Wood microdensitometry is the analysis of radial variations of density at the annual or intra-
annual growth ring level. Density is related to wood quality, biomass, carbon content, tree …

Although the analysis of flux data has increased our understanding of the interannual
variability of carbon inputs into forest ecosystems, we still know little about the determinants …

Large old trees have declined worldwide, even though they play a prominent role in
biodiversity and also in carbon stocks of forests. We were interested in the contribution of …

We are currently witnessing significant global changes in climate conditions. We cannot
change the natural conditions, but with regard to sustainable landscape management, we …

Laser deep engraving is one of the most promising technologies to be used in wood carver
operations. In this method, a laser beam is used to ablate a solid wood bulk, following …

Mixing species has been proposed as a forest management option to mitigate the effects of
the increase in summer drought episodes predicted by climate change models in temperate …

Key message Decreasing stand density increases resistance, resilience, and recovery of
Quercus petraea trees to severe drought (2003), particularly on dry sites, and the effect was …

The extent to which wood growth is limited by carbon (C) supply (ie source control) or by
cambial activity (ie sink control) will strongly determine the responses of trees to global …

Urban forests in northern Europe are threatened by climate change and biosecurity risks,
and in response, city planners are urged to select a wider portfolio of tree species to mitigate …

Many aspects of the urban environment have the potential to affect tree growth and
physiology in forest patches, including higher temperatures, elevated CO 2 concentrations …
