Effects of diameter distribution errors on stand management decisions according to a simulated individual tree detection
By Véronique Lesage On 30 March 2020 In All published articles, Data in repository, Research paper, Special issue/Topical collection
Abstract Key Message Tree-level forest inventory data are becoming increasingly available, which motivates the use of these data for decision-making. However, airborne inventories carried out tree-by-tree typically include systematic errors, which can propagate to objective function variables

Quantitative and qualitative composition of bark polyphenols changes longitudinally with bark maturity in Abies alba Mill.
Abstract Key message Total bark extractive content increases at positions higher in the trunk of Abies alba Mill. trees. The greatest proportions of bark polyphenolic extractives are found in the lower section of the trunk, below the

Spatial distribution and interspecific association patterns between Mansonia altissima A. Chev., Ceiba pentandra (L.) Gaertn and Triplochiton scleroxylon K. Schum. in a moist semi-deciduous forest
Key message Mansonia altissima A. Chev. has an aggregated distribution at the juvenile life stage that becomes random at the mature life stage. Ceiba pentandra (L.) Gaertn could play the role of nurse plant in the management

24-Epibrassinolide mitigates nickel toxicity in young Eucalyptus urophylla S.T. Blake plants: nutritional, physiological, biochemical, anatomical and morphological responses
By Isabelle Fabrissin On 26 February 2020 In All published articles, Data in repository, Research paper
Key message Our research revealed that 24-epibrassinolide alleviated nickel toxicity in young Eucalyptus urophylla plants, inducing benefits on nutritional, physiological, biochemical, anatomical and morphological responses. Context Soil contamination by heavy metals may limit the Eucalyptus production. Disturbances

Clinal variation along precipitation gradients in Patagonian temperate forests: unravelling demographic and selection signatures in three Nothofagus spp.
By Isabelle Fabrissin On 25 February 2020 In All published articles, Data in repository, Research paper
Key message Past demographic changes and current selection pressures determine the genetic variation displayed by Nothofagus species along rainfall gradients. Based on the diversity trends observed at candidate genes associated to drought stress, we inferred a differential

Effects of Quercus rubra L. on soil properties and humus forms in 50-year-old and 80-year-old forest stands of Lombardy plain
By Isabelle Fabrissin On 24 February 2020 In All published articles, Data in repository, Research paper
Key message Besides the well-known effects on the native plant community, red oak may also impact the soil; the effects of afforestation with red oak involve both organic layers and mineral soil, resulting in changes in organic

Towards the dynamic conservation of Serbian spruce (Picea omorika) western populations
By Isabelle Fabrissin On 20 February 2020 In All published articles, Data in repository, Research paper
Key message High levels of genetic diversity, pronounced genetic structure and limitations to gene flow in Serbian spruce, a rare and endangered tree species from the refugial Balkan region, point towards a “one population-one unit” strategy for

Canopy composition and site are indicative of mineral soil conditions in Patagonian mixed Nothofagus forests
By Isabelle Fabrissin On 17 February 2020 In All published articles, Data in repository, Research paper
Key message Canopy composition in mixed Patagonian Nothofagus forests has an impact on soil properties like cationic exchange capacity and pH, while most soil variables changed with site [P, cation exchange capacity (CEC), soil moisture (SM), resistance

Why does Annals of Forest Science no longer accept e-only material?
By Erwin Dreyer On 15 February 2020 In All published articles, Data in repository, Editor's choice, Editorial news, For authors, For referees
The editorial procedures of Annals of Forest Science change continuously for the better (we hope!). After having put an emphasis on access to data associated to publications, we made another albeit smaller chage: we no longer accept

Quantifying the risk mitigation efficiency of changing silvicultural systems under storm risk throughout history
By Isabelle Fabrissin On 14 February 2020 In All published articles, Data in repository, Research paper, Special issue/Topical collection
Key message Silvicultural adaptations throughout history resulted in an increasing mitigation efficiency towards storm risk, quantifiable through an increasing conditional value at risk and decreasing average damage loss. Recently recommended silvicultural systems for spruce stands in Central
