Replacing coniferous monocultures with mixed-species production stands: an assessment of the potential benefits for forest biodiversity in northern Europe
Conifer dominated plantations in central and northern Europe are associated with relatively
low ecological values, and in some cases, may be vulnerable to disturbances caused by …

Maximum air temperature controlled by landscape topography affects plant species composition in temperate forests
Context Forest microclimates differ from regional macroclimates because forest canopies
affect energy fluxes near the ground. However, little is known about the environmental …
