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

Genetic and adaptive trait variation in seedlings of European beech provenances from Northern Germany
TL;DR: Small-scale adaptive trait variation in beech can occur, despite low but significant genetic population structure among provenances, according to a common garden experiment in Northern Germany.

Economic Evaluation of an Invasive Forest Pathogen at a Large Scale: The Case of Ash Dieback in France
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluate the economic impact of an invasive pathogen at a large scale by integrating the biophysical and economic aspects of the invasion into a dynamic and spatially explicit setting.

Airborne-laser-scanning-derived auxiliary information discriminating between broadleaf and conifer trees improves the accuracy of models for predicting timber volume in mixed and heterogeneously structured forests
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the advantage of including forest type information in ordinary least squares regression models for timber volume prediction using widely available data sources, and investigated the hypothesis that including the broadleaf and conifer proportions, weighted by canopy height information, as additional auxiliary variables is favorable over including simple area proportions.

TL;DR: An assessment of the level of uncertainty associated with the different assumptions discussed in the technical guidance document and the LULUCF regulation, and the impact of these assumptions on the country-specific FRL estimates.

Long-term development of natural regeneration in irregular, mixed stands of silver fir and Norway spruce
TL;DR: The development of top height and density of natural regeneration in 19 uneven-structured, mixed silver fir and Norway spruce stands in southwestern Germany using long-term observations is investigated to predict natural regeneration dynamics in structurally complex stands dominated by fir and spruce and to further evaluate alternative treatment scenarios.
