Lack of natural control mechanisms increases wildlife–forestry conflict in managed temperate European forest systems
DPJ Kuijper - European Journal of Forest Research, 2011 - Springer
Across Europe, ungulate numbers have greatly increased over the past decades, leading to
increasing concerns about the ecological and economical impacts and pleas for stronger …

Comparing close-to-naturesilviculture with processes in pristine forests: lessons from Central Europe
The term close-to-nature silviculture already contains some ambiguity since (silvi) culture
implies the act of forest use. This notion was coined a long time ago by well-known …

Canopy gap dynamics and tree understory release in a virgin beech forest, Slovakian Carpathians
Canopy gaps play a crucial role for forest dynamics processes, as they largely determine
light transmission to lower canopy strata, thereby controlling the turnover of tree individuals …

Microclimate variation and recovery time in managed and old-growth temperate forests
Microclimate is a key driver of forest dynamics and shapes the response of forest organisms
to global warming. The spatial and temporal variability of microclimate is strongly affected by …

Canopy gaps in an old-growth fir-beech forest remnant of Western Carpathians
The old-growth forest remnants of Western Carpathians provide a unique possibility to study
the disturbance regimes of forest ecosystems without human influence. This study …

Gap pattern of the largest primeval beech forest of Europe revealed by remote sensing
Little is known about the gap pattern of primeval beech forests, since large‐scale studies
with continuous coverage are lacking. Analyses of forest structural patterns have benefitted …
