Wood, knots and bark extractives for oak, beech and Douglas fir: a dataset based on a review of the scientific literature
By Véronique Lesage On 21 February 2024 In All published articles, Data in repository, Data paper, Open Access
Key message Wood_db-chemistry gathers information on oak, beech and Douglas fir extractives studied between 1950 and 2020. The data can be used by researchers, stakeholders in the forest-wood sector and the chemical industry to make the most

Aiming at a moving target: economic evaluation of adaptation strategies under the uncertainty of climate change and CO2 fertilization of European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) and Silver fir (Abies alba Mill.)
By Véronique Lesage On 23 January 2024 In All published articles, Data in repository, Open Access, Research paper, Special issue/Topical collection
Key message Drought severely worsened till 2100 and eventually outplayed growth-enhancing CO2 fertilization turning productivity gains into losses for beech and fir. Most scenarios generated notable losses in profitability but economic tipping points were later than for

Factors determining fine-scale spatial genetic structure within coexisting populations of common beech (Fagus sylvatica L.), pedunculate oak (Quercus robur L.), and sessile oak (Q. petraea (Matt.) Liebl.)
By Véronique Lesage On 18 January 2024 In All published articles, Data in repository, Open Access, Research paper
Key message Naturally regenerating populations of common beech, pedunculate and sessile oaks develop strong spatial genetic structures at adult and seedling stages. Significant genetic relationship occurs between individuals growing up to 60 m apart. This indicates the

Forest management and former land use have no effect on soil fungal diversity in uneven-aged mountain high forests
By Véronique Lesage On 16 January 2024 In All published articles, Data in repository, Open Access, Research paper
Key message Metabarcoding analysis of soil fungal communities in French mountain forests revealed that harvesting intensity, time since last harvest and former land use had no effect on fungal community composition compared to key abiotic factors. Low-intensity

Post-fire forest recovery at high latitudes: tree regeneration dominated by fire-adapted, early-seral species increases with latitude
By Véronique Lesage On 6 December 2023 In All published articles, Data in repository, Open Access, Review paper
Key message Above 40° N/S, increasing latitude is linked to greater post-fire tree regeneration. However, species dominance shifts from conifers to short-lived deciduous trees, which may negatively impact flora, fauna, and ecosystem services dependent on coniferous forests.

Participatory ground data are complementary to satellite bark beetle detection
By Véronique Lesage On 1 December 2023 In All published articles, Data in repository, Open Access, Research paper
Key message During pest outbreaks, mapping tools play an important role. Participatory projects can provide useful ground data, which have a high accuracy in detecting early-stage infestations and small spots of the European spruce bark beetle Ips

Three systems of molecular markers reveal genetic differences between varieties sabina and balkanensis in the Juniperus sabina L. range
By Véronique Lesage On 30 November 2023 In All published articles, Data in repository, Open Access, Research paper
Key message Juniperus sabina var. balkanensis, that is of hybrid origin, and its maternal progenitor J. sabina var. sabina are genetically distinct with respect to cpDNA, SNP, and SilicoDArT loci. Mostly non-overlapping distributions of the sabina and

Estimation of aboveground biomass and carbon stocks of Quercus ilex L. saplings using UAV-derived RGB imagery
By Véronique Lesage On 22 November 2023 In All published articles, Data in repository, Open Access, Research paper
Key message Crown area, sapling height, and biovolume extracted from UAV-acquired RGB images provided accurate estimates of aboveground biomass and carbon stocks in a 5-year-old holm oak (Quercus ilex L.) plantation. Our models regressing UAV-derived sapling variables

Genetic variation of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) in Eurasia: impact of postglacial recolonization and human-mediated gene transfer
By Véronique Lesage On 27 October 2023 In All published articles, Data in repository, Open Access, Research paper
Key message The range-wide level of genetic variation of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) is geographically structured. High admixture and low genetic structure of populations in Central Europe and Fennoscandia suggest past recolonization from multiple sources and

Effect of sample size on the estimation of forest inventory attributes using airborne LiDAR data in large-scale subtropical areas
By Véronique Lesage On 23 October 2023 In All published articles, Data in repository, Open Access, Research paper
Key message Sample size (number of plots) may significantly affect the accuracy of forest attribute estimations using airborne LiDAR data in large-scale subtropical areas. In general, the accuracy of all models improves with increasing sample size. However,
