Mortality, dynamics and structure of mountain forests in Central Europe
Abstract:
Natural tree mortality, driven by disturbances, their legacies and climate, represents a key process shaping forest dynamics and influencing forest structure. Shifting tree mortality rates are a global-change syndrome influencing forests across the world. However, determining whether environmental changes are altering mortality rates is complicated by the fact that tree mortality inherently changes …moreAbstract:
Norway spruce. The significant differences in mortality rates among regions and species and species-specific distributions of mortality agents emphasize the importance of structural and compositional heterogeneity of forest stands (Chapter 5.3). 4) We found that the basal area of Norway spruce forests varies on multiple spatial scales. Climatic drivers are most important at coarse scales while natural …more
