Knowing is not enough: exploring the missing link between climate change knowledge and action of German forest owners and managers
By Isabelle Fabrissin On 18 October 2019 In All published articles, Data in repository, Research paper, Special issue/Topical collection
Adaptation to climate change is a complex but urgent task in forest management; however, a lack of action is widely reported. This study shows that adaptive action on both stand and business levels is missing in forest

New special issue: Impacts of natural disturbances on forest ecosystems under climate change: large-scale analysis and modelling
By Isabelle Fabrissin On 16 October 2019 In Editorial board informations, Editorial news, For authors, Special issue/Topical collection
We are launching the special issue “Impacts of natural disturbances on forest ecosystems under climate change: large-scale analysis and modelling” Forest ecosystems play a key role in ensuring Earth’s climate stability by storing large amounts of carbon

Precipitation mediates the temporal dynamics of net primary productivity and precipitation use efficiency in China’s northern and southern forests
Precipitation mediates the dynamic of net primary productivity and precipitation use efficiency across the North-South Transect forests of China, which may result from an increase of productivity in warm temperate deciduous broad-leaved forests or a decrease of

Polyculture affects biomass production of component species but not total standing biomass and soil carbon stocks in a temperate forest plantation
Over-yielding of stand biomass did not occur in a tree polyculture comprised of Betula pendula, Alnus glutinosa and Fagus sylvatica selected for contrasting traits. This was due to antagonistic interactions between the component species. Fine root dynamics

Fire activity and burned forest lands decreased during the last three decades in Spain
Fire activity has decreased in the last decades in Spain as a whole and in most provinces. However, fire risk factors have increased. Wildfires are burning preferentially treeless areas. Flammable pine areas burn less, while the less

Phenology of wood formation in larch (Larix decidua Mill.) trees growing along a 1000-m elevation gradient in the French Southern Alps
By Isabelle Fabrissin On 28 August 2019 In All published articles, Data in repository, Special issue/Topical collection
Spring temperature increase is the main driver of larch tree wood formation onset along a 1000-m elevation gradient in the Southern Alps, while its cessation is more probably controlled by water stress at the lowest elevation and

Stem cycle analyses help decipher the nonlinear response of trees to concurrent warming and drought
By Isabelle Fabrissin On 27 August 2019 In All published articles, Research paper, Special issue/Topical collection
High-resolution analysis of stem radius variation can quantify the impact of warming and drought on stem water balance and stem growth in black spruce [ Picea mariana (Mill.) B.S.P.)]. Drought affected plant water status and stem growth.

Scaling-up individual-level allometric equations to predict stand-level fuel loading in Mediterranean shrublands
By Isabelle Fabrissin On 26 August 2019 In All published articles, Data in repository, Research paper
Allometric biomass equations developed for individual shrubs can be applied to estimate shrubland fuels from measurements of cover and average height by species. Context Shrubs are a major component of surface fuels in many fire-prone ecosystems. Shrub

Guidelines for reviewers: How to review a data paper?
By Isabelle Fabrissin On 23 August 2019 In Editorial board informations, Editorial news, For referees
Data papers aim at describing a dataset made available to a larger community. Data papers are a scientific valuable production and should provide all required information for a large use of the data. The data paper should

Long-term loblolly pine land use reduces methane and net greenhouse gas emissions in a subtropical Cambisol, despite increasing nitrous oxide
In loblolly pine land use of 17–32 years following forest clearing, CH4 consumption and N2O emission diminished by 17 years, due to high soil moisture (~ 80% WFPS, N2O into N2 ), but increased by 32 years, where
