Choosing the best seeds to help sessile oaks (Quercus petreae Matt. Liebl.) adapt to future climates
PRESS RELEASE – Forest planting may contribute to mitigate climate change. The origin of seeds is crucial to optimise the success of tree planting and the adaptation of forests to future climates. INRAE and ONF (French Forest

Highlighted paper of 2019 : C. Ziegler et al., “Large hydraulic safety margins protect Neotropical canopy rainforest tree species against hydraulic failure during drought”
By Erwin Dreyer On 16 February 2020 In All published articles, Editor's choice, Editorial board informations, Editorial news
C. Ziegler et al., “Large hydraulic safety margins protect Neotropical canopy rainforest tree species against hydraulic failure during drought” Tropical rainforests are under the thread of more frequent drought episodes, that may in places induce tree dieback.

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

Opportunities and challenges for an Indonesian forest monitoring network
Permanent sampling plots (PSPs) are a powerful and reliable methodology to help our understanding of the diversity and dynamics of tropical forests. Based on the current inventory of PSPs in Indonesia, there is high potential to establish

Implementing forest landscape restoration under the Bonn Challenge: a systematic approach
By Isabelle Fabrissin On 10 May 2019 In All published articles, Editor's choice, Opinion paper, Special issue/Topical collection
There is no one-size-fits-all way to successfully implement forest landscape restoration (FLR). Complex socio-ecological systems present challenges and opportunities that can best be met with a systematic framework for designing, planning, steering, and monitoring FLR projects to

On the need to consider wood formation processes in global vegetation models and a suggested approach
By Isabelle Fabrissin On 9 May 2019 In All published articles, Editor's choice, Open Access, Opinion paper, Special issue/Topical collection
Dynamic global vegetation models are key tools for interpreting and forecasting the responses of terrestrial ecosystems to climatic variation and other drivers. They estimate plant growth as the outcome of the supply of carbon through photosynthesis. However,

Forest adaptation to climate change—is non-management an option?
By Isabelle Fabrissin On 7 May 2019 In All published articles, Editor's choice, Open Access, Opinion paper, Special issue/Topical collection
Climate change is posing a considerable challenge to foresters. The intensity of required adaptive measures and the relevance of old-growth forests as benchmark for managed forests are debated. Forest managers need to make decisions on stand treatment

The recurrent evolution of extremely resistant xylem
Highly resistant xylem has evolved multiple times over the past 400 million years. Scott A M MacAdam & Amanda A Cardoso Water is transported under tension in xylem and consequently is vulnerable to invasion by air and

A SPATIAL DATASET OF FOREST MENSURATION COLLECTED IN BLACK PINE PLANTATIONS IN CENTRAL ITALY
The dataset provides an exhaustive tree inventory with forest mensuration and spatial location carried out in 54 plots sampled in 45- to 55-year-old black pine plantations, located in two areas of Tuscany (central Italy). Forest mensuration includes
