Mixed-species forest stands are well explored in their favourable ecological, economical,
and socio-economical functions and services compared with pure stands, but still poorly …

Wind is a natural disturbance factor in boreal and temperate forests having large ecological
and economic consequences. We investigated recovery processes in forests severely …

Envelope tests are a popular tool in spatial statistics, where they are used in goodness-of-fit
testing. These tests graphically compare an empirical function T (r) with its simulated …

Local neighbourhood interactions are considered a main driver for biodiversity–productivity
relationships in forests. Yet, the structural responses of individual trees in species mixtures …

Individual tree growth is controlled by numerous factors, but intertree competition is of
special importance as it is the only parameter that can be managed by silvicultural …

The question how tree species allometry in mixed stands differs from pure stands is
approached by analyzing how crown morphology of European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) …

Competition with neighboring trees of different species can affect crown size and shape.
However, whether intra-specific differences in crown characteristics in mixed stands …

Shade-tolerant, fire-intolerant tree species are expanding in historically oak-dominated
landscapes in the central and eastern US Once established, these species are hypothesized …

Characterizing tree crown structure and quantifying its relationships with the surrounding
environment is of critical importance in forest ecology and management. These relationships …

The objective of the study was to analyse to which extent horizontal crown plasticity reduces
inter-tree competition at stand scale, and how it relates to species growth strategy. Two …
