Forests, Volume 15, Issue 11

The forest ecosystem is one of the planet’s critical ecosystems. Identifying the tradeoff-synergistic relationships among forest ecosystem service values and exploring their driving factors in the Yangtze River Delta are crucial for promoting t...

The bay area contains terrestrial forests and coastal mangroves with vital ecosystem functions, which provide essential ecosystem services such as carbon sequestration and biodiversity maintenance. Meanwhile, the bay area usually hosts intensive soci...

In the context of global climate warming, climate change is subtly reshaping the patterns of wildfires. Therefore, it is particularly urgent to conduct in-depth research on climate change, wildfires, and their management strategies. This study relies...

Forest fires are a frequent and destructive phenomenon in Southwestern China, posing significant threats to ecological systems and human lives and property. In response to the growing need for effective forest fire prevention, this study introduces a...

The basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factors play crucial roles in plant growth, development, and stress responses. However, their identification and insights into the understanding of their role in rubber trees remain largely uncovered. I...

Larch is a cold-temperate tree species native to the northern hemisphere and tolerant to low temperatures. It is one of the most significant timber species in Northeast China. This study examined growth changes in hybrid larch seedlings from five lin...

Tree canopy cover is an important forest inventory parameter and a critical component for the in-depth mapping of forest fuels. This research examines the potential of employing single-date Sentinel-2 multispectral imagery, combined with contextual s...

The Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) system provides essential data for estimating forest canopy height on a global scale. However, factors such as complex topography and dense canopy can significantly reduce the accuracy of GEDI canopy...

Global climate change exerts great effects on plant distributions. However, the response of Prunus mira Koehne, one of the most important species for ecological protection in the southeast of the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau, to climate change remains...

Forest above-ground carbon stock (AGCS) is one of the primary ecological evaluation indicators, so it is crucial to estimate the AGCS accurately. In this research, we added the climatic and topographic factors to the estimation process by a remote se...
