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

High Morphological Differentiation in Crown Architecture Contrasts with Low Population Genetic Structure of German Norway Spruce Stands
Oliver Caré,Markus Müller,Barbara Vornam,Aki M. Höltken,Karina Kahlert,Konstantin V. Krutovsky,Oliver Gailing,Ludger Leinemann +7 more
TL;DR: The objective of the study was to quantify supposedly adaptive phenotypic differences in crown architecture and the genetic differentiation of 11 putatively neutral nuclear microsatellite markers (i.e., simple sequence repeats (nSSRs).

Timber mobilization and habitat tree retention in low-elevation mixed forests in Switzerland: an inventory-based scenario analysis of opportunities and constraints
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated a range of operationally relevant forest management scenarios that varied with respect to rotation length, growing stock targets and the promotion of conifers in the regeneration.

Tree-Related Microhabitats Follow Similar Patterns but are More Diverse in Primary Compared to Managed Temperate Mountain Forests
Thomas Asbeck,Daniel Kozák,Andreea P. Spînu,Martin Mikoláš,Veronika Zemlerová,Miroslav Svoboda +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the influence of environmental factors on the occurrence of groups of TreMs by comparing primary and managed forests was analyzed by using generalized linear mixed models with diameter at breast height (DBH), altitude, slope and aspect as predictors for European beech (Fagus sylvatica), Norway spruce (Picea abies), and silver fir (Abies alba (Mill).

Root water uptake depth determines the hydraulic vulnerability of temperate European tree species during the extreme 2018 drought.
Ansgar Kahmen,David Basler,Giinter Hoch,Roman M. Link,Bernhard Schuldt,Cedric Zahnd,Matthias Arend +6 more
TL;DR: In this article , the authors assessed the mechanisms causing differences in drought vulnerability among mature individuals of nine co-occurring tree species at the Swiss Canopy Crane II site in Switzerland, and showed that structural-morphological traits such as root water uptake depth determine how quickly different species approach these thresholds during a drought event.
