods may ultim…

The influence of fencing on seedling establishment during reforestation of oak stands: a comparison of artificial and natural regeneration techniques including costs Open
In temperate Europe, oak-dominated forests are widespread, supporting high biodiversity and providing important ecosystem services. Insufficient natural regeneration has, however, been a concern for over a century. The objective of this st…
