Climate has a larger effect than stand basal area on wood density in Pinus ponderosa var. scopulorum in the southwestern USA
By Isabelle Fabrissin On 16 August 2019 In All published articles, Research paper, Special issue/Topical collection
Stand basal area of ponderosa pine ( Pinus ponderosa var. scopulorum Engelm.) in the US Southwest has little effect on the density of the wood produced, but climatic fluctuations have a strong effect. Wood density increases during

Seasonal adjustment of primary and secondary growth in maritime pine under simulated climatic changes
By Isabelle Fabrissin On 14 August 2019 In All published articles, Research paper, Special issue/Topical collection
Reducing irrigation by up to 75% in spring decreased primary and secondary growth in Pinus pinaster Aiton saplings, whereas an extra irrigation in September prompted secondary growth, confirming the high plasticity of xylogenesis in this species. Context

The utility of terrestrial photogrammetry for assessment of tree volume and taper in boreal mixedwood forests
By Isabelle Fabrissin On 13 August 2019 In All published articles, Data in repository, Open Access, Research paper, Special issue/Topical collection
This study showed that digital terrestrial photogrammetry is able to produce accurate estimates of stem volume and diameter across a range of species and tree sizes that showed strong correspondence when compared with traditional inventory techniques. This

The conifer-curve: fast prediction of hydraulic conductivity loss and vulnerability to cavitation
By Isabelle Fabrissin On 12 August 2019 In All published articles, Open Access, Research paper, Special issue/Topical collection
The relationship between relative water loss (RWL) and hydraulic conductivity loss (PLC) in sapwood is robust across conifer species. We provide an empirical model (conifer-curve) for predicting PLC from simple RWL measurements. The approach is regarded as

Genetic variation and early selection in Larix decidua Mill. from progeny test in Romania
By Isabelle Fabrissin On 9 August 2019 In All published articles, Data in repository, Research paper
High genetic variation and determinism for quantitative traits of Larix decidua Mill. were found in a progeny test established at its south-eastern limit of distribution area. The top range families are from both native populations and artificial

Multi-temporal dataset of stand and canopy structural data in temperate and Mediterranean coppice forests
We provided long-term stand and canopy structural data from permanent monitoring plots representative of some most diffuse temperate and Mediterranean forests, under different coppice management regimes. Periodic inventories were performed in the surveyed plots since the 1970s.

Harmonised projections of future forest resources in Europe
By Isabelle Fabrissin On 7 August 2019 In All published articles, Data in repository, Data paper, Open Access, Special issue/Topical collection
A dataset of forest resource projections in 23 European countries to 2040 has been prepared for forest-related policy analysis and decision-making. Due to applying harmonised definitions, while maintaining country-specific forestry practices, the projections should be usable from

Monitoring disturbance intervals in forests: a case study of increasing forest disturbance in Minnesota
By Isabelle Fabrissin On 5 August 2019 In All published articles, Data in repository, Research paper
We develop analytical methods and explore trends in disturbance interval via systematic forest inventory observations at a bioregional scale. Context Our study spans the dynamic ecotone at the intersection of southern boreal forest, mixed hardwood forest, and

Geographic variation of tree height of three pine species (Pinus nigra Arn., P. pinaster Aiton, and P. pinea L.) gathered from common gardens in Europe and North-Africa
By Isabelle Fabrissin On 2 August 2019 In All published articles, Data in repository, Data paper, Special issue/Topical collection
This datapaper collects individual georeferenced tree height data from Pinus nigra Arn., P. pinaster Aiton, and P. pinea L. planted in common gardens in France, Germany, Morocco, and Spain. The data can be used to assess genetic

The relationship between climate and the intra-annual oxygen isotope patterns from pine trees: a case study along an elevation gradient on Corsica, France
Intra-annual oxygen isotope patterns of tree-ring cellulose from Pinus nigra subsp. laricio and Pinus pinaster along an elevation gradient can be divided into four distinct patterns ((1) high values in the beginning of the tree ring, declining
