This paper focuses on individual-tree and whole-stand growth models for uneven-aged mixed-species stands in Lithuania. All the were derived using a single trivariate diffusion process defined by mixed-effect parameters stochastic differential equation describing tree diameter, potentially available area, height. The of newly developed transition probability density function estimated an approxi...

The southern pines constitute an important commercial crop, and with proper management their rapid growth insures a renewable resource for the southern United States. On upland pine sites, hardwood shrubs and trees, herbaceous plants, and woody vines all compete with the pines for sunlight, growing space, moisture, and nutrients. The loss in pine volume production that results from this competi...

Abstract Context Forest microclimate influences biodiversity and plays a crucial role in regulating forest ecosystem functions. It is modified by management as result of changes structure due to tree harvesting thinning. Objectives Here, we investigate the impacts even-aged uneven-aged on stand- landscape-level heterogeneity microclimates, comparison with unmanaged, old-growth European beech fo...

Uneven-aged management (UEAM) is becoming increasingly popular in the southeastern United States. HoweLter. effects of UEAM on wildlije habitat have not been adequately documented. We examined response ofhabi tat wi thin s tands of varying levels ofpine and hardwood basal area underan unevenaged tnanagement regime in southern Mississippi. Summer and kl,inter trends in understor? biomass were si...

Uneven-aged forest management has received increasing attention in the past few years. Compared with even-aged plantations, the complex structure of uneven-aged forests complicates the formulation of management strategies. Forest structural diversity is expected to provide considerable significant information for uneven-aged forest management planning. In the present study, we investigated the ...

The aim of this study was to identify changes in the concentrations elements fir assimilation organs over past 30 years order assess reactions as a bioindicator functioning Central European forest ecosystems under conditions reduced anthropogenic emissions. In particular, we selected example Świętokrzyskie Mountains (Świętokrzyski National Park located northern range Abies alba Mill.). research...

Continuous cover forestry maintains many characteristics of uneven-aged natural forests and aims to preserve biodiversity. Gap-cutting is a management option that may create balance between timber production continuous forest cover. We investigated the effect newly created gaps on ground-dwelling spider assemblages in managed oak forest, Pilis Mts., Hungary. Between 2018–2021 we sampled elongat...

Abstract Norway spruce (Picea abies Karst. (L.)) in the boreal zone can be managed as even-aged or uneven-aged stands, grown with no management at all. Here, we investigated how these options affect carbon dynamics, particularly stocks forest ecosystem (trees and soil), albedo, their combined effect on radiative forcing compared to a reference case, clear-cut site before planting seedlings.
