Understanding tree mortality is critical for sustainable forest management. Long-term tree mortality may differ depending on the stand development process and can be influenced by forest management regimes. Lo...
The posture control in Pachira aquatica, Sextonia rubra and Simarouba amara is achieved through contrasted mechanisms involving tensile stress in wood only, bark only or both. This study evidenced that the restor...
Although global changes are expected to intensify the impact of wind as a hazard, recent studies have emphasized the critical role wind plays in tree growth and development. Wind-induced swaying generates stra...
International forest reporting processes and increasing forest disturbances delineate new requirements regarding the information delivered by national forest inventories (NFI), with implications on their sampl...
Based on experimental and simulated data for maritime pine (Pinus pinaster Ait.) in a genomic selection context, our study reveals that the often-highlighted equivalence between genome-based and pedigree-based pr...
This study demonstrates the potential of Pinus yunnanensis Franch. for multi-trait selection in breeding programs, highlighting positive co-variation of growth traits with fecundity, trunk straightness, and crown...
We provide data on seedlot germination potential—a key trait related to regeneration—of 12 oak species. Germination was tested at the University of Granada following international protocols with 8985 acorns fr...

We found a significant increase in the latewood density of European beech, and a decrease in the latewood and mean wood density of silver fir and Norway spruce in European mountain forests over the period 1901...
The dataset provides hydraulic properties estimated using the Beerkan Estimation of Soil Transfer (BEST) method, on undisturbed and on compacted and rutted French forest soils. It allows a reliable assessment ...

Genetic parameter estimates at age 12 years for trunk volume in Pinus pinaster displayed low to moderate heritability for growth and stem form, whereas wood properties showed high heritability. No correlation was...
In a former paper, we investigated whether the presence of light-demanding tree species in the forest canopy of the Yangambi Biosphere Reserve (central Congo basin) might be a result of past human disturbances...
