In stemflow, rainfall is collected and channeled to a concentrated soil water input. It can constitute up 30% of incident precipitation in some ecosystems. However, the size zone influenced by stemflow unclear, statistically representative measurement (on between sites) scarce. Therefore, whether creates hotspots infiltration potential impacts on forest soils remain subject controversy. this st...

A prediction model was developed for the wildfire fuel load of Korean red pine (Pinus densiflora) stands with susceptibility to forest fire based on forest-growth model. Furthermore, a time-series analysis performed variation in forest-fire according management. National Forest Inventory stand data 1434 plots P. densiflora were used, and final using Weibull function mortality The fit index diam...

Abstract Boreal forest ecosystems are predicted to experience more frequent summer droughts due climate change, posing a threat future health and carbon sequestration. Forestry is regionally dominant land use where the managed secondary forests typically even-aged with low structural tree species diversity. It not well known if unmanaged primary respond drought differently in part because locat...

Recent studies have emphasized forests as crucial habitat for wild bees. In Europe, most are managed following the principles of close-to-nature silviculture, which combine timber production and nature conservation. However, open late early successional stages within these largely missing, could be important This highlights that silviculture alone might not sufficient to conserve bees temperate...

Many studies of roost selection by forest-dwelling bats have concentrated on microhabitat surrounding roosts without providing forest standlevel preferences of bats; thus, those studies have provided only part of the information needed by managers. We evaluated diurnal summer roost selection by the bat community at the forest-stand level in a diversely forested landscape in the Ouachita Mountai...

Forest management not only affects biodiversity but also might alter ecosystem processes mediated by the organisms, i.e. herbivory the removal of plant biomass by plant-eating insects and other arthropod groups. Aiming at revealing general relationships between forest management and herbivory we investigated aboveground arthropod herbivory in 105 plots dominated by European beech in three diffe...
