Variation in pinewood nematode susceptibility among Pinus pinaster Ait. provenances from the Iberian Peninsula and France
By AFS On 30 November 2017 In All published articles, Research paper, Special issue/Topical collection
Topical collection: Mediterranean Pines Pinus pinaster Ait. susceptibility to pinewood nematode significantly differed among provenances, and the two Atlantic provenances of the Iberian Peninsula being the most affected. However, significant provenance × environment interaction was found. Provenance

A practical way to integrate risk in forest management decisions
By AFS On 28 November 2017 In All published articles, Research paper, Special issue/Topical collection
Topical collection: Risk Analysis The concept of expected losses is an appropriate measure for integrating risk in the determination of the optimal rotation period and choice of tree species. Context. Natural threats are challenging forest management decisions.

Stand-level wind damage can be assessed using diachronic photogrammetric canopy height models
By AFS On 28 November 2017 In All published articles, Research paper, Special issue/Topical collection
Topical collection: Mensuration and modelling for forestry in a changing environment Diachronic photogrammetric canopy height models can be used to quantify at a fine scale changes in dominant height and wood volume following storms. The regular renewal

Initial recovery of compacted soil—planting and technical treatments decrease CO2 concentrations in soil and promote root growth
The combination of technical treatments and planting of alder trees in a compacted forest soil improves the circulation of air and water through the pore system. This leads to decreases in CO2concentrations and increases in root growth

Mixing oak and pine trees does not improve the functional response to severe drought in central French forests
Mixing sessile oak and Scots pine in central France to reduce intraspecific competition for water resources did not improve the ability of these two species to withstand severe drought during the summer. Context. In order to reduce

Fuzzy modelling and mapping soil moisture for observed periods and climate scenarios. An alternative for dynamic modelling at the national and regional scale?
By AFS On 14 November 2017 In All published articles, Research paper, Special issue/Topical collection
Topical collection: ICP Forests Average soil moisture was spatially modelled for observed periods and climate scenarios using a fuzzy logic approach. Accordingly, a significant decline of soil moisture until 2070 in Germany and the Kellerwald National Park
