Covariation between tree size and shade tolerance modulates mixed-forest productivity
By Erwin Dreyer On 30 November 2018 In All published articles, Research paper, Special issue/Topical collection
In tree communities, tree size inequality reduces productivity and interacts with tree shade tolerance to modulate stand productivity, with a higher productivity in stands where shade-intolerant species dominate shade-tolerant species in size. Abstract Positive diversity–productivity relationships have

Future management options for cembran pine forests close to the alpine timberline
By AFS On 17 August 2018 In All published articles, Data in repository, Open Access, Research paper, Special issue/Topical collection
Topical collection: Forest Adaptation and Restoration under Global Change High-elevation forests in the Alps protect infrastructure and human lives against natural hazards such as rockfall, flooding, and avalanches. Routinely performed silvicultural interventions maintain the required stand structure

Plastic response of four maritime pine (Pinus pinaster Aiton) families to controlled soil water deficit
Topical collection: Mediterranean Pines Separating the internal (ontogenetic) and external (environmental) components of maritime pine development during controlled soil water deficit helps to highlight the plastic response. The adjusted measurements reveal significant differences between families for their
