This study reveals patterns of yield and survival of short-rotation coppice (SRC) willow cultivars over eight rotations (1993–2019). Cultivars fell into four broad categories: commercial, released, stable, and decline. SV1, the singular cultiva...

Moso bamboo, which is essential to China’s economy, is currently facing significant threats due to declining profits. Inadequate management of moso bamboo can negatively impact the surrounding ecosystems. This study investigated allelopathy in...

Remote sensing technology plays an important role in woodland identification. However, in mountainous areas with complex terrain, accurate extraction of woodland boundary information still faces challenges. To address this problem, this paper propose...

Thinning, a core forest management measure, is implemented to adjust stand density and affect soil biogeochemical processes by changing biotic and abiotic properties. However, the responses of soil organic carbon (SOC), soil enzyme activity (EEA), an...

Monochamus alternatus Hope and Arhopalus rusticus (L.) are important stem-boring pests that co-occur on weakened Pinus spp. Their larvae damage the xylem and phloem of the trunks and branches. At present, the consequences of the interspecific relatio...

Forest fires represent a significant intersection between nature and society, often leading to the loss of natural resources, soil nutrients, and economic opportunities, as well as causing desertification and the displacement of communities. Therefor...

We evaluated the long-term impacts of various forest management practices on the structure and biodiversity of Estonian hemiboreal forests, a unique ecological transition zone between temperate and boreal forests, found primarily in regions with cold...

Ejina, a representative inland river basin situated in the arid region of northwest China, exhibits a delicate ecological environment and its vegetation coverage is intrinsically linked to regional ecological security. Based on MOD13Q1-NDVI data from...

Forest fires are a major global environmental problem, especially for forest ecosystems and specifically in Mediterranean climate zones. These fires can seriously impact hydrologic processes and soil erosion, which can cause water pollution and flood...

Climate variations in temperature and precipitation significantly impact forest productivity. Precipitation influences the physiology and growth of species, while temperature regulates photosynthesis, respiration, and transpiration. This study develo...
