We review the main silvicultural interventions used when managing Eucalyptus plantations
for solid-wood products, including fertilising, pruning and thinning. The growth of a …

At a local scale, forest trees and stands have a marked influence on climate; thus it is
possible to define microclimates. These effects depend on local climatic characteristics and …

Abstract The southeastern United States is among the most productive forested areas in the
world. Four endemic southern pine species–loblolly, longleaf, shortleaf, and slash …

I have attempted to reach a wide range of readers, from those with no formal forestry
education through to forest scientists involved in research. This has meant dealing with …

Soil respiration is controlled by soil temperature, soil water, fine roots, microbial activity, and
soil physical and chemical properties. Forest thinning changes soil temperature, soil water …

A comprehensive forest growth model (CenW) is described here. The model links the flows
of carbon, energy, nutrients and water in trees and soil organic matter. Modelled tree growth …

Interactions between thinning, pruning and fertiliser application in forestry are rarely
examined, even though these treatments are often applied simultaneously in practice …

We compared foliar physiology and several measures of tree resistance to insect attack
among ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa var. scopulorum Engelm.) trees growing in …

A thinning experiment has been conducted since 1971 on two 22-year-old stands of Norway
spruce in the Belgian Ardenne. The stands have strongly contrasting water availability. In …

Forest edges are interfaces between forest interiors and adjacent land cover types. They are
important elements in the landscape with almost 20% of the global forest area located within …
