Tree species diversity can positively affect the multifunctionality of forests. This is why conifer monocultures of Scots pine and Norway spruce, widely promoted in Central Europe since the 18th and 19th century, are currently converted into mixed stands...

Integrative studies on paleoclimate variations over oceanic and continental regions are scarce. Though it is known that Earth?s climate is strongly affected by sea-air exchanges of heat and moisture, the role of oceans in climate variations over land rem...

The use of fully-mechanized operations, normally targeted at coniferous species, has also been on the rise in mixed-species and continuous-cover forests comprised of a strong share of deciduous species. With special form characteristics (complex crowns, ...
