TL;DR: In this paper, the productivity of old-growth beech forests in the Mediterranean Basin was measured by average stem basal area increment (BAI) of dominant trees at two mountain sites in the Italian Apennines.

TL;DR: It is shown that AIS was adopted by around 75% of EU fishing vessels above 15 meters of length and the feasibility of producing a map of fishing effort with high spatial and temporal resolution at European scale is confirmed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the structural attributes and the history of old-growth Fagus forests in Mediterranean montane environments were studied following historical, structural and dendroecological approaches, which revealed the roles of disturbance, competition and climate in structuring the forest.

TL;DR: The GlobAllomeTree webplatform presents a database containing tree allometric equations, a software called Fantallomatrik, to facilitate the comparison and selection of the equations, and documentation to facilitates the development of new tree allomet models, improve the evaluation of tree and forest resources and improve knowledge on tree allometry equations.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors combined stem volume increment analysis with dendroecological tools to address two unresolved issues concerning oak dieback in Mediterranean areas: early detection of changes in stand growth, and identification of mechanisms for observed growth declines.
