NFIWADS: the water budget, soil moisture, and drought stress indicator database for the German National Forest Inventory (NFI)
By Isabelle Fabrissin On 24 April 2019 In All published articles, Data in repository, Data paper, Special issue/Topical collection
The NFIWADS database contains aggregated results for the German National Forest Inventory (NFI) plots based on process-based water balance simulations. More than 150 water budget, soil moisture, and drought stress indicators were derived for mature, closed-canopy beech

Stand and environmental data from Pinus halepensis Mill. and Pinus sylvestris L. plantations in Spain
By Isabelle Fabrissin On 23 April 2019 In All published articles, Data in repository, Data paper, Open Access, Special issue/Topical collection
This data set provides valuable environmental information about Pinus halepensis and Pinus sylvestris plantations in Spain. An array of 74 physical, chemical and biochemical soil (organic horizon and 10 cm topsoil), climatic, physiographic and stand variables from

Variability of stone pine (Pinus pinea L.) fruit traits impacting pine nut yield
Cone to pine nut yield (PY), an important commercial feature of stone pine cropping, was higher in Chile than in main producer countries. PY is highly variable along years and depends on pine nut number inside cones,

Growth-mortality attributes and species composition determine carbon sequestration and dynamics of old stand types in the Acadian Forest of New Brunswick, Canada
We used 20 years of plot data to analyze the influence of tree growth-mortality balance and species mix on the potential of old stands to sequester carbon from the atmosphere and store carbon. The study indicated that

The conservation status assessment of Natura 2000 forest habitats in Europe: capabilities, potentials and challenges of national forest inventories data
By Isabelle Fabrissin On 17 April 2019 In All published articles, Research paper, Special issue/Topical collection
There is a need to improve the consistency of international information concerning the conservation status assessment of the species and habitat types in the Natura 2000 reports. National Forest Inventories could contribute towards a more objective and

Potential of remote sensing-based forest attribute models for harmonising large-scale forest inventories on regional level: a case study in Southwest Germany
By Isabelle Fabrissin On 16 April 2019 In All published articles, Research paper, Special issue/Topical collection
Image-based 3D information can provide metrics for forest attribute modelling that are robust within the study region. This enables transferability of predictive models to other data sets of the same region without loss of accuracy. As a

Mapping oak shoot browning in SW Spain using online imagery as virtual prospecting tool
By Isabelle Fabrissin On 15 April 2019 In All published articles, Data in repository, Research paper
Oak shoot browning is spatially widespread throughout the region of Extremadura (SW Spain) following an aggregative distribution pattern, with a much higher prevalence in cork than in holm oak. Context Shoot browning is considered a potential contributing

Nitrogen addition accelerates the nitrogen cycle in a young subtropical Cunninghamia lanceolata (Lamb.) plantation
By Isabelle Fabrissin On 12 April 2019 In All published articles, Data in repository, Research paper
The nitrogen (N) cycle is likely to accelerate under future climate change. Leaf δ 15 N enrichment factor is an indicator of N status in young Cunninghamia lanceolata (Lamb.) plantation ecosystems. Given that N dynamics across the

RegisTree: a registration algorithm to enhance forest inventory plot georeferencing
By Isabelle Fabrissin On 11 April 2019 In All published articles, Data in repository, Research paper, Special issue/Topical collection
The accuracy of remote sensing-based models of forest attributes could be improved by controlling the spatial registration of field and remote sensing data. We have demonstrated the potential of an algorithm matching plot-level field tree positions with

Are 40 years better than 55? An analysis of the reduction of forest rotation to cope with drought events in a Douglas fir stand
By Isabelle Fabrissin On 10 April 2019 In All published articles, Research paper, Special issue/Topical collection
Reduction of forest rotation is analyzed as a potential adaptation strategy for a Douglas fir stand to cope with drought-induced risk of forest decline. The methodology combines a water balance modeling and an economic approach. Results show
