This account presents information on all aspects of the biology of Fraxinus excelsior L.(Ash)
that are relevant to understanding its ecological characteristics and behaviour. The main …

This study provides a comprehensive set of functions for predicting biomass for Common
beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) in Central Europe for all major tree compartments. The equations …

Tree internal carbon (C) fluxes between compound and compartment pools are difficult to
measure directly. Here we used a C mass balance approach to decipher these fluxes and …

Abstract Background and Aims This study investigated initial land-use change effects on
ecosystem biomass, carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) allocation and storage by comparing a …

In the present study, the distribution of C and nutrients in biomass (above-and below-
ground) and soil were estimated in native Quercus robur stands in NW Spain. This …

Key message The relative shade tolerance of T. cordata, F. sylvatica, and C. betulus in
mature stands is based on different species-specific carbon and nitrogen allocation patterns …

Key message Stump-to-tip trends in basic wood density complicate the conversion of tree
volume into aboveground biomass. We use 3D tree models from terrestrial laser scanning to …

For the last several decades, native broad-leafed forests in many areas of south China have
been converted into plantations of more productive forest species for timber use. This paper …

About 5% of forest area of Friuli Venezia Giulia (Italy) is covered by mixed ash stands. In
most cases, these are secondary forest established on former pastures and grasslands in …

Key message Beech growth variability and climate sensitivity are much higher in the crown
top than in the bole. The most notable bole–crown discrepancies occurred in response to …
