Hydraulic properties for a wide range of undisturbed and compacted French forest soils: in situ measurements and estimation with the BEST method
By Véronique Lesage On 8 November 2024 In All published articles, Data in repository, Data paper, Open Access
Key message The dataset provides hydraulic properties estimated using the Beerkan Estimation of Soil Transfer (BEST) method, on undisturbed and on compacted and rutted French forest soils. It allows a reliable assessment of the effect of traffic

Characterization and prediction of hydraulic properties of traffic-compacted forest soils based on soil information and traffic treatments
By Véronique Lesage On 7 November 2024 In All published articles, Data in repository, Open Access, Research paper
Key message The hydraulic properties of compacted and rutted soils were evaluated through in-situ infiltration experiments and predicted based on soil texture class and traffic treatments. A significant decrease in saturated soil water content and soil hydraulic

Volume-based selection in Pinus pinaster Aiton breeding: evaluating resistance to Bursaphelenchus xylophilus (Steiner & Buhrer) Nickle and wood properties
Key message Genetic parameter estimates at age 12 years for trunk volume in Pinus pinaster displayed low to moderate heritability for growth and stem form, whereas wood properties showed high heritability. No correlation was detected between resistance

Light-demanding canopy tree species do not indicate past human disturbance in the Yangambi rainforest (Democratic Republic of the Congo)
By Véronique Lesage On 5 November 2024 In All published articles, Data in repository, Open Access, Research paper
Key message In a former paper, we investigated whether the presence of light-demanding tree species in the forest canopy of the Yangambi Biosphere Reserve (central Congo basin) might be a result of past human disturbances (Luambua et
