European forests under global climate change: Review of tree growth processes, crises and management strategies
The ongoing global climate change is challenging all sectors, forestry notwithstanding. On
the one hand, forest ecosystems are exposed to and threatened by climate change, but on …

Rewilding lite: Using traditional domestic livestock to achieve rewilding outcomes
The vision of rewilding is to return ecosystems to a “natural” or “self-willed” state with trophic
complexity, dispersal (and connectivity) and stochastic disturbance in place. The concept is …

Forest damage by deer depends on cross‐scale interactions between climate, deer density and landscape structure
Deer (Cervidae) populations are increasing across the temperate zone, threatening forest
biodiversity and ecosystem services. However, the fundamental question of what factors …

Canopy openness and exclusion of wild ungulates act synergistically to improve oak natural regeneration
The recruitment of forest trees is driven by both bottom-up processes (the acquisition of
resources) and top-down processes (herbivory). To initiate stand regeneration, foresters …
