Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of retention harvests on structure of old-growth Pinus strobus L. stands in Ontario
TL;DR: The study shows that structural retention harvesting can maintain or exceed levels of habitat provision such as cavity trees and cwd, found in old stands, though increased tree mortality and wind-throw can result.
Journal ArticleDOI
Corticolous bryophytes in managed Douglas-fir forests: habitat differentiation and responses to thinning and fertilization
TL;DR: Observed patterns of habitat differentiation, interspecific associations, and treat- ment responses suggest that stand hydrology and microclimate are of primary importance in determining the distribu- tion and abundance of corticolous bryophytes in managed forests.
Journal ArticleDOI
Size-dependent changes in wood chemical traits: a comparison of neotropical saplings and large trees
TL;DR: Strong and consistent differences in wood chemistry of saplings and canopy trees, in several tropical hardwood species are found, pointing to the importance of pathogens and tree biomechanics as evolutionary causes of size-dependent changes in wood Chemistry.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessing the potential of native tree species for carbon sequestration forestry in Northeast China
TL;DR: Assessment of the potential growth and carbon sequestration of native tree species in Jilin Province, Northeast China suggests that certain native hardwoods, in particular Fraxinus mandshurica and Phellodendron amurense, have high potential for use in carbon forestry applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Herbivory patterns in mature sugar maple: variation with vertical canopy strata and tree ontogeny
TL;DR: Although leaf morphology and chemistry show profound changes as trees age, the consequences of such changes to herbivory have received little attention, particularly late in the ontogeny of canopy trees.
