Adaptive forest management improves stand-level resilience of temperate forests under multiple stressors
Forests are expected to be strongly affected by modifications in climate and disturbance
regimes, threatening their ability to sustain the provision of essential services. Promoting …

Tree drought–mortality risk depends more on intrinsic species resistance than on stand species diversity
Increasing tree diversity is considered a key management option to adapt forests to climate
change. However, the effect of species diversity on a forest's ability to cope with extreme …

Large-scale remote sensing reveals that tree mortality in Germany appears to be greater than previously expected
Global warming poses a major threat to forests and events of increased tree mortality are
observed globally. Studying tree mortality often relies on local-level observations of dieback …

Plant–soil feedback drives the 'nursing effect'on Sitka spruce
The productivity of economically valuable focal trees in mixtures is often improved by
inclusion of lower‐value nursing species, but the mechanisms underpinning such effects are …

Using long‐term tree diversity experiments to explore the mechanisms of temporal shifts in forest ecosystem functioning
Plant diversity is known to influence ecosystem functioning, but the strength and direction of
this relationship vary considerably among studies, most of which have a short duration. In …
