Journal ArticleDOI
Forest management for mitigation and adaptation to climate change: Insights from long-term silviculture experiments
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined stand-level carbon and complexity responses using five long-term (>50 yrs) silviculture experiments within the upper Great Lakes region, USA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of thinning on drought vulnerability and climate response in north temperate forest ecosystems
TL;DR: Results suggest that thinning generally enhanced drought resistance and resilience; however, this relationship showed a pronounced reversal over time in stands maintained at lower tree densities, and the importance of accounting for stand structure when predicting climate-change impacts to forests is highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vegetation Responses along Edge-to-Interior Gradients in the Mixed Hardwood Forests of the Roanoke River Basin, North Carolina
TL;DR: Estimating how far the effects of agriculturally maintained edges penetrate the mixed hardwood forests of the Roanoke River Basin, North Carolina allowed us to better understand the difference between a forest’s actual area and its functional interior area.
Journal ArticleDOI
Density‐dependent vulnerability of forest ecosystems to drought
Alessandra Bottero,Alessandra Bottero,Anthony W. D'Amato,Anthony W. D'Amato,Brian J. Palik,John B. Bradford,Shawn Fraver,Michael Battaglia,Lance A. Asherin +8 more
TL;DR: Managing pine forest ecosystems at low tree population density represents a promising adaptive strategy for reducing the adverse impacts of drought on forest growth in coming decades, and the broader applicability of the findings to other types of forest ecosystems merits additional investigation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantifying carbon stores and decomposition in dead wood: A review
Matthew B. Russell,Shawn Fraver,Tuomas Aakala,Jeffrey H. Gove,Christopher W. Woodall,Anthony W. D'Amato,Mark J. Ducey +6 more
TL;DR: The amount and dynamics of forest dead wood (both standing and downed) has been quantified by a variety of approaches throughout the forest science and ecology literature as mentioned in this paper, which can lead to differences in our understanding of forests and their role in the sequestration and emissions of CO2.
