Insights into fruit tree models relevant to simulate fruit tree-based agroforestry systems
Agroforestry, the integration of trees, crops, and animals, is expected to increase environmental sustainability of fruit production compared to...

No evidence that coring affects tree growth or mortality in three common European temperate forest tree species
Tree cores are a highly valuable scientific resource. Annual growth ring data can, for example, improve our understanding of climate change impacts...

Tree-distance and tree-species effects on soil biota in a temperate agroforestry system
AimsCropland agroforestry systems are land-use systems with numerous environmental advantages over monoculture croplands including promotion of soil...

Tree mycorrhizal types and the interaction between tree and shrub species richness shape soil fungal communities in a subtropical forest in China
PurposeElucidating the interactions of above- and below-ground communities in forest ecosystems is of great importance for comprehending biodiversity...

Impact of tree pruning on water use in tree-coffee systems on smallholder farms in Eastern Uganda
Tree pruning is an important tree management option for reducing shading effects and altering whole-tree water use in smallholder farming systems. In...

Stable Isotopes in Tree Rings Inferring Physiological, Climatic and Environmental Responses
This Open Access volume highlights how tree ring stable isotopes have been used to address a range of environmental issues from paleoclimatology to...
-
Develo** nonlinear additive tree crown width models based on decomposed competition index and tree variables
Crown development is closely related to the biomass and growth rate of the tree and its width (CW) is an important covariable in growth and yield...

Traditional Farmlands for Tree Species Conservation in Benin
Demographic pressure and human activities are having significant impacts on biodiversity conservation. As traditional farmlands have challenges of...

Tree species richness and arbuscular mycorrhizal tree fraction of leaf litter increase carbon and nitrogen retention in soil with macroaggregate and glomalin accrual
BackgroundBiodiversity loss may impact essential ecological functions. How litter diversity affects soil carbon and nitrogen cycles in temperate...

Map** density, diversity and species-richness of the Amazon tree flora
Using 2.046 botanically-inventoried tree plots across the largest tropical forest on Earth, we mapped tree species-diversity and tree...

Effects of thinning and tree enrichment on carbon stocks and tree species diversity in a secondary semi-evergreen tropical forest in Yucatan Peninsula
Management of secondary forest can contribute to climate change mitigation through carbon storage. In the Yucatan Peninsula, forest owners practise...

Tree growth rate under urban limiting conditions
The benefits of green areas mostly depend on the trees’ dimension, which in the urban environment is not as predictable as it is in woodland. Growth...

A climate-induced tree species bottleneck for forest management in Europe
Large pulses of tree mortality have ushered in a major reorganization of Europe’s forest ecosystems. To initiate a robust next generation of trees,...

One sixth of Amazonian tree diversity is dependent on river floodplains
Amazonia’s floodplain system is the largest and most biodiverse on Earth. Although forests are crucial to the ecological integrity of floodplains,...
-
Tree phytochemical diversity and herbivory are higher in the tropics
A long-standing but poorly tested hypothesis in plant ecology and evolution is that biotic interactions play a more important role in producing and...

Quantifying the influence of tree species richness on community drought resistance using drone-derived NDVI and ground-based measures of Plant Area Index and leaf chlorophyll in a young tree diversity experiment
Tree diversity may buffer the negative impact of drought events according to the diversity insurance hypothesis. During the extreme pan-European...

Tree Species Diversity Affects Litter Decomposition via Modification of the Microenvironment
Decomposition is a key determinant of forest functioning, controlling nutrient and carbon cycling. Although litter-mixing effects on decomposition...

Tree isolation enhances seed dispersal behavior by scatter-hoarding rodents
Human activities cause changes in the structure of landscapes that may impact negatively on wildlife at different levels. Agriculture and livestock,...

Plant invasion drives liana and tree community assemblages and liana-tree network structure in two moist semi-deciduous forests in Ghana
Invasive plants are one of the greatest threats leading to biodiversity loss and species extinction worldwide. Understanding the responses of liana...
