Inoculation success of Inonotus obliquus (Ach. ex Pers.) Pilát in birch (Betula pendula Roth, B. pubescens Ehrh.) and alder (Alnus incana (L.) Moench, A. glutinosa (L.) Gaertn.) in Estonia
By Carla Allais On 30 January 2026 In All published articles, Non classé, Open Access, Research paper
Research paper Key message This is the first study to investigate the success of inoculation of Alnus incana and A. glutinosa with Inonotus obliquus (Ach. ex Pers.) Pilát, providing new insights about the potential cultivation of this valuable fungus under field conditions. Results show that conks

Influence of forest thinning on the soil fauna: a systematic review of current knowledge and research gaps
Review paper Key message This systematic review shows that thinning effects on soil fauna abundance and species richness vary with thinning strategy and methodological approach. Positive responses are due to improved resources and favorable microclimate conditions, whereas

Impact of extreme precipitation events on summer deep seepage below temperate forests in the Northeastern Germany lowlands
By Carla Allais On 27 January 2026 In All published articles, Non classé, Open Access, Research paper
Research paper Key message Stands stocked with European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.), sessile oak (Quercus petraea (Matt.) Liebl.), and Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) show distinct deep seepage patterns. An increasing importance of extreme summer precipitation contributing to deep seepage

Tracking a decade of change: insights from long-term monitoring of an old-growth temperate rainforest on Chiloé Island, Chile
Key message Southern temperate rainforests harbor exceptional endemic biodiversity and large carbon stocks but remain underrepresented in global monitoring networks. Here, we present a dataset and standardized census protocol from a 1-ha permanent plot in an old-growth

Crown–branching trade-offs mediate growth and resilience to drought, frost, and masting under moderate thinning in European Beech (Fagus sylvatica L.)
By Carla Allais On 22 January 2026 In All published articles, Non classé, Open Access, Research paper
Key message Thinning boosts radial growth in European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.), but more is not always better: moderate thinning offers the best vitality balance by keeping resilience comparable to heavily thinned trees, while reducing the sensitivity to

Integrated modelling approaches for estimating total organic carbon, total nitrogen, total phosphorus, and ash content in forest floor samples using ATR-FTIR spectroscopy
By Carla Allais On 16 January 2026 In All published articles, Non classé, Open Access, Research paper
Key message ATR-FTIR spectroscopy combined with statistical modelling provides accurate predictions of forest floor properties: total organic carbon, total nitrogen, total phosphorus and ash. Performance decreases in carbonate-rich samples, particularly for organic carbon and the carbon to
