Tree species composition is a primary attribute of forest ecosystems, and is often
manipulated by silvicultural practices. Forest management to diversify tree species is now …

Increasing environmental concerns with forestry have led to mounting interest in mixedwood
management as a possible strategy to achieve a diversity of ecological and productivity …

Where natural production capacity permits, modern silvicultural management in Central
Europe frequently aims at the development of mixed broadleaved stands, instead of pure …

This paper reviews the primary effects of canopy on understorey vegetation to provide
insight into the management of the canopy space to benefit tree regeneration. Site …

In temperate deciduous forests, the herb layer contributes most to total vascular plant
species richness. The diversity of the tree layer can influence herb layer diversity by …

This paper aims to develop a new approach to interpret soil organic matter (SOM) dynamics
from Rock-Eval pyrolysis. Rock-Eval standard parameters (TpS2, HI, OI) are limited when …

Topsoil conditions in temperate forests are influenced by several soil-forming factors, such
as canopy composition (eg through litter quality), land-use history, atmospheric deposition …

Forest management regimes influence plant diversity and soil properties. Many European
forests were traditionally managed as coppice-with-standards of which the majority are …

Conversion of historical to modern forest management regimes can have profound effects
on understorey diversity and composition, because overstorey changes affect environmental …

Current nature conservation policy is going to alter the tree-layer composition of many
Central European deciduous forests. As a consequence of ceasing silvicultural …
