The aim of the work is to present the 200-year-old output of 'Sylwan' journal in the field of silviculture, with particular emphasis on the trends in the development of this discipline in forest science and practice. As a result of the query, limited to the content analysis of only those articles...

Understanding the long-term variations of stand water balance and carbon stocks under different water inputs is crucial for sustainable forest management under climate change. However, due to the lack of in-situ data, how forest plantations respond to variation in water inputs during stand...

Poplar (Populus spp.) is widely planted around the world and has been closely linked to human beings since ancient times due to its multiple beneficial utilizations both for the environment and society. As one of the fastest-growing tree species in temperate zones, the high growth rate of poplar is ...

We re-examined the knowledge on the relationships between fauna and forest management in Italy. We focused our attention on Vertebrates, including small mammals (Rodents and Soricomorphs), bats, birds, reptiles and amphibians, and on carabid and saproxylic beetles. We found that nearly all groups...

The international community is paying more and more attention to the role of forests in CO₂ absorption. This study aims the broad leaved forest carbon sinks in China, on the basis of research on coniferous forest carbon sinks in 1981 and 2014, the paper analyses the changes in broad leaved forest...

Because they generate more wood per area and time, short rotation plantations are likely to play an increasing role in meeting the global increase in the demand for wood fiber. To be successful, high-yield plantations require costly intensive silviculture regimes to ensure the survival and maximize ...

Soil phosphorus (P) availability and its distribution influence plant growth and productivity. To evaluate strategies that allow genotypes to be efficient under variable P environments, we planted six hybrid Populus deltoides clones belonging to the section Aigeiros (Aig), LL1, LL9, NL351, NL35,...

Objective: This study investigated the effects of three forest management modes on soil nitrogen content and related enzyme activities associated with the construction of shelterbelts surrounding the shore of Taihu Lake. Method: Poplar plantations that have been standardized and aged, with three...

The recent climate change scenarios show significant increases in temperature and extreme drought events in Southern and Eastern Europe by the end of the 21st century, which will have a serious impact on forest growth and adaptation, and important consequences for forest management. The system of...

Manifold benefits and advantages of mixed tree stands have been known for many decades. However, while developing and maintaining multiaged and mixed-species forests with complex stand structures has often been advocated and has recently become a worldwide priority, it is not a simple task. One...
