The Alberta Wildland Fuels Inventory Program (AWFIP): data description and reference tables
By Véronique Lesage On 22 June 2022 In All published articles, Data in repository, Data paper, Open Access
Key message This document describes a dataset obtained from a field sampling program conducted in Alberta, Canada. Field data were used to describe the structure and composition of forest stands, including several fuel loads (e.g., surface, understory,

Provenance variation and seed sourcing for sessile oak (Quercus petraea (Matt.) Liebl.) in France
By Véronique Lesage On 21 June 2022 In All published articles, Data in repository, Open Access, Research paper
Key message Sessile oak (Quercus petraea (Matt.) Liebl.) provenance variation was assessed in a multisite test based on traits of economic and ecological relevance in France. While climatic drivers generated genetic clines at a range-wide scale, provenance

Long-term and large-scale Quercus petraea population survey conducted in provenance tests installed in France
By Véronique Lesage On 21 June 2022 In All published articles, Data in repository, Data paper, Open Access
Key message Provenance tests are invaluable resources in forest genetics and ecology. They were originally established for seed sourcing research, but they are now also used for monitoring and predicting population responses to environmental changes. They have

Nitrogen deposition causes eutrophication in bryophyte communities in central and northern European forests
By Véronique Lesage On 8 June 2022 In All published articles, Data in repository, Open Access, Research paper
Key message Our results indicate that nitrogen deposition is likely to adversely affect forest bryophyte communities, having negative impacts in terms of increased dominance of nitrophilic species at the expense of N-sensitive species and a decrease in

Stand development stages and recruitment patterns influence fine-scale spatial genetic structure in two Patagonian Nothofagus species
By Véronique Lesage On 2 May 2022 In All published articles, Data in repository, Open Access, Research paper
Key message Nothofagus alpina (Poepp. et Endl.) Oerst. and Nothofagus obliqua (Mirb.) Oerst forests have strong fine-scale spatial genetic structures. The intensity of genetic structure patterns differed according to species, stand development stages, life stages, and spatial

Spruce (Picea abies L.) planting leads post-clearcut bird assemblages to a novel successional pathway—a comparative study in hemiboreal mixed forests
By Véronique Lesage On 25 April 2022 In All published articles, Data in repository, Open Access, Research paper
Key message Bird assemblages in planted spruce (Picea abies L.) forests were compositionally distinct from those in naturally regenerated mixed stands. Despite rapid stand development on productive soils, even-aged silviculture cannot host most old-forest species. However, their

Responses to defoliation of Robinia pseudoacacia L. and Sophora japonica L. are soil water condition dependent
By Véronique Lesage On 21 April 2022 In All published articles, Data in repository, Open Access, Research paper
Key message Defoliation significantly affected biomass allocation of Robinia pseudoacacia L. and Sophora japonica L., but leaf physiology readjusted to control levels at the end of the experiment. Considering carbon or sink limitation and relative height growth

Recolonization by Indigenous broadleaved species of a conifer plantation (Cupressus spp.) in Northern Iran after 25 years
By Véronique Lesage On 15 April 2022 In All published articles, Data in repository, Open Access, Research paper
Key message A vegetation analysis revealed the extent of recolonization by native vegetation of a 25-year-old Cupressus spp. plantation in northern Iran. A young indigenous Quercus-Carpinus community replaced the conifers in the low-slope areas with deeper, heavier,

Temperature and precipitation affect seasonal changes in mite communities (Acari: Mesostigmata) in decomposing litter of broadleaved and coniferous temperate tree species
By Véronique Lesage On 11 April 2022 In All published articles, Data in repository, Open Access, Research paper
Key message We identified the effect of microclimatic conditions on soil mite communities (Mesostigmata) during the decomposition of broadleaved and coniferous litter. The abundance, species richness, and diversity of mite communities decreased from spring to autumn regardless

Climate and ungulate browsing impair regeneration dynamics in spruce-fir-beech forests in the French Alps
By Véronique Lesage On 5 April 2022 In All published articles, Data in repository, Open Access, Research paper
Key message Different components of water balance and temperature reduce density and height growth of saplings of Picea abies (L.) H. Karst (Norway spruce), Abies alba Mill. (silver fir) and Fagus sylvatica L. (European beech) in mixed
