Fine root responses to changes in nutrient availability in a mixed forest 🌳🌲

Yeste et al. share the results of their 4-year nutrient availability experiment on fine root dynamics of Scots pine and European beech.

Two figures showing the mean values for fine root biomass (FRB) for P. sylvestris (figure a, left hand side) and F. sylvatica (figure b, right handside). Standard errors are shown. Results correspond to the samples collected beside a pine in a pine area (PP), a pine in a mixed area (PM), and a beech in a mixed area (BM).

🌟 Editor's choice article:

What makes a forest growth model climate-sensitive?

Gilson et al. propose a new model classification scheme based on the statistical and silvicultural model requirements needed in a rapidly changing climate.

Out now:

Carle et al. estimate carbon stocks in tropical forests using height allometry models and within-species trait variation data. 📈🌳

Read here: doi.org/10.1093/fore...
A schematic overview of the carbon stocks study showing data sources, workflow, and how parameters (red text) were derived and utilized in subsequent models and simulations. Climate data included temperature (temp.), precipitation (precip.), and climatological water deficit (CWD).

How does individual-tree growth compare with different silvicultural systems? 📈

Using simulations, Halpin et al. investigate the link between individual-tree growth and net volume growth at the stand level under alternative silvicultural systems in northern hardwood forests. doi.org/10.1093/fore...
Figure showing stand-level net growth and stand-level growing space efficiency (sum of stem volume increments for all trees in the stand divided by sum of total crown projection areas) in relation to residual standing volume after harvest for the higher productivity site. Solid symbols represent net growth and hollow symbols represent TCA efficiency. STS, single-tree selection; STS + GS, single-tree selection with group openings included.

A synthesis on open canopy conditions from forest management on biodiversity by Larsen-Gray and colleagues. 🌲🪵

🔗 doi.org/10.1093/fore...
A two-part schematic showing an overview of open canopy pine (Pinus species), OCP conditions within a private, working forest landscape. The top section provides an overview of how OCP conditions are generally defined and maintained in a managed pine system, along with examples of wildlife taxa that respond positively to these conditions. The lower section offers a conceptual view of an example landscape, highlighting areas with OCP conditions and indicating, as examples, typical wildlife taxa found there.
