Land plants have adapted to survive under a range of wind climates and this involve
changes in chemical composition, physical structure and morphology at all scales from the …

We reviewed recent literature to identify the positive and negative effects of thinning on both
stand-and tree-level resistance and resilience to four stressors that are expected to increase …

Abstract Purpose of the Review The concept of tree-related microhabitats (TreMs) is an
approach to assess and manage multi-taxon species richness in forest ecosystems. Owing …

This paper presents a review of our current understanding of the process of wind damage to
trees and forests, with a particular, but not exclusive focus, on planted and managed forests …

Context Growing evidence suggests that climate change could substantially alter forest
disturbances. Interactions between individual disturbance agents are a major component of …

This book presents the latest scientific and management information on multiaged
silviculture, an emerging strategy for managing forestry systems worldwide. Over recent …

From the stems of agricultural crops to the structural trunks of trees, studying the mechanical
behaviour of plant stems is critical for both commerce and science. Plant scientists are also …

With climate change, natural disturbances such as storm or fire are reshuffled, inducing
pervasive shifts in forest dynamics. To predict how it will impact forest structure and …

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 …

Mountain forests provide a wide range of ecosystem services, including carbon
sequestration and protection from natural hazards. Forest cover in the European Alps has …
