Information on terrain conditions is a prerequisite for planning environmentally and economically sustainable forest harvesting operations that avoid negat

Trees use their vascular system and emissions of BVOCs in internal communication, but emitted BVOCs have extended the communication to tree population and whole community levels and beyond. Future forestry practices should consider the importance of BVOCs in attraction and repulsion of attacking bark ...
Therefore, to promote ecologically sustainable development, it is urgent to research the state of forest ecological security and its driving factors to facilitate the formulation and implementation of differentiated policies. In recent years, scholars have carried out much research on forest ecological ...
Research Center for Eco-Environmental Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Zhongguancun Road 19, Beijing 100080, China Received 21 March 2000; accepted 25 May 2000 Abstract Carbon (C) density (carbon mass per hectare) is a critical variable in determining the extent of the effect of human acti...
It is an unexplored frontier for scientific research and education. It is also a living laboratory. Most of the world's estimated 30 million species live in the tree-tops because the canopy is also that layer of forest containing most of its productive tissue. Like gigantic stands of lollipops...
Tree-related microhabitats (hereafter, “TreMs”) are key components of forest biodiversity but they are still poorly known in North American hardwood forests. The spatial patterns of living trees bearing TreMs (hereafter, “TreM-trees”) also remain to
Based on these gaps in knowledge, future research on old-growth systems needs, above all, to integrate analyses of different ecosystem components and processes. For example, interdisciplinary investigations could better relate old-growth forest structural and compositional dynamics to their carbon storage...
Then i-Tree Eco was applied to quantify ecosystem services and ecosystem service value in each plot. Based on the ecosystem services estimates for plots, four interpolation methods were applied and compared by cross-validation. The Empirical Bayesian Kriging was determined as the best interpolation ...
Fig. 3: Response of tree species to climate change across biomes. The median absolute latitude and median elevation shift among species, fraction of lost and gained species, and change in taxonomic and phylogenetic composition under climate change were computed for each forest ecoregion. The boxplo...
