Stand structure can strongly influence forest growth and other processes, such as the water
balance, carbon partitioning, nutrient cycling and light dynamics. However, individual …

Through complementarity interactions, mixed-species forests can be more productive than
monocultures, and this effect can increase with tree-species richness. However, this is not …

Increasing drought frequency and severity in a warming climate threaten forest ecosystems
with widespread tree deaths. Canopy structure is important in regulating tree mortality during …

Climate change threatens the role of European forests as a long-term carbon sink. Assisted
migration aims to increase the resilience of forest tree populations to climate change, using …

The boreal forests of Fennoscandia are largely dominated by Norway spruce and Scots
pine. Conifer monocultures have been favoured in forest management during the last …

Mixing of complementary tree species may increase stand productivity, mitigate the effects of
drought and other risks, and pave the way to forest production systems which may be more …

There is increasing evidence that species diversity enhances the temporal stability (TS) of
community productivity in different ecosystems, although its effect at the population and tree …

Forests provide a wide variety of ecosystem services (ES) to society. The boreal biome is
experiencing the highest rates of warming on the planet and increasing demand for forest …

As the applications of Earth system models (ESM s) move from general climate projections
toward questions of mitigation and adaptation, the inclusion of land management practices …

As they fulfil many ecological and social functions and services better than even-aged
monocultures, heterogeneous pure and mixed-species stands are on the advance in Central …
