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...

Ecosystem legacies, reflecting the management history traits, are visible in structural indicators of a forest stand. We assessed patterns of spatial forest structure by using individual tree indices based on the nearest-neighbourhood approach. Five different indices were quantified - species...

Against the background of the ongoing climate change, forest science and Central-European forest management need information about tree species that are suitable of forming resistant and resilient multispecific and multipurpose forest stands. Non-native species are also considered for this purpose. ...

There is great interest in determining the effects of forest thinning as a tool to improve growth recovery from drought in different tree species and climatic conditions. However, we lack a robust framework to determine how transient are post-drought growth resilience and enhancement, and if such...

Tree functional traits together with processes such as forest regeneration, growth, and mortality affect forest and tree structure. Forest management inherently impacts these processes. Moreover, forest structure, biodiversity, resilience, and carbon uptake can be sustained and enhanced with forest ...

Land uses such as forestry are concerned with applying standardized management schemes to meet management goals and serve the interests of various actors. As a consequence of differences in actors' power to influence forest management, certain goals and silvicultural ideals will be promoted at the...

The spread of remote sensing technologies allows for continuous and precise mapping of forest ecosystem attributes over large areas. One of the most important attributes of a forest ecosystem is site productivity, an essential determinant of resource availability. Knowledge of site productivity is...

Objective: To analyze the effect of 20 years'practice of close-to-nature forest management, and summarize the experiences of implementing close-to-nature forest management in Germany. Method: Based on the data of two forest inventories (interval of 10 years), this paper emphatically analyzes the...

Forest resources in Turkey, according to the principles of ecosystem-based, multiple-use management approach, forest management chief/planning units are governed by forest management plans. Forest management planning process involves taking inventory, preparing the database with Geographic...

This thematic issue contains 7 papers focusing on silviculture and forest production under climate change. Topics discussed include: assisted migration vs. close-to-nature forestry: what are the prospects for tree populations under climate change?; substitution of Norway spruce for Douglas-fir:...
