Clonality in black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia L.) and implications for seed production
By Véronique Lesage On 25 October 2024 In All published articles, Data in repository, Open Access, Research paper
Key message The strong clonal growth of black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia L.) not only influences the stand structure of natural or artificially established stands, but also the genetic composition of seed harvested from such clonal stands. For

Acorn removal and seedling age determine oak (Quercus ilex L. and Q. suber L.) restoration outcome in ungulate-dominated Mediterranean environments
By Véronique Lesage On 24 October 2024 In All published articles, Data in repository, Open Access, Research paper
Key message We test the potential benefits of planting 2-year vs. 1-year-old seedlings to restore Mediterranean oak-dominated systems. Planting 2-year-old Quercus suber L. seedlings is recommended for improved survival and resilience against wild boar (Sus scrofa L.)

Effects of different loads of Pinus pinaster Ait. litter and ash on the germination and growth of Cistus ladanifer L
By Véronique Lesage On 24 October 2024 In All published articles, Data in repository, Open Access, Research paper
Key message Cistus ladanifer L. shows an extraordinary plasticity of germination and growth. Fire promotes the regeneration of C. ladanifer by triggering its germination through thermal shock as well as by enhancing its seedling growth through the

Estimation of within-gap regeneration height growth in managed temperate deciduous forests using bi-temporal airborne laser scanning data
By Véronique Lesage On 24 October 2024 In All published articles, Data in repository, Open Access, Research paper
Key message Multi-temporal airborne laser scanning (ALS) data were used to estimate regeneration stem height growth within gaps in uneven-aged deciduous forests. The height and height growth measured in the field were used to calibrate and validate

Volume, increment, and aboveground biomass data series and biomass conversion and expansion factors for the main forest types of EU Member States
By Véronique Lesage On 22 October 2024 In All published articles, Data in repository, Data paper, Open Access
Key message This collection reports the standing stock volume, increment, aboveground biomass, and biomass conversion and expansion factors attributed to 222 forest types and 48 different management types, representative of 25 EU Member States. DOI: https://zenodo.org/records/11387301. Keywords

A growth-effective age-based periodic site-index for the estimation of dynamic forest site productivity under environmental changes
By Véronique Lesage On 21 October 2024 In All published articles, Data in repository, Open Access, Research paper
Key message A novel periodic site index is introduced for the quantification of dynamic forest site productivity. The measure is age-independent, sensitive to environmental changes and efficient for the estimation and prediction of stand height and stand

Do leaf lignin content or leaf mass-to-area bias the estimation of intrinsic water use efficiency from leaf bulk δ13C? A test with seedlings from five oak species
By Véronique Lesage On 15 October 2024 In All published articles, Data in repository, Open Access, Research paper
Key message Leaves of seedlings from five oak species (Quercus robur L.; Q. pubescens L.; Q. suber L.; Q. afares Pomel; Q. ilex L.) displayed large, mainly inter-specific, differences in leaf mass-to-area ratio (LMA) and lignin content,

Genetic structure of the European white elm (Ulmus laevis Pall., Ulmaceae) in Switzerland
By Irène Gabriel On 25 September 2024 In All published articles, Data in repository, Open Access, Research paper
Key message Populations of the European white elm (Ulmus laevis Pall.) in Switzerland can be considered natural. They show no evidence of genetic differentiation from other European populations. In the past, the U. laevis populations were probably

The rates of starch depletion and hydraulic failure both play a role in drought-induced seedling mortality
By Irène Gabriel On 9 August 2024 In All published articles, Data in repository, Open Access, Research paper
Key message The elapsed times to deplete starch concentrations and to reach a null hydraulic safety margin were related to tree seedling mortality under experimental drought. Starch concentration showed an accelerated decline across all species during the

Exploring the role of plant hydraulics in canopy fuel moisture content: insights from an experimental drought study on Pinus halepensis Mill. and Quercus ilex L.
By Irène Gabriel On 9 August 2024 In All published articles, Data in repository, Open Access, Research paper
Key message Understanding the impact of extreme drought on the canopy fuel moisture content (CFMC) is crucial to anticipate the effects of climate change on wildfires. Our study demonstrates that foliage mortality, caused by leaf embolism, can
