Open AccessAn Outlook for Deep Learning in Ecosystem Science
Rapid advances in hardware and software, accompanied by public- and private-sector investment, have led to a new generation of data-driven computational tools. Recently, there has been a particular focus on de...

Can we manage a future with more fire? Effectiveness of defensible space treatment depends on housing amount and configuration
Fire in forested wildland urban interface (WUI) landscapes is increasing throughout the western United States. Spatial patterns of fuels treatments affect fire behavior, but it is unclear how fire risk and fue...

Open AccessNorway spruce at the trailing edge: the effect of landscape configuration and composition on climate resilience
Norway spruce (Picea abies) is one of the most widespread tree species in Europe’s forests. Due to its high economic value it has been strongly favored by management, especially at the trailing edge of its natura...

Climate change impacts on forest landscapes along the Canadian southern boreal forest transition zone
Forest landscapes at the southern boreal forest transition zone are likely to undergo great alterations due to projected changes in regional climate.

Open AccessClimate change amplifies the interactions between wind and bark beetle disturbances in forest landscapes
Growing evidence suggests that climate change could substantially alter forest disturbances. Interactions between individual disturbance agents are a major component of disturbance regimes, yet how interaction...

A disturbance-induced increase in tree species diversity facilitates forest productivity
Natural disturbances can have a considerable negative impact on the productivity of forest landscapes. Yet, disturbances are also important drivers of diversity, with diversity generally contributing positivel...

The sensitivity of current and future forest managers to climate-induced changes in ecological processes
Climate vulnerability of managed forest ecosystems is not only determined by ecological processes but also influenced by the adaptive capacity of forest managers. To better understand adaptive behaviour, we co...

Open AccessPotential stocks and increments of woody biomass in the European Union under different management and climate scenarios
Forests play an important role in the global carbon flow. They can store carbon and can also provide wood which can substitute other materials. In EU27 the standing biomass is steadily increasing. Increments a...

Multi-scale Drivers of Spatial Variation in Old-Growth Forest Carbon Density Disentangled with Lidar and an Individual-Based Landscape Model
Forest ecosystems are the most important terrestrial carbon (C) storage globally, and presently mitigate anthropogenic climate change by acting as a large and persistent sink for atmospheric CO2. Yet, forest C de...
