Structure of silver fir (Abies alba Mill.) natural regeneration in the `Jata' reserve in Poland
TLDR
In this article, the authors found that the number and development of fir regeneration were influenced by species composition of a stand; fir regenerated not only in pure fir stands but also in mixed forests.About:

Canopy gaps in an old-growth fir-beech forest remnant of Western Carpathians
TL;DR: The lateral expansion of adjacent trees was found to be the determining process for the closure of small canopy openings, and the intermediate and large gaps are more likely closed by the height growth of natural regeneration and understory trees that are present on the majority of the area.

Ecology and silviculture of silver fir (Abies alba Mill.): a review
TL;DR: The main characteristics of the history and ecology of silver fir are described, with a particular emphasis on gene ecology and the structure and dynamics of fir populations with respect to mixed stands and fir management.

Do changes in spatial distribution, structure and abundance of silver fir (Abies alba Mill.) indicate its decline?
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a large-scale approach to study the dynamics of silver fir over nearly 40 years, based on changes in spatial distribution of fir, fir abundance in forest stands, dbh structure of fir and abundance of fir regeneration.

Long-term variability of Abies alba in NW Romania: implications for its conservation management
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the antiquity of the present Abies alba communities in the forests of NW Romania and the drivers behind their variability over the last 6000 years leading to current distribution pattern.

Decline of silver fir (Abies alba Mill.) stands in the Spanish Pyrenees: Role of management, historic dynamics and pathogens
Jonàs Oliva,Carlos Colinas +1 more
TL;DR: The present study examines the influence of ecological conditions and silvicultural practices on the health of silver fir (Abies alba Mill.) stands, with special attention to the implications of Viscum album, Armillaria and Heterobasidion annosum, finding that fir decline and health problems are more localized and advanced on seed trees left after the last cuttings.

Introduction to plant population ecology
TL;DR: In this article, the authors introduce plant population biology, and introduce the concept of a plant population population biology classifier, which can be used to measure plant population growth and fertility.

The Ecology and Silviculture of Mixed-Species Forests
TL;DR: In this paper, a model of stand structure and dynamics in mixed-species stands is presented, along with a case study of a mixed-conifer forest in Hokkaido, northern Japan following a catastrophic windstorm.
