TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the growth of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) and European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) in mixed versus pure stands on 32 triplets located along a productivity gradient through Europe.
Abstract: Mixing of complementary tree species may increase stand productivity, mitigate the effects of drought and other risks, and pave the way to forest production systems which may be more resource-use efficient and stable in the face of climate change. However, systematic empirical studies on mixing effects are still missing for many commercially important and widespread species combinations. Here we studied the growth of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) and European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) in mixed versus pure stands on 32 triplets located along a productivity gradient through Europe, reaching from Sweden to Bulgaria and from Spain to the Ukraine. Stand inventory and taking increment cores on the mainly 60-80 year-old trees and 0.02-1.55 ha sized, fully stocked plots provided insight how species mixing modifies the structure, dynamics and productivity compared with neighbouring pure stands. In mixture standing volume (?12 %), stand density (?20 %), basal area growth (?12 %), and stand volume growth (?8 %) were higher

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared different wetness indices based on simulations of distributed catchment models and evaluated the different indices by their capacity to predict spatial patterns of saturated areas, and found that the model-derived wetness index maps predicted the spatial distribution of wetlands significantly better than the TWI.

TL;DR: The results suggest that salvage logging is not consistent with the management objectives of protected areas, and substantial changes, such as the retention of dead wood in naturally disturbed forests, are needed to support biodiversity.
Abstract: Logging to "salvage" economic returns from forests affected by natural disturbances has become increasingly prevalent globally Despite potential negative effects on biodiversity, salvage logging is often conducted, even in areas otherwise excluded from logging and reserved for nature conservation, inter alia because strategic priorities for post-disturbance management are widely lackingA review of the existing literature revealed that most studies investigating the effects of salvage logging on biodiversity have been conducted less than 5 years following natural disturbances, and focused on non-saproxylic organismsA meta-analysis across 24 species groups revealed that salvage logging significantly decreases numbers of species of eight taxonomic groups Richness of dead wood dependent taxa (ie saproxylic organisms) decreased more strongly than richness of non-saproxylic taxa In contrast, taxonomic groups typically associated with open habitats increased in the number of species after salvage loggingBy analysing 134 original species abundance matrices, we demonstrate that salvage logging significantly alters community composition in 7 of 17 species groups, particularly affecting saproxylic assemblagesSynthesis and applications Our results suggest that salvage logging is not consistent with the management objectives of protected areas Substantial changes, such as the retention of dead wood in naturally disturbed forests, are needed to support biodiversity Future research should investigate the amount and spatio-temporal distribution of retained dead wood needed to maintain all components of biodiversity

TL;DR: A cDNA clone is isolated encoding a putative key enzyme of artemisinin biosynthesis, amorpha-4,11-diene synthase, which has a broad pH optimum between 7.5 and 9.0 and the Km values for farnesyl diphosphate, Mg2+, and Mn2+ are 0.9, 70, and 13 microM, respectively, at pH7.5.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated how pH and microbial activity influence fluxes and composition of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) in a laboratory leaching experiment with mor humus from a limed plot and an unlimed plot of Scots pine in northern Sweden.
Abstract: We investigated how pH and microbial activity influence fluxes and composition of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) in a laboratory leaching experiment with mor humus from a limed plot and an unlimed plot of Scots pine in northern Sweden. CaCO3 was applied at a rate of 5 t ha−1 23 yr before sampling. The limed (pH 5.4) and unlimed (pH 4.3) mor humus was incubated at +4°C and +15°C. The biological activity measured as CO2 evolution increased in the following order: unlimed +4°C
