Recent research in northern Europe has revised many long-held conceptions of the
complexity of forest ecosystems and their natural structure and dynamics. The unveiling of …

Green-tree retention cutting (GTR) is a modification of traditional clear-cutting, aimed at
better consideration of biodiversity. We reviewed 214 North American and European studies …

Abiotic forest disturbances are an important driver of ecosystem dynamics. In Europe, storms
and fires have been identified as the most important abiotic disturbances in the recent past …

Closer-to-Nature Forest Management is a new concept proposed in the EU Forest Strategy
for 2030, which aims to improve the conservation values and climate resilience of …

Global forest area is declining rapidly, along with degradation of the ecological condition of
remaining forests. Hence it is necessary to adopt forest management approaches that can …

In Europe, forest management has controlled forest dynamics to sustain commodity
production over multiple centuries. Yet over‐regulation for growth and yield diminishes …

Loss of forest naturalness challenges the maintenance of green infrastructure (GI) for
biodiversity conservation and delivery of diverse ecosystem services. Using the Convention …

Pine resistance to low-to moderate-intensity fire arises from traits (namely related to tissue
insulation from heat) that enable tree survival. Predictive models of the likelihood of tree …

There is an increasing interest in implementing Continuous Cover Forestry (CCF) as a tool
to mitigate negative effects of the traditional rotation forestry system on biodiversity …

This review summarizes early stand-scale studies of pristine forest structures, disturbance
regimes and successional patterns carried out in boreal Eurasia. We attempt to reveal …
