Forest bathing (FB) has evidenced positive effects on individuals’ mental health and well-being, but its benefits have mainly been studied in Asian biomes. The present study aimed to evaluate whether its benefits are also generalisable to other forests and biomes of the world, such as the Mediterranean. Eighty-six healthy adults of the general popu...

Norway spruce Picea abies is one of Europe’s most economically important tree species. However, it is highly susceptible to the root rot fungus Heterobasidion parviporum . Climate change will benefit the pathogen as the tree host is weakened by, e.g., extended drought. Breeding can improve forest health, and several root rot genetic markers are sug...

With progressing climate change, increasing weather extremes will endanger tree regeneration. Canopy openings provide light for tree establishment, but also reduce the microclimatic buffering effect of forests. Thus, disturbances can have both positive and negative impacts on tree regeneration. In 2015, three years before an extreme drought episode...

Ecosystem services are investigated from many perspectives, but there are very few studies comparing the perception of forest and demand for forest ecosystem services (FES) in a cross-cultural analysis. This study aims to map the demand for FES and find out the forest perception of forest visitors in both Czech and Chinese societies. Data were coll...

Climate-adaptive forest management aims to sustain the provision of multiple forest ecosystem services and biodiversity (ESB). However, it remains largely unknown how changes in adaptive silvicultural interventions affect trade-offs and synergies among ESB in the long term. We used a simulation-based sensitivity analysis to evaluate popular adaptiv...

While the impacts of forest management options on carbon (C) storage are well documented, the way they affect C distribution among ecosystem components remains poorly investigated. Yet, partitioning of total forest C stocks, particularly between aboveground woody biomass and the soil, greatly impacts the stability of C stocks against disturbances i...

In this paper, we first show both mathematically and empirically that the forest rent model is the wrong model to determine the optimal rotation age of a fully regulated forest as long as the standing timber has value. We then demonstrate that even if the forest is acquired for free, a fully regulated forest based on the forest rent model is actual...

This paper discusses Helmedag’s article concerning Faustmann’s formula (Helmedag in Eur J For Res, 2018. 10.1007/s10342-018-1101-8). He computed the present value of a fully regulated forest, including standing timber and theoretical land values. He showed that the optimal rotation in a fully regulated forest would always be the one that maximized ...

Dust pollution is expected to be a significant pollution in the urban forests, especially in semiarid environments. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of soil dust on the morphological, physiological and biochemical traits of seedlings of Fraxinus rotundifolia Mill., Morus alba L., Celtis caucasica Willd. and Melia azedarach L. T...

Mixed-species forests have potentially more benefits than monocultures particularly in terms of greater carbon sequestration. A 16-year-old Chinese fir (Cunninghamia lanceolata) monoculture in Zhejiang, China, was converted to a Chinese fir—broadleaved plantation by thinning from below (TFB) and crop tree release (CTR) methods coupled with planting...
