      Mixed-species stands have been found to be more productive than would be expected from the performance of their component species in monocultures due to facilitation and complementarity between species, although these ...
    • Sectoral policies as drivers of forest management and ecosystems services: A case study in Bavaria, Germany 

      Caicoya, Astor Toraño; Poschenrieder, Werner; Blattert, Clemens; Eyvindson, Kyle; Hartikainen, Markus; Burgas, Daniel; Mönkkönen, Mikko; Uhl, Enno; Vergarechea, Marta; Pretzsch, Hans (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023-04-07)
      European countries have national sectoral polices to regulate and promote the provision of a wide range of forest ecosystems services (FES). However, potential incoherencies among these policies can negatively affect the ...
    • Species stratification and weather conditions drive tree growth in Scots pine and Norway spruce mixed stands along Europe 

      Aldea, Jorge; Ruiz-Peinado, Ricardo; del Río, Miren; Pretzsch, Hans; Heym, Michael; Brazaitis, Gediminas; Jansons, Aris; Metslaid, Marek; Barbeito, Ignacio; Bielak, Kamil; Granhus, Aksel; Holm, Stig-Olof; Nothdurft, Arne; Sitko, Roman; Löf, Magnus (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-11-01)
      Mixed forests are suggested as a strategic adaptation of forest management to climate change. Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) and Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) are tree species of high economic and ecological ...
    • Timing and duration of drought modulate tree growth response in pure and mixed stands of Scots pine and Norway spruce 

      Aldea, Jorge; Ruiz-Peinado, Ricardo; del Río, Miren; Pretzsch, Hans; Heym, Michael; Brazaitis, Gediminas; Jansons, Aris; Metslaid, Marek; Barbeito, Ignacio; Bielak, Kamil; Hylen, Gro; Holm, Stig-Olof; Nothdurft, Arne; Sitko, Roman; Löf, Magnus (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-08-08)
      1. Climate change is increasing the severity and frequency of droughts around the globe, leading to tree mortality that reduces production and provision of other ecosystem services. Recent studies show that growth of mixed ...
    • With increasing site quality asymmetric competition and mortality reduces Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) stand structuring across Europe
