Numerous analyses of the possible impacts of future climatic changes on tree species
composition have been published for both lowland and high-elevation forests. Most of these …

The degree of general applicability across Europe currently achieved with several forest
succession models is assessed, data needs and steps for further model development are …

The changes of climate projected for the next century will most likely alter both the
environment and the growth of forests. In a regional case study, the two forest gap models …

Climate profoundly shapes forests. Forest species composition, productivity, availability of
goods and services, disturbance regimes, and location on the landscape are all regulated …

The temporal behaviour of three forest gap models built to simulate species succession in
central Europe is compared in the current as well as future climates. The first model …

Three bioclimate variables (growing degree days after budburst, temperature of the coldest
month and a moisture index) are used in a model (STASH) to predict potential range limits of …

A methodology for regional application of forest simulation models has been developed as
part of an assessment of possible climate change impacts in the Federal state of …

Mountainous forests fulfil a multitude of functions, and climatic change may have a strong
impact on many of them Modelling approaches have often been used to evaluate the …

Forest models based on the gap dynamics hypothesis (gap models) have gained an
important role in forest ecology and have grown rather complex in the last 20 yr. They have …

Increasing growing season temperatures and the seasonal redistribution of precipitation due
to climate change have recently been recorded across the globe. Simultaneously, increases …
