Wind speed and relative humidity influence spatial patterns of burn severity in boreal forests of northeastern China
We investigated relationships between the spatial patterns of burn severity in Chinese boreal forests and weather parameters. Patch size, shape and arrangement differed between high-severity and low/moderate-severity patches. Wind speed and relative humidity were dominant weather parameters

Managing tree species diversity and ecosystem functions through coexistence mechanisms
A better transfer to managers of studies examining the functional role of tree species diversity would be achieved by explicitly addressing two missing links: the effect of management interventions on coexistence mechanisms and the relationships between coexistence

Quercus suber forest and Pinus plantations show different post-fire resilience in Mediterranean north-western Africa
Topical collection: Mediterranean Pines In the African rim of the Western Mediterranean Basin, cork oak forests and pine plantations coexist. Under similar fire regimes, cork oak forest is more resilient in terms of habitat structure (canopy, understory,

Optimal management of larch (Larix olgensis A. Henry) plantations in Northeast China when timber production and carbon stock are considered
The optimal management of larch (Larix olgensis) plantations in Northeast China consisted of 2 or 3 thinnings and a rotation length of 55–61 years when economic profitability, wood production, and carbon sequestration were simultaneously maximized. Wood production
