Multiple ecological drivers, along with forest age, determine the species composition of boreal ecosystems. However, role age in successional changes forests cannot be understood without taking site conditions, disturbance regime and structure into account. In this study, we ask two research questions: 1. What is relationship between overall older near-natural spruce forests, i.e. beyond harvest maturity? 2. Do associated different habitats respond similarly to variation age? Data were...
Abstract The results of nature restoration efforts have been characterized as notoriously unpredictable. Many variables impact the trajectory species communities towards recovery, and ecological theory that takes traits, habitat configuration scale into account, can improve models. However, most important questions regarding predictability community may be related to stochasticity. We investigated assembly a cyanolichen in chronosequence consisting 88 new forest patches (30–140+ years old)...
Old trees are important for biodiversity, and the process of their identification is a critical in conservation. However, determining tree age by core extraction, ring counts, eventually, cross-dating means dendrochronology labor-intensive expensive. Here we examine alternative method estimating visual characteristics old Norway spruce Scots pine trees. We used forest stands previously identified as "Old habitats" criteria Norwegian boreal forests. The efficiency this was tested using...
