Tackling unresolved questions in forest ecology: The past and future role of simulation models
Understanding the processes that shape forest functioning, structure, and diversity remains
challenging, although data on forest systems are being collected at a rapid pace and across …

From theory to experiments for testing the proximate mechanisms of mast seeding: an agenda for an experimental ecology
Highly variable and synchronised production of seeds by plant populations, known as
masting, is implicated in many important ecological processes, but how it arises remains …

The evolution, complexity and diversity of models of long‐term forest dynamics
To assess the impacts of climate change on vegetation from stand to global scales, models
of forest dynamics that include tree demography are needed. Such models are now …

Plant respiration: controlled by photosynthesis or biomass?
Two simplifying hypotheses have been proposed for whole‐plant respiration. One links
respiration to photosynthesis; the other to biomass. Using a first‐principles carbon balance …

Forest production efficiency increases with growth temperature
Forest production efficiency (FPE) metric describes how efficiently the assimilated carbon is
partitioned into plants organs (biomass production, BP) or—more generally—for the …

[HTML][HTML] Stand age diversity (and more than climate change) affects forests' resilience and stability, although unevenly
Stand age significantly influences the functioning of forest ecosystems by sha** structural
and physiological plant traits, affecting water and carbon budgets. Forest age distribution is …

Feasibility of enhancing carbon sequestration and stock capacity in temperate and boreal European forests via changes to management regimes
Forest management practices might act as nature-based methods to remove CO 2 from the
atmosphere and slow anthropogenic climate change and thus support an EU forest-based …

Empirical and process-based models predict enhanced beech growth in European mountains under climate change scenarios: A multimodel approach
Process-based models and empirical modelling techniques are frequently used to (i)
explore the sensitivity of tree growth to environmental variables, and (ii) predict the future …
