TLDR
This paper showed that under forecasted changes in temperature and precipitation, there could be a decline of economically valuable species, which would lead to a loss in the value of European forest land.Abstract:
European forests are threatened by climate change with impacts on the distribution of tree species. Previous discussions on the consequences of biome shifts have concentrated only on ecological issues; however, research now shows that under forecasted changes in temperature and precipitation there could be a decline of economically valuable species, which would lead to a loss in the value of European forest land.read more

Functional Traits of Boreal Species and Adaptation to Local Conditions
TL;DR: In this article , the main life processes of boreal trees are discussed and the variability of functional traits of flowering and seed production, xylem conductivity, bud and cambium phenology, as well as transpiration and photosynthesis, as a consequence of the interaction of genotype and environment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rich forests, rich people? Sustainable finance and its links to forests
TL;DR: In this article , the authors conducted 51 in-depth qualitative interviews with experts from financial institutions, timberland and impact investors, international organizations, civil society organizations and academia to identify five main narratives on the nexus between sustainable finance and forests.
Effects of Norway spruce shelter density and soil scarification method on mortality and height growth of underplanted European beech, European silver fir and Douglas fir
TL;DR: In this paper , the mortality and height growth of European beech (Fagus sylvatica L), European silver fir (Abies alba Mill), and Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco) were examined under a shelterwood of 17-19 m tall Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) at shelter densities initially ranging by basal area from 10 to 36 m2-ha−1 (271-1099 stems)

Long-term dynamics of tree of heaven (Ailanthus altissima) in central European forests
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors simulated the long-term dynamics of unmanaged and managed forest stands in southern and northern Switzerland under current and future climate conditions (RCP8.5) using the forest gap model ForClim.
Journal ArticleDOI
The LGM refugia of deciduous oak and distribution development since the LGM in China
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors integrated different methods (i.e., palaeoecology, phylogeography, and species distribution models) to investigate the likely locations of glacial refugia and the postglacial development of the main deciduous oak species.
