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

Ongoing climate change poses significant threats to plant function and distribution.
Increased temperatures and altered precipitation regimes amplify drought frequency and …

Forest mensuration–the science of measurement applied to forest vegetation and forest
products–holds value for basic ecology as well as sustainable forest management. As …

Forest Growth and Yield Modeling synthesizes current scientific literature and provides
insights in how models are constructed. Giving suggestions for future developments, and …

Aim of study: We aim at (i) develo** a reference definition of mixed forests in order to
harmonize comparative research in mixed forests and (ii) briefly review the research …

The diversity of dominant tree species in a forest might strongly influence ecosystem
functions and services, but the current evidence is not strong enough to provide general …

I have attempted to reach a wide range of readers, from those with no formal forestry
education through to forest scientists involved in research. This has meant dealing with …

Tree size-density dynamics can inform key trends in forest productivity along with
opportunities to increase ecosystem resiliency. Here, we employ a novel approach to …

Quantifying stand density is important for accurate prediction of net biomass and carbon
accumulation, for estimating growth and mortality risks of trees, stands, and regions, and for …

Key message Competition-density relationships and self-thinning are major principles in
forest growth. They are combined, describing self-thinning as a marginal case of the …
