Scattered broadleaved tree species such as ashes (Fraxinus excelsior L. and Fraxinus
angustifolia Vahl.), black alder (Alnus glutinosa (L.) Gaertn.), birches (Betula pendula Roth …

Natural disturbances are fundamental to forest ecosystem dynamics and have been used for
two decades to improve forest management, notably in the boreal forest. Initially based on …

Question: Have past windstorm events influenced the structure and composition of mountain
forests in the Tatra Mountains? Can severe and infrequent wind disturbances lead to …

Natural regeneration of windthrow areas is an important issue when planning forestry
measures after forest disturbances. Seedling recruitment was investigated in storm …

The regeneration patterns in wind-damaged areas are largely influenced by damage
severity and varied microrelief. Regeneration was studied in Picea abies dominated stands …

Key message Windstorms have recently caused noteworthy destruction across the Northern
forests of Turkey. The intensive forest management practices applied for more than 60+ …

Damage by wind in forests has increased in recent decades, counteracting possible growth
increases by nitrogen (N) deposition. This is also shown by the long-term forest monitoring …

We used a dendroecological approach to reconstruct the disturbance history of the old-
growth Korean pine (Pinus koraiensis Siebold et Zucc.)-broadleaved forest in the southern …

The herbaceous understory is a key component of forest biodiversity. Moreover, it holds the
capability to alter the dynamics and composition of the overstory. Severe wind disturbance …

We reviewed studies dealing with regeneration under variable conditions in boreal and
hemiboreal forests as affected by different microsite types by tree species functional groups …
