ESTIMATING THE AGE-DEPENDENT CHANGES IN CARBON STOCKS OF SCOTS PINE (PINUS SYLVESTRIS L.) STANDS IN TURKEY
By Marianne Peiffer On 22 April 2016 In Research paper
Simulated and observed carbon stocks in Scots pine forests varied considerably with stand age. The contribution of biomass to the total forest carbon stocks increased and that of dead organic matter decreased with increasing stand age. Abstract

PINUS NIGRA ARN. SSP. SALZMANNII SEEDLING RECRUITMENT IS AFFECTED BY STAND BASAL AREA, SHRUB COVER AND CLIMATE INTERACTIONS
By Marianne Peiffer On 19 April 2016 In Research paper
Shrub cover has visible effects on Pinus nigra Arn ssp. salzmannii seedling emergence, but only in drier years under moderate basal area (25–30 m2 ha−1 ). In the wetter year, shrub cover favours seedling survival without basal

Stand volume models based on stable metrics as from multiple Aerial Laser Scanning ALS
By Marianne Peiffer On 12 May 2015 In Research paper
Key message : The selection of stable metrics can generate reliable models between different data sets. The height metrics provide the greatest stability, specifically the higher percentiles and the mode. Height metrics transfer more predictive power than

Modeling tree mortality for fir, oak, and birch
By Marianne Peiffer On 17 March 2015 In Research paper
Climate variables improve individual-tree mortality models for fir, oak and birch. Climate is considered as an important driver of tree mortality, but few studies have included climate factors in models to explore their importance for modelling individual-

Ground arthropods of a protected beech forest
Forest maturity benefits biodiversity by providing positive effects on key arthropod assemblages such as spider and ground beetles, which play a fundamental role in the ecosystem. Sustainable forest management is a widely held international goal, and more

Fire affects soil organic matter and the emergence of Pinus radiata seedlings
By Marianne Peiffer On 4 December 2014 In Research paper
These results demonstrate the regeneration capacity of Pinus radiata in forest ecosystems, which is essential to minimise long-term fire impact of fire. Abstract This study integrates thermal analysis of soil with tests of fire effects on Pinus
