Live fuel moisture content (LFMC) time series for multiple sites and species in the French Mediterranean area since 1996
We present a dataset of weekly live fuel moisture content (LFMC) time series over the summer season for 584 sites × years for several woody species in the French Mediterranean area. This database can be used to

Static site indices from different national forest inventories: harmonization and prediction from site conditions
Topical collection: Environmental data for the German NFI Static site indices determined from stands’ top height are derived from different forest inventory sources with height and age information and thus enable comparisons and modeling of a species’

Adaptive measures: integrating adaptive forest management and forest landscape restoration
Topical collection: Forest Adaptation and Restoration under Global Change Adaptive Forest Management and Forest Landscape Restoration do not contradict – ecosystem integrity and health are benefits and central goals in both concepts, and thus can be integrated.

Natural conifer regeneration patterns in temperate forests across the Inland Northwest, USA
Natural regeneration patterns of conifer species were studied. Seedling regeneration follows patterns responding to stand structure and site condition factors along shade and drought tolerance gradients. Our findings can assist in adaptive forest management for maintaining sustainable

How does economic research contribute to the management of forest ecosystem services?
Topical collection: Current issues in forest and wood science: series of reviews More and more environmental and resource economists are taking a particular interest in research on forest ecosystem services (FES), especially in a context of climate

Radial growth of Cinnamomum kanehirae Hayata displays a larger temperature sensitivity in dominant than codominant trees
The radial wood growth curves of Cinnamomum kanehirae Hayata (an endangered species of subtropical Taiwan) exhibit an S shape. The dominant trees displayed a larger radial growth than the codominant trees, and their growth was more sensitive

Climate, plant organs and species control dissolved nitrogen and phosphorus in fresh litter in a subalpine forest on the eastern Tibetan Plateau
Fresh litter contains a higher concentration of dissolved phosphorus (DP) than dissolved nitrogen (DN), which implies a more efficient DN transformation or reabsorption in the subalpine forest on the eastern Tibetan Plateau. Both DN and DP concentrations

A dataset of leaf inclination angles for temperate and boreal broadleaf woody species
Knowledge about leaf inclination angle distribution is essential for determining the radiation transmission within vegetation canopies and to indirectly quantify canopy attributes such as leaf area index and G-function. For this purpose, we measured and compiled an

Consistent set of additive biomass functions for eight tree species in Germany fit by nonlinear seemingly unrelated regression
Biomass functions are relevant for an easy and quick estimation of tree biomass. Nevertheless, additive biomass functions for different species and different components have not been published for the area of Germany, yet. Now, we present a

GIS Coop: networks of silvicultural trials for supporting forest management under changing environment
By AFS On 30 April 2018 In All published articles, Open Access, Review paper, Special issue/Topical collection
Topical collection: Mensuration and modelling for forestry in a changing environment The diversity of forest management systems and the contrasted competition level treatments applied make the experimental networks of the GIS Coop, a nationwide testing program in
