Tree species segmentation is an essential condition for research forestry and has a large impact on forest resource monitoring, sustainable forest management, and biodiversity research. Recently, the development of hardware and software has been rapidly increasing. Regarding hardware, the active...

Knowledge on the potential suitability of tree species to the site is very important for forest management planning. Natural forest distribution provides a good reference for afforestation and forest restoration. In this study, we developed species distribution model (SDM) for 16 major tree species ...

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...

Biomass procured from willow short rotation coppice has a promising potential to ensure the provision of clean energy. To evaluate and validate the effectiveness of different harvesting techniques and equipment for small-scale willow short rotation coppice applications, time and motion studies are...

Biomass for energy production and other bioproducts may be procured from various sources including willow short-rotation coppice (WSRC). Management of WSRCs involves several operations, including harvesting, which accounts for the greatest cost share and, if conducted motor-manually, it can expose...

Forest plantations with different trees and purposes were traditionally developed with seminal seedlings. Actually, the most important planted tree species can be propagated by vegetative methods, so clonal silviculture has high possibilities to grow. Salicaceae plantations are established by...

Abies religiosa's forests are severely endangered as a result of climate change; to save this species and its biological interactions, population assisted migration is discussed in forest management, but not in the microbial ecology field. Our objectives were to analyze its mycorrhizal networks;...

Today, forests, which are one of the most important resources capable of naturally renewing themselves, are not considered and operated only as the resources of wood raw materials. The products and the protective services provided by forests are of greater importance in terms of intensive forestry...

Current scenarios of the consequences of global warming stimulate research on the carbon-depositing capacity of vegetation cover. The stem is the main part of the tree biomass, and the accuracy of its volume assessment determines the possibility of correct monitoring and forecasting of forest...
