Changes in drought tolerance of Pinus radiata in Chile associated with provenance and breeding generation
By Erwin Dreyer On 5 December 2015 In Research paper
In Chile, breeding radiata pine for growth has led to drifts in the degree of drought tolerance of the seedlings. Interior provenances gained a larger tolerance to drought after three breeding generations as shown by larger survival

Aboveground biomass equations for sustainable production of fuelwood in a native dry tropical afro-montane forest of Ethiopia
By Erwin Dreyer On 5 December 2015 In Research paper
Biomass equations are presented for five tree species growing in a natural forest in Ethiopia. Fitted models showed more accurate estimations than published generalized models for this dry tropical forest. Abstract Biomass equations are needed to correctly

Evaluating the productivity of four main tree species in Germany under climate change with static reduced models
By Erwin Dreyer On 5 December 2015 In Research paper
We present simple models of forest net primary production (NPP) in Germany that show increasing productivity, especially in mountainous areas, under warming unless water becomes a limiting factor. They can be used for spatially explicit, rapid climate

New alternatives for wood preservation based on thermal and chemical modification of wood— a review
Increasing environmental pressures appearing over the last few years have led to important changes in the field of wood protection. In this context, new technologies, based either on thermal or chemical modifications, suggest increasing interest in prospect
