Tree growth in West African cocoa agroforestry systems: high timber yields and superior performance of natural regeneration
By Carla Allais On 2 December 2025 In All published articles, Non classé, Open Access, Research paper
Key message Cocoa agroforestry systems (AFS) in West Africa represent an underexplored yet promising source of timber. Within these systems, species can reach a 50-cm diameter as early as 14 years of age. Naturally regenerated trees grow

The diversity of radial variations of wood properties in European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) reveals the plastic nature of juvenile wood
By Carla Allais On 2 December 2025 In All published articles, Non classé, Open Access, Research paper
Key message Radial variations in wood quality result from the changes in wood properties with tree age. Here, we show that, at least in beech (Fagus sylvatica L.), these patterns of variations are diverse, and reflect a plastic

Chemical, physical, and mechanical wood properties of Rhizophora mangle L., Avicennia germinans (L.) L., and Laguncularia racemosa (L.) C.F. Gaertn. on the Brazilian Amazon coast
By Carla Allais On 1 December 2025 In All published articles, Non classé, Open Access, Research paper
Key message Wood of Laguncularia racemosa (L.) C.F. Gaertn. and Avicennia germinans (L.) L trees have similar chemical properties, while Rhizophora mangle L. is superior in physical-mechanical properties. It is highly suitable for charcoal production and civil construction. Keywords Amazonian mangroves; Anisotropy coefficient;

LiDAR-estimated height in a young Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) genetic trial supports high-accuracy early selection for height
By Carla Allais On 1 December 2025 In All published articles, Non classé, Open Access, Research paper
Key message Enhancing the efficiency and precision of breeding programs necessitates the implementation of “high-throughput” phenotyping. By employing various sensors for rapid and frequent measurements, we can gather extensive datasets crucial for conventional breeding efforts. This approach

The relationship between Nemozoma elongatum (Coleoptera: Trogossitidae) and its primary bark-beetle prey-species
By Carla Allais On 1 December 2025 In All published articles, Non classé, Open Access, Research paper
Key message Nemozoma elongatum (Linnaeus, 1761) shows a positive response to artificially produced lures targeting its two main prey species, Pityogenes chalcographus (Linnaeus, 1761) and Taphrorychus bicolor (Herbst, 1793), with a preference for P. chalcographus. We do not recommend using these lures in traps because

Climate-change mitigation strategies at the level of a forestry company in the light of age-class legacy effects
By Carla Allais On 25 November 2025 In All published articles, Non classé, Open Access, Research paper
Key message We analyzed the future carbon balance of 47,000 ha of forests dominated primarily by Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) and managed by the Szombathely Forestry Company in Hungary. Biomass, harvested wood products, and substitution effects were considered.

Rootstock effects on growth, reproduction and wood properties in hybrid larch (Larix x eurolepis Henry) and in some other Larix sp. grafting associations
By Carla Allais On 24 November 2025 In All published articles, Non classé, Open Access, Research paper
Key message When grafting is used in breeding, the choice of the rootstock should not be underestimated. Its impact on grafted individuals can be either beneficial for reducing tree size or enhancing flowering such as in seed

PDG-Arena: an ecophysiological model for characterizing tree-tree interactions in heterogeneous and mixed stands
By Carla Allais On 24 November 2025 In All published articles, Non classé, Open Access, Research paper
Key message PDG-Arena, a new individual- and process-based ecophysiological model, was developed to simulate the functioning of mixed-species forests. It was evaluated using annual growth data on beech-fir stands of the French Prealps. Keywords Process-based modeling; Mixed
