The prediction of forest productivity is essential for sustainable forest management, particularly in countries, likeItaly, where forest is an important part of many protected areas.A spatial predictive probability model for forest productivity rates in Italy was developed over the period1961–1990, based on 135 annually-resolved records of site pro...

Key message : In tree communities, tree size inequality reduces productivity and interacts with tree shade tolerance to modulate stand productivity, with a higher productivity in stands where shade-intolerant species dominate shade-tolerant species in size.[br/] Context Positive diversity–productivity relationships have been reported in different p...
Precise descriptions of forest productivity, biomass, and structure are essential for understanding ecosystem responses to climatic and anthropogenic changes. However, relations between these components are complex, in particular for tropical forests.[br/] We developed an approach to simulate carbon dynamics in the Amazon rainforest including aroun...
Climate change affects ecosystem functioning directly through impacts on plant physiology, resulting in changes of global productivity. However, climate change has also an indirect impact on ecosystems, through changes in the composition and diversity of plant communities. The relative importance of these direct and indirect effects has not been ev...

Rising atmospheric CO2 stimulates photosynthesis and productivity of forests, offsetting CO2 emissions1, 2. Elevated CO2 experiments in temperate planted forests yielded ~23% increases in productivity3 over the initial years. Whether similar CO2 stimulation occurs in mature evergreen broadleaved forests on low-phosphorus (P) soils is unknown, large...
Recent studies projecting future climate change impacts on forests mainly consider either the effects of climate change on productivity or on disturbances. However, productivity and disturbances are intrinsically linked because 1) disturbances directly affect forest productivity (e.g. via a reduction in leaf area, growing stock or resource-use effi...
Contexte – Les recherches examinées portent sur la dynamique des forêts tempérées, plus particulièrement sur la productivité forestière et sa modélisation, à partir d’observations quantitatives opérées à des échelles spatiotemporelles régionale à nationale et pluri-décennale à centennale, et à des niveaux d’organisation définis par l’espèce ligneus...
