The utility of terrestrial photogrammetry for assessment of tree volume and taper in boreal mixedwood forests
By Isabelle Fabrissin On 13 August 2019 In All published articles, Data in repository, Open Access, Research paper, Special issue/Topical collection
This study showed that digital terrestrial photogrammetry is able to produce accurate estimates of stem volume and diameter across a range of species and tree sizes that showed strong correspondence when compared with traditional inventory techniques. This

The conifer-curve: fast prediction of hydraulic conductivity loss and vulnerability to cavitation
By Isabelle Fabrissin On 12 August 2019 In All published articles, Open Access, Research paper, Special issue/Topical collection
The relationship between relative water loss (RWL) and hydraulic conductivity loss (PLC) in sapwood is robust across conifer species. We provide an empirical model (conifer-curve) for predicting PLC from simple RWL measurements. The approach is regarded as

Harmonised projections of future forest resources in Europe
By Isabelle Fabrissin On 7 August 2019 In All published articles, Data in repository, Data paper, Open Access, Special issue/Topical collection
A dataset of forest resource projections in 23 European countries to 2040 has been prepared for forest-related policy analysis and decision-making. Due to applying harmonised definitions, while maintaining country-specific forestry practices, the projections should be usable from

Geographic variation of tree height of three pine species (Pinus nigra Arn., P. pinaster Aiton, and P. pinea L.) gathered from common gardens in Europe and North-Africa
By Isabelle Fabrissin On 2 August 2019 In All published articles, Data in repository, Data paper, Special issue/Topical collection
This datapaper collects individual georeferenced tree height data from Pinus nigra Arn., P. pinaster Aiton, and P. pinea L. planted in common gardens in France, Germany, Morocco, and Spain. The data can be used to assess genetic

Xylogenesis of Pinus radiata D. Don growing in New Zealand
By Isabelle Fabrissin On 25 July 2019 In All published articles, Research paper, Special issue/Topical collection
Pinus radiata D. Don growing in the central North Island of New Zealand did not show full winter cambial dormancy. While there was a brief cessation of cambial cell division during June (winter), cell wall thickening, secondary

Quantifying intra-annual dynamics of carbon sequestration in the forming wood: a novel histologic approach
By Isabelle Fabrissin On 20 June 2019 In All published articles, Data in repository, Research paper, Special issue/Topical collection
This study presents a novel histologic approach to quantify the intra-annual dynamics of carbon sequestration in forming wood. This innovative approach, based on repeated measurements of xylem apparent density, is more direct, and more accurate than the

Hardwood injury and mortality associated with two shot hole borers, Euwallacea spp., in the invaded region of southern California, USA, and the native region of Southeast Asia
By Isabelle Fabrissin On 19 June 2019 In All published articles, Research paper, Special issue/Topical collection
We assessed the impact of the polyphagous shot hole borer (PSHB), Euwallacea whitfordiodendrus (Schedl), and Kuroshio shot hole borer (KSHB), E. kuroshio Gomez and Hulcr, on hardwood trees in southern California, southwestern China, and northwestern Vietnam. The

Combining low-density LiDAR and satellite images to discriminate species in mixed Mediterranean forest
By Isabelle Fabrissin On 23 May 2019 In All published articles, Data in repository, Research paper, Special issue/Topical collection
Using a combination of remote sensing data, Pinus pinaster Ait. and Pinus pinea L. were distinguished at individual tree level in mixed Mediterranean stands with over 95% accuracy. This approach is easily applicable over large areas, enhancing
