Diversity and composition of moss guilds on uprooted trees in Central European mountain forests: effects of uprooting components and environmental variables
By Véronique Lesage On 23 April 2021 In All published articles, Data in repository, Open Access, Research paper
Key message The size of the structural components of the root–pit–mound complex was crucial for high moss species richness. Root plates, pits, and mounds were similar in terms of moss species composition, which was mostly determined by

Characterization of mixed and monospecific stands of Scots pine and Maritime pine: soil profile, physiography, climate and vegetation cover data
By Véronique Lesage On 26 March 2021 In All published articles, Data in repository, Data paper, Open Access
Key message This document provides valuable environmental information about a triplets’ essay of Scots pine and Maritime pine in Spain. The dataset characterizes the soil profile (physicochemical parameters of organic and mineral horizons), climate, physiography, understory and

Provisioning forest and conservation science with high-resolution maps of potential distribution of major European tree species under climate change
By Véronique Lesage On 24 March 2021 In All published articles, Data in repository, Data paper, Open Access
Key message We developed a dataset of the potential distribution of seven ecologically and economically important tree species of Europe in terms of their climatic suitability with an ensemble approach while accounting for uncertainty due to model

Number and height of unbrowsed saplings are more appropriate than the proportion of browsed saplings for predicting silvicultural regeneration success
By Véronique Lesage On 1 March 2021 In All published articles, Data in repository, Open Access, Research paper
Key message The browsing level of oak (Quercus petraea and Quercus robur) and fir (Abies alba) provided only a rough estimate of the expected regeneration success. Thus, it cannot be recommended as a standard measurement to predict

How do invasive trees impact shrub layer diversity and productivity in temperate forests?
By Véronique Lesage On 1 March 2021 In All published articles, Data in repository, Open Access, Research paper
Key message Invasive tree species alter taxonomic diversity and functioning of forest shrub layers: Prunus serotina increases shrub layer biomass two to three times but decreases its biodiversity, Robinia pseudoacacia slightly increases shrub layer biomass and has

Effects of errors in basal area and mean diameter on the optimality of forest management prescriptions
Key message Errors in forest stand attributes can lead to sub-optimal management prescriptions concerning the set management objectives. When the objective is net present value, errors in mean diameter result in greater losses than similar errors in

Gene flow and reproductive success in ash (Fraxinus excelsior L.) in the face of ash dieback: restoration and conservation
By Véronique Lesage On 10 February 2021 In All published articles, Data in repository, Open Access, Research paper
Key message Ash dieback decreases individual reproductive success of ash trees leaving healthy ash overrepresented as seed and pollen parents for next-generation seedlings. Substantial gene flow over hundreds of meters combined with superior fertility of healthy trees
