The role of European National Forest Inventories for international forestry reporting
Despite agreements on definitions, the national data provided for international reporting are lacking comparability. To address this limitation the European National Forest Inventory Network has established criteria to harmonise definitions and to provide tools to transform national

“50 years Annals of Forest Science”: An evolutionary ecology perspective to address forest pathology challenges of today and tomorrow
Increasing human impacts on forests, including unintentional movement of pathogens, climate change, and large-scale intensive plantations, are associated with an unprecedented rate of new diseases. An evolutionary ecology perspective can help address these challenges and provide direction

“50 years Annals of Forest Science”: Temperate and boreal forest tree phenology: from organ-scale processes to terrestrial ecosystem models
We demonstrate that, beyond leaf phenology, the phenological cycles of wood and fine roots present clear responses to environmental drivers in temperate and boreal trees. These drivers should be included in terrestrial ecosystem models. Abstract In temperate

“50 years Annals of Forest Science”: Fifty years of genetic studies: what to make of the large amounts of variation found within populations?
Determining the sources and role of intra-specific genetic variation is a classical focus of evolutionary biology (Mitchell-Olds et al. 2007). Ever since the beginning of population genetic studies in forest trees, the observation of high levels of
