The renewal and sustainability of the forest stands are attained through regeneration. There
are three basic methods to regenerate high forest stands: natural regeneration, direct …

Developing better practices for rodent pest control is of high importance to reduce damage
during forest restoration and in crop production. For example, during direct seeding with …

In temperate Europe, oak-dominated forests are widespread, supporting high biodiversity
and providing important ecosystem services. Insufficient natural regeneration has, however …

Planted woodland islets can provide seeds for restoring forest ecosystems in Mediterranean
old fields lacking seed sources, but other factors than seed arrival can also hinder the …

Climate change constitutes a major threat to global biodiversity and to the success of natural
and assisted tree regeneration. Oaks are among the most emblematic tree species in the …

Background Direct seeding is potentially a more cost-effective alternative to conventional
tree planting for restoring tropical forest ecosystems. However, seed loss, due to removal …

BACKGROUND Arvicolinae rodents are known pests causing damage to both agricultural
and forest crops. Today, rodenticides for rodent control are widely discouraged owing to …

Cloud forest degradation leads to the loss of foundational species, including oak trees, with
negative and cascading effects on biodiversity. The relatively simple and inexpensive …

Invasive shrubs dramatically reduce the biodiversity of native plants, making invaded areas
important targets of conservation and restoration. Adding seeds of native plant species, in …

Global change has created less stable forest systems and given urgency to understanding
limitations to the establishment of tree seedlings beyond current range boundaries. We …
