Greenhouse gas (GHG) fluxes from forests, including carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O), are regulated by complex interactions of abiotic and biotic factors. A better understanding of these interactions involving GHGs can hel...

Modern pollen deposition studies are essential to forestry and palaeoecological research, as they provide the key to understanding the relationship between the abundance of palynomorphs in natural (moss, litter, top core sediment) or artificial traps...

Türkiye’s forest governance exhibits a persistent policy–implementation gap rooted in a governance paradox: while the Ecosystem-Based Functional Planning (EBFP) system promotes ecological integrity and adaptive management, the founda...

As climate change accelerates, environmental factors are expected to fluctuate as well. To gain insight into soil respiration (Rs) dynamics, it is essential to conduct long-term measurements of Rs alongside environmental variations. To this end, we e...

To accurately analyze the dynamic response and driving mechanism of forest carbon sequestration in the core area of the Loess Plateau’s Returning Farmland to Forestry Project, this study takes the Beiluo River Basin as the research area. Using...

Detecting forest tree species distribution using satellite imagery with deep-learning models is essential for effective forest management. While sufficient training samples are crucial for developing deep-learning-based tree species classification mo...

Blue carbon ecosystems, particularly mangroves, seagrasses, and salt marshes, play a crucial role in climate regulation by capturing and storing huge stocks of carbon. Together with supporting fisheries production, protecting shorelines from erosion,...

Forest-type national nature reserves and their surrounding areas have experienced a series of drought events, which have influenced forest ecosystem stability. Assuming that drought events do not cause a shift in the ecosystem’s stable state, w...

Forest structure, including trees, deadwood and tree-related microhabitats, is a key determinant of forest biodiversity. Their relative contribution in shaping local (alpha) biodiversity and its variation (beta) between sites remains unclear. We asse...

Forest diseases threaten tree health, biodiversity, and ecosystem services, with impacts amplified by climate change and global trade. Understanding and managing these threats is difficult due to the longevity of trees, the size and inaccessibility o...
