Measuring xylem hydraulic vulnerability for long-vessel species: an improved methodology with the flow centrifugation technique
By Véronique Lesage On 22 March 2022 In All published articles, Data in repository, Open Access, Research paper, Special issue/Topical collection
Key message Recent improvements to cavitron setup enable to measure xylem vulnerability curves for an expanded number of plant species, with longer vessels or lower hydraulic conductivity. Keywords Drought resistance; Plant hydraulic; Vulnerability curve; Cavitron; Method Publication

Localized neighborhood species mingling is correlated with individual tree size inequality in natural forests in South China
Key message We identified the significant spatial relationships between tree species mingling and size inequality in various species-rich natural forests in South China. Forest communities with low species mingling, or segregation of heterospecific trees, exhibited increased segregation

Mapping tropical forest trees across large areas with lightweight cost-effective terrestrial laser scanning
Key message We used lightweight terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) to detect over 3000 stems per hectare across a 12-ha permanent forest plot in French Guiana, 81% of them < 10 cm in trunk diameter. This method retrieved 85% of

Shrub richness is primarily driven by climate conditions in Southwestern European woodlands
By Véronique Lesage On 7 December 2021 In All published articles, Data in repository, Open Access, Research paper
Key message The shrub species richness in Spanish forests is mainly linked to climatic variables and the importance of the groups of variables scarcely differs among forest types. Forest surrounding the Mediterranean Basin exhibit the highest levels

A generic information framework for decision-making in a forest-based bio-economy
By Véronique Lesage On 1 December 2021 In All published articles, Data in repository, Research paper
Key message We present a methodological framework that both scientists and supply chain actors can mobilise to organise information at different scales of observation, and further make informed decisions regarding the supply and extraction of bio-molecules from

Recognition of dominant driving factors behind sap flow of Liquidambar formosana based on back-propagation neural network method
By Véronique Lesage On 23 November 2021 In All published articles, Data in repository, Research paper
Key message Three-layered back-propagation (BP) neural networks with architecture 4–10-1 (four neurons in the input layer, ten neurons in the hidden layer and one neuron in the output layer) performed better than MLR (multivariate linear regression) in

Radiative transfer modeling in structurally complex stands: towards a better understanding of parametrization
By Véronique Lesage On 29 October 2021 In All published articles, Data in repository, Research paper
Key message The best options to parametrize a radiative transfer model change according to the response variable used for fitting. To predict transmitted radiation, the turbid medium approach performs much better than the porous envelop, especially when

White-tailed deer herbivory impacts on tree seedling and sapling abundance in the Lake States Region of the USA
By Véronique Lesage On 29 October 2021 In All published articles, Data in repository, Research paper
Key message White-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginiana Zimmermann) browsing reduces seedling and sapling abundance of more palatable winter woody browse such as Tsuga canadensis L. Carrière, Thuja occidentalis L., Betula alleghaniensis Britton, and Pinus strobus L. across the

An intensive study plot to investigate chestnut tree reproduction
By Véronique Lesage On 28 October 2021 In All published articles, Data in repository, Data paper, Open Access
Key message Pollination is a key step for fruit production. To provide a tool for future in-depth analysis of pollination in chestnut, we describe in detail a chestnut orchard (location, genotype, phenotype and seed-set of all trees).

Climate warming-induced replacement of mesic beech by thermophilic oak forests will reduce the carbon storage potential in aboveground biomass and soil
By Véronique Lesage On 22 October 2021 In All published articles, Data in repository, Open Access, Research paper
Key message Climate-warming related replacement of beech by oak forests in the course of natural forest succession or silvicultural decisions may considerably reduce ecosystem carbon storage of central European woodlands. Abstract Context Climate warming may change the
