Stem quality assessment in European National Forest Inventories: an opportunity for harmonised reporting?
By Erwin Dreyer On 29 August 2015 In Research paper
The potential of European National Forest Inventories to harmonise stem quality estimation in European forests was identified despite considerable differences in existing national approaches. Abstract Knowledge on stem quality and assortments structure in European forests is highly

Molecular marker associated with a deleterious recessive anomaly in Eucalyptus grandis seedlings
By Erwin Dreyer On 25 August 2015 In Research paper
The identification of an anomaly with deleterious effect and Mendelian segregation (3 normal: 1 abnormal) allowed the detection of a marker linked to a locus for the anomalous phenotype. This marker could be useful in marker-assisted breeding

Developing a dynamic growth model for maritime pine in Asturias (NW Spain): comparison with nearby regions
By Erwin Dreyer On 25 August 2015 In Research paper
A dynamic growth model was developed for maritime pine in Asturias. During the evaluation process, a stand volume ratio function proved the best of two alternative methods for estimating merchantable volume. Comparison of the developed model with

Monitoring European forests: results for science, policy, and society
By Erwin Dreyer On 25 August 2015 In Letter to the editor
Forest inventories have been carried out in Europe for centuries with the view to secure the wood supply. The first forest surveys based on probabilistic sampling design started in the early 1920s with the aim to provide

Xylem and soil CO2 fluxes in a Quercus pyrenaica Willd. coppice: root respiration increases with clonal size
By Erwin Dreyer On 7 August 2015 In Research paper
Xylem and soil CO2 fluxes in coppiced oak forests increase with clonal size, suggesting larger expenditures of energy for root respiration. An imbalance between root demand and shoot production of carbohydrates may contribute to the degradation of
