TL;DR: In this article, a series of 16 field experiments was established to quantify the growth response of first-thinning stands of Pinus sylvestris and Picea abies to whole-tree harvesting (WTH), and to estimate the need for nutrient compensation.

TL;DR: The high degree of polymorphism and heterozygosity observed in RAMS markers suggests that the amount of genetic variation within this fungus is considerable and supports the idea of P. gigantea being a true biological species consisting of a single intersterility group.

TL;DR: The complexities inherent in land use, land-use change and forestry (LULUCF) activities have led to contentious and prolonged debates about the merits of their inclusion in the 2008-2012 first commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this article, a new approach to multi-criteria model evaluation is presented, consistent with the equifinality thesis and developed within the generalized likelihood uncertainty estimation (GLUE) framework.

TL;DR: In this paper, a series of coniferous forests across a European nitrogen deposition gradient within the NITREX project provided an opportunity to test the relationships between nitrogen supply from atmospheric deposition and the relative 15N-enrichment of vegetation to soil, across a large geographical area.
