Brazil nut tree increases photosynthetic activity and stem diameter growth after thinning
Bertholletia excelsa Bonpl. is widely planted in the Amazon and information about thinning effects is poorly documented. Here, we investigate...

Structural diversity and carbon stock of forest stands: tradeoff as modified by silvicultural thinning
In forest management, merging stand structural diversity with carbon storage is essential for resilience and climate mitigation. This study assesses...

Response of underplanted European beech to shelterwood thinning at the northeasternmost forpost plantation in Europe
The projected northwards shift in the distribution suggests an expansion of European beech ( Fagus sylvatica L.) into the Baltics and an increase of...

Long-term thinning decreases the contribution of heterotrophic respiration to soil respiration in subalpine plantations
Interest in the dynamics of soil respiration ( R s ) in subalpine forest ecosystems is increasing due to their high soil carbon density and potential...

Instance segmentation of partially occluded Medjool-date fruit bunches for robotic thinning
Medjool date thinning automation is essential for reducing Medjool production labor and improving fruit quality. Thinning automation requires motion...
-
Forest thinning alleviates the negative effects of precipitation reduction on soil microbial diversity and multifunctionality
Thinning is an important forest management practice to mitigate the adverse effects of increased drought on tree growth and productivity. However,...

Distinct spatiotemporal patterns of cortical thinning in Alzheimer’s disease-type cognitive impairment and subcortical vascular cognitive impairment
Previous studies on Alzheimer’s disease-type cognitive impairment (ADCI) and subcortical vascular cognitive impairment (SVCI) has rarely explored...
-
Spatial optimization of genetic thinning in seed orchards
Key messageWe provide a mathematical model to determine which trees should be ruled out from the grid to promote random mating in seed orchards under...
-
Thinning intensity affects carbon sequestration and release in seasonal freeze–thaw areas
To explore how to respond to seasonal freeze–thaw cycles on forest ecosystems in the context of climate change through thinning, we assessed the...

Seasonal coordination of aboveground vegetative and reproductive growth and storage in apple trees subjected to defoliation, flower and fruit thinning
Key messageThe growth rates of current-year shoots, fruits and trunks in apple trees peak sequentially during the growing season. The period of most...

Effect of Deficit Irrigation and Hand Thinning on Post-harvest Quality of Apple Cv. ‘Golab’
The concern regarding the increasing world population and climate change in recent years has caused water shortage to be an important limiting factor...

Effects of thinning and understorey removal on soil extracellular enzyme activity vary over time during forest recovery after treatment
Background and aimsSoil extracellular enzyme activities (EEAs) and extracellular enzymatic stoichiometry (EES) play an important role in soil...
-
Soil microbial community is resilient to thinning disturbance
To engage sustainable forest management, understanding the impact of disturbances on the stability of soil microorganisms is important. This study...
-
Heavy thinning temporally reduced soil carbon storage by intensifying soil microbial phosphorus limitation
PurposeThe decomposition of soil organic matter depends strongly on microbial metabolism, which presents one of the greatest uncertainties in...
-
Effect of thinning with metamitron, NAA, BA and naphthenic acids on apple (Malus domestica) trees
The successful use of chemical thinners on apples requires programs employing multiple chemistries over the thinning period. A thinning program can...
