The increasing dominance of American beech regeneration (Fagus grandifolia Ehrh.) to the
expense of sugar maple (Acer saccharum Marsh.) challenges the long-term economic …

Forest harvesting can impact site quality by removing essential nutrients, exacerbating the
effects of historic base cation losses associated with acid deposition. We studied the 30-year …

Individual tree recruitment is an important element needed to understand stand dynamics,
as it influences both stand composition and productivity. Forest growth simulators usually …

Abstract American beech (Fagus grandifolia Ehrh) in the understory of tolerant hardwood
stands is a major obstacle to improving the quality of forest regeneration in the northeastern …

Sugar maple (SM, Acer saccharum Marsh.) dominated forests of North America are
increasingly affected by many human-induced modifications in environmental conditions. As …

In most mixed-species forestry systems, regeneration is a critical step for individual tree
survival and species coexistence. Species coexistence is driven by the fine-scale spatial …

Clear-cutting is used by foresters worldwide to harvest timber from forest ecosystems. Clear-
cutting of cool–wet boreal forests in late successional stages can maintain successional …

The northern hardwoods forest ecosystem of eastern North America provides a wealth of
products and services to human society. These forests have been managed under partial …

Key message Flower to fruits× and seed-to-seedling were the most critical transition in the
early regeneration cycle of pure and mixed Nothofagus forests, both in coastal and mountain …

Mingling indices describe whether an individual tree is more likely to grow near others of the
same or different species. We examined whether changes in land use associated with …
