Effect of logging residue removal and mechanical site preparation on productivity of the subsequent Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) stands
By Véronique Lesage On 31 January 2023 In All published articles, Data in repository, Open Access, Research paper
Key message Removal of logging residue negatively affected tree diameter and height, but had no significant effect on the basal area of the subsequent stand (in the mid-term). On the other hand, different methods of mechanical site

Black spruce (Picea mariana) seed availability and viability in boreal forests after large wildfires
By Véronique Lesage On 30 January 2023 In All published articles, Data in repository, Open Access, Research paper
Key message Black spruce (Picea mariana (Mill.) B.S.P.) has historically self-replaced following wildfire, but recent evidence suggests that this is changing. One factor could be negative impacts of intensifying fire activity on black spruce seed rain. We

Linking structure and species richness to support forest biodiversity monitoring at large scales
By Véronique Lesage On 23 January 2023 In All published articles, Data in repository, Open Access, Research paper
Key message Authors have analyzed the possible correlation between measurements/indicators of forest structure and species richness of many taxonomic or functional groups over three regions of Germany. Results show the potential to use structural attributes as a

Inheritance of wood properties and their radial variations in full-sib families of 36-year-old Japanese larch (Larix kaempferi (Lamb.) Carr.)
By Véronique Lesage On 9 January 2023 In All published articles, Data in repository, Open Access, Research paper
Key message Larger differences of maximum load among families were found in mature wood compared to juvenile wood, suggesting the possibility of improving mature wood with higher resistance to rupture and maintaining characteristics of material in Larix

Dendrometric data from the silvicultural scenarios developed by Office National des Forêts (ONF) in France: a tool for applied research and carbon storage estimates
By Véronique Lesage On 9 January 2023 In All published articles, Data in repository, Data paper, Open Access
Key message We provide a database of 52 silvicultural scenarios recommended in French public forests including relevant dendrometric variables and metrics for carbon accounting. The dataset is available at https://doi.org/10.57745/QARRFS. Associated metadata are available at https://metadata-afs.nancy.inra.fr/geonetwork/srv/fre/catalog.search#/metadata/f76ed27f-325d-493b-8731-0995dcaa7805. Special

Interpolated daily temperature and precipitation data for Level II ICP Forests plots in Germany
By Véronique Lesage On 6 January 2023 In All published articles, Data in repository, Data paper, Open Access
Key message A harmonized, comprehensive meteorological time series for 78 German intensive forest monitoring plots (Level II) has been made available from 1961 to 2019. The used hybrid spatial interpolation routine using simple linear regression and inverse

Traceability and quality assessment of Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) logs: the TreeTrace_Douglas database
By Véronique Lesage On 29 November 2022 In All published articles, Data in repository, Data paper, Open Access
Key message The TreeTrace_Douglas database includes images and measurements at several stages of the processing of Douglas fir logs, from sawmill logyard to machine grading and destructive testing of boards, and is suitable for research on quality

Pinus pinea: a natural barrier for the insect vector of the pine wood nematode?
By Véronique Lesage On 19 October 2022 In All published articles, Data in repository, Open Access, Research paper
Key message In mixed stands of Pinus pinaster and Pinus pinea, fewer insect vectors of the pinewood nematode (PWN) were captured than in pure P. pinaster stands. This finding has practical implications for PWN disease management, including

Identification and spatial extent of understory plant species requiring vegetation control to ensure tree regeneration in French forests
By Véronique Lesage On 22 September 2022 In All published articles, Data in repository, Open Access, Research paper
Key message Fifteen species are most susceptible to require vegetation control during tree regeneration in the range of our study. Among these 15 species, Rubus fruticosus, Pteridium aquilinum, and Molinia caerulea cover each more than 300,000 ha

Classification of forest fuels in selected fire-prone ecosystems of Alberta, Canada—implications for crown fire behaviour prediction and fuel management
By Véronique Lesage On 12 September 2022 In All published articles, Data in repository, Open Access, Research paper
Key message We used clustering to construct fuel classes from fuel inventory data based on three stand attributes relevant to crown fire behaviour: surface fuel load (SFL), canopy base height (CBH) and canopy bulk density (CBD). Resulting
