Forest ecology and management

The paper examines how crown-based growth strategies influence tree functional group distribution and co-occurrence across environmental gradients.

The paper quantifies canopy height change across U.S. ecoregions, finding demographic shifts drive height changes while allometric shifts show mixed effects, with implications for the hydraulic limitation hypothesis.

The paper shows that long-term liana infestation reduces tree height and crown size, indicating lasting architectural changes rather than pre-existing susceptibility.

The paper improves pan-tropical biomass estimation models by incorporating contextual data and provides a method to assess error when applying models to new conditions.

The paper introduces a simplified hyperbolic equation to model non-linear tree growth responses to environmental factors, identifies threshold effects in forest species, and provides implementation code.

The paper assesses carbon sequestration and biodiversity in a restored tropical dry evergreen forest in India, finding native species can achieve comparable carbon storage to non-natives while maintaining ecological integrity.

The paper assesses the impact of internal stem decay on carbon stocks in fire-prone Pinus ponderosa forests and finds minimal biomass loss, supporting reliable allometric biomass estimates.

The paper examines how tree diversity and ectomycorrhizal dominance influence biomass and surface area allocation in a mixed deciduous forest, finding that ECM dominance has a stronger effect than diversity.

This study models potential aboveground biomass in the Caatinga, finding it highly sensitive to water availability and topography, with high biomass in rugged terrains and under specific precipitation thresholds.

The paper creates a high-resolution global map of wood density using species and vegetation data, showing improved accuracy and a wider density range than previous estimates.

The paper analyzes birch age distribution in Norway using tree ring data to show how site productivity, management practices, and environmental factors influence growth and age-class patterns.

The paper models size-density trajectories and individual tree mortality in mixed beech and hornbeam regenerations using mixed-effects and logit functions, revealing similar mortality factors for both species.

This study quantifies biomass allocation and root-to-shoot ratios in trees grown in mono- and heterospecific neighbourhoods, finding higher RSR in mixtures and stronger aboveground investment over time.

This study uses allometric scaling to analyze the morphological development of Fagus crenata saplings, showing increased aboveground biomass relative to surface area and biomass, with prostrate stems playing a key role in belowground growth.

This study analyzes global forest data to show how tree species richness and evenness affect biomass differently across biogeographic regions.

The paper introduces new tree parameters for quantitative structure models (QSMs) and improves volume prediction by comparing against existing models and allometric theory.
