Abstract Purpose of Review Forest models are becoming essential tools in forest research,
management, and policymaking but currently are under deep transformation. In this review …

Mediterranean pine plantations provide several ecosystem services but are vulnerable to
climate change. Forest management might play a strategic role in the adaptation of …

Regional-level applications of dynamic vegetation models are challenging because they
need to accommodate the variation in plant functional diversity, which requires moving away …

Protection from gravitational natural hazards such as snow avalanches and rockfall is
among the most important ecosystem services provided by forests in steep mountain terrain …

Process-based forest growth models with spatially explicit representation are relevant tools
to investigate innovative silviculture practices and/or climate change effects because they …

Describing the heterogeneous structure of forests is often challenging. One possibility is to
analyze forest biomass in different plots and to derive plot-based frequency distributions …

Mediterranean pine plantations provide several ecosystem services but are particularly
sensitive to climate change. Forest management practices might play a strategic role in the …

Natural disturbances have an important influence on the structure, composition and
functioning of tropical forests and a role in the regulation of biogeochemical cycles. The …
