Provisioning forest and conservation science with high-resolution maps of potential distribution of major European tree species under climate change
By Véronique Lesage On 24 March 2021 In All published articles, Data in repository, Data paper, Open Access
Key message We developed a dataset of the potential distribution of seven ecologically and economically important tree species of Europe in terms of their climatic suitability with an ensemble approach while accounting for uncertainty due to model

Visual perception of different wood surfaces: an event-related potentials study
Key message Visual perception of the appearances of different wood surfaces is greatly influenced by their features, such as color, grain, and gloss. Among these features, human visual perception of wood grain type occurs through a later

Effect of extraction on the acoustic vibrational properties of Picea jezoensis var. microsperma (Lindl.) W.C.Cheng & L.K.Fu
Key message The specific dynamic elastic modulus, acoustic radiation, logarithmic decrement, sound transmission parameter, and acoustic conversion efficiency of spruce wood (Picea jezoensis var. microsperma (Lindl.) W.C.Cheng & L.K.Fu) were improved by extraction treatment with deionized water,

Rule-based vs parametric approaches for developing climate-sensitive site index models: a case study for Scots pine stands in northwestern Spain
Key message Parametric indirect models derived from stem analysis of dominant trees were more robust than rule-based machine learning techniques for predicting Site Index of Scots pine stands as a function of climate. Abstract Context The uncertainties

Genetic variation and inheritance of susceptibility to Neonectria neomacrospora and Christmas tree traits in a progeny test of Nordmann fir
Key message Pronounced additive genetic variation and high narrow-sense heritability for lesion length caused by Neonectria neomacrospora were found in a Nordmann fir progeny test. Significant inbreeding depression was detected in traits important for Christmas tree production.

Number and height of unbrowsed saplings are more appropriate than the proportion of browsed saplings for predicting silvicultural regeneration success
By Véronique Lesage On 1 March 2021 In All published articles, Data in repository, Open Access, Research paper
Key message The browsing level of oak (Quercus petraea and Quercus robur) and fir (Abies alba) provided only a rough estimate of the expected regeneration success. Thus, it cannot be recommended as a standard measurement to predict

How do invasive trees impact shrub layer diversity and productivity in temperate forests?
By Véronique Lesage On 1 March 2021 In All published articles, Data in repository, Open Access, Research paper
Key message Invasive tree species alter taxonomic diversity and functioning of forest shrub layers: Prunus serotina increases shrub layer biomass two to three times but decreases its biodiversity, Robinia pseudoacacia slightly increases shrub layer biomass and has
