Trunk perimeter correlates with genetic bottleneck intensity and the level of genetic diversity in populations of Taxus baccata L
By Véronique Lesage On 29 July 2021 In All published articles, Data in repository, Open Access, Research paper
Key message Taxus baccata remnants established recently tend to contribute less to the species’ overall genetic variation than historical populations because they are subjected to a greater impact of the founder effect and genetic isolation. As tree

SurEau: a mechanistic model of plant water relations under extreme drought
By Véronique Lesage On 15 June 2021 In All published articles, Data in repository, Open Access, Research paper
Key message A new process-based model, SurEau , is described. It predicts the risk of xylem hydraulic failure under drought. Abstract Context The increase in drought intensity due to climate change will accentuate the risk of tree

Timber volume estimation based on airborne laser scanning — comparing the use of national forest inventory and forest management inventory data
Key message Large-scale forest resource maps based on national forest inventory (NFI) data and airborne laser scanning may facilitate synergies between NFIs and forest management inventories (FMIs). A comparison of models used in such a NFI-based map

The relationship between plant growth and water consumption: a history from the classical four elements to modern stable isotopes
Key message The history of the relationship between plant growth and water consumption is retraced by following the progression of scientific thought through the centuries: from a purely philosophical question, to conceptual and methodological developments, towards a

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
