TL;DR: A widespread tree mortality event that resulted from the worst 1-year drought on record for the state of Texas, USA is investigated, highlighting that drought-driven mortality alters forest structure differently across climatic regions and genera.

TL;DR: The reasoning for moving to an annual timber products monitoring program is presented and a comparison of sample designs is presented to facilitate an annual program without increased effort, finding that both probability proportional to size and stratified simple random sampling designs were viable options, but the stratifiedsimple random sampling design provided more flexibility.

TL;DR: Investigation of relationships among stand composition, stemwood productivity, and canopy structure in northeastern Minnesota found aspen, primarily quaking and to a lesser degree bigtooth, was a significant component of every study area.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compare how temporal aggregation approaches with NFI data affects estimates of standing dead trees as these respond to extreme disturbance events, and they find that interpretations of disturbance event impacts varied depending on which sets of estimates were considered.
