Impact of extreme precipitation events on summer deep seepage below temperate forests in the Northeastern Germany lowlands
By Carla Allais On 27 January 2026 In All published articles, Non classé, Open Access, Research paper
Research paper Key message Stands stocked with European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.), sessile oak (Quercus petraea (Matt.) Liebl.), and Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) show distinct deep seepage patterns. An increasing importance of extreme summer precipitation contributing to deep seepage

Tracking a decade of change: insights from long-term monitoring of an old-growth temperate rainforest on Chiloé Island, Chile
Key message Southern temperate rainforests harbor exceptional endemic biodiversity and large carbon stocks but remain underrepresented in global monitoring networks. Here, we present a dataset and standardized census protocol from a 1-ha permanent plot in an old-growth

Crown–branching trade-offs mediate growth and resilience to drought, frost, and masting under moderate thinning in European Beech (Fagus sylvatica L.)
By Carla Allais On 22 January 2026 In All published articles, Non classé, Open Access, Research paper
Key message Thinning boosts radial growth in European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.), but more is not always better: moderate thinning offers the best vitality balance by keeping resilience comparable to heavily thinned trees, while reducing the sensitivity to

Integrated modelling approaches for estimating total organic carbon, total nitrogen, total phosphorus, and ash content in forest floor samples using ATR-FTIR spectroscopy
By Carla Allais On 16 January 2026 In All published articles, Non classé, Open Access, Research paper
Key message ATR-FTIR spectroscopy combined with statistical modelling provides accurate predictions of forest floor properties: total organic carbon, total nitrogen, total phosphorus and ash. Performance decreases in carbonate-rich samples, particularly for organic carbon and the carbon to

Rapid assessment of forest area and volume impacted by the 2025 fires in Aude, France
Key message Although forest disturbances occur unpredictably, existing monitoring infrastructures can enable rapid, low-cost assessments. By combining national forest inventory data, canopy height models, and freely available satellite imagery, disturbance extent and forest attributes can be estimated

Assessing the effectiveness of protected areas and prioritizing conservation in fragmented Quercus brantii Lindl. and Q. macranthera Fisch. & C.A.Mey. ex Hohen. habitats in Iran under different climate change scenarios
By Carla Allais On 11 December 2025 In All published articles, Non classé, Open Access, Research paper
Key message We evaluated the effectiveness of protected areas under climate change scenarios for two keystone Iranian oaks: Quercus brantii in Zagros semiarid forests and Q. macranthera in Hyrcanian temperate forests. Major habitat losses and upslope shifts are projected for both

Combining wood anatomy and chemical fingerprinting maximizes tropical timber identification success
By Carla Allais On 11 December 2025 In All published articles, Non classé, Open Access, Research paper
Key message A combination approach to wood identification methods yields superior results when identifying timber originating from the Central African tropics. This is demonstrated by the performance of DART-TOFMS as a fine-tuning step after the microscopic analysis
