Monoterpene emission of Quercus suber L. highly infested by Cerambyx welensii Küster

Cork oaks highly infested by Cerambyx welensii emit an amount of limonene at dusk, when C. welensii adults become active. In contrast, emissions by neighboring cork oaks free of C. welensii are dominated by pinene-type compounds. Context

Phosphorus availability in relation to soil properties and forest productivity in Pinus sylvestris L. plantations

Pinus sylvestris L. productivity in Spanish plantations is driven by P availability, which, in turn, is determined by the activity of soil microorganisms, responsible for inorganic P solubilization; Fe and Al contents, responsible for P retention; and

Increasing radial and latewood growth rates of Larix cajanderi Mayr. and Pinus sylvestris L. in the continuous permafrost zone in Central Yakutia (Russia)

Annual radial growth and latewood formation increase during the period 1966–2015 in Larix cajanderi Mayr. and Pinus sylvestris L. along a latitudinal gradient on Siberian permafrost. Warmer temperatures and precipitation at the onset of the growth season

Knowing is not enough: exploring the missing link between climate change knowledge and action of German forest owners and managers

Adaptation to climate change is a complex but urgent task in forest management; however, a lack of action is widely reported. This study shows that adaptive action on both stand and business levels is missing in forest
