Forest carbon sink estimation models: Progress, challenges, and opportunity of space–air–ground integrated assimilation
Estimates of forest carbon sinks are essential for global carbon cycle studies, forest stewardship, and monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV); nonetheless, current methodologies exhibit limitations regarding scale conversion, mechanistic restrictions, spatial continuity, and uncertainty…

Contrasting effects of litter removal and root exclusion on soil phosphorus availability in a temperate broad-leaved forest
Plant detrital inputs sustain soil phosphorus (P) fertility, yet they are increasingly disrupted by global environmental change and forest management. Although P availability frequently constrains temperate forest productivity, the distinct effects of above-versus belowground detrital reductions on…

Spatial pattern dynamics of subalpine secondary forests over eighteen years on the eastern Qinghai–Tibet Plateau, China
Revealing the dynamic changes in tree spatial patterns holds significant implications for the restoration practices of natural secondary forests. We analyzed the dynamics of tree spatial patterns using 18 years (2005–2023) of repeated survey data from a 4-ha subalpine natural secondary forest on…

When greening goes too far: Ecological restoration undermines hydrological resistance on the Loess Plateau
Large-scale ecosystem restoration is increasingly promoted as a strategy to enhance landscape resilience, yet its hydrological consequences, particularly under intensifying drought and atmospheric aridity, remain insufficiently understood. Focusing on China's Loess Plateau, where the…

Ecological thresholds and divergent drought resilience of Robinia pseudoacacia plantations across a hydro-climatic gradient
As climate change intensifies drought severity and frequency, the stability of large-scale afforestation programs hinges on understanding the growth limits and drought-response patterns of key tree species. Robinia pseudoacacia is a critical species for ecological restoration in northern China, yet…

Carbon-water trade-off in Eucalyptus dunnii plantations: A bi-objective optimization framework using remote sensing and machine learning models
Commercial Eucalyptus plantations have expanded significantly in South America, with most of them being managed under short-rotation regimes for pulp production. Despite the contribution of Eucalyptus plantations to carbon sequestration, there are concerns about high water use and its potential…

The impact of different management methods on the growth and structure of Quercus aliena var. acuteserrata secondary forests
Continuous cover forestry (CCF) can maintain sustainable production while balancing ecological, economic, and social functions. Based on its basic principles, many management methods have been developed. However, a long-term assessment of the effects of different management methods on forest growth…

Divergent growth patterns and climate constraints of Scots pine across three typical climate types in Eurasia
Global large-scale afforestation is seen as an effective strategy to restore ecosystems and mitigate climate change by sequestering carbon. However, ongoing global warming and hotter droughts have triggered forest dieback, growth decline, and increased mortality in plantations subjected to chronic…

Understanding drivers of eucalypt spatial patterns in temperate forests using point process modelling
The spatial patterning of trees in forests reflects past ecological processes. Mechanisms such as seed dispersal, competition, niche segregation, and facilitation operate across a range of scales, depending on the identity and attributes of the tree and its neighbours. Understanding how these…

Disentangling the determinants of and mapping the root-to-shoot ratio of Chinese forest ecosystems
The root-to-shoot ratio (R/S) is a key parameter for estimating forest carbon stocks and modeling carbon cycles at global and regional scales. We compiled a large dataset (n = 7,980) from Chinese forest ecosystems and employed the Random Forest algorithm, combined with shapley additive explanations…

Aquaculture stress destabilizes iron–organic carbon coupling and alters nitrogen pathways in mangrove soils
Mangrove carbon sequestration and nitrogen removal processes are threatened by coastal aquaculture, but the underlying biogeochemical mechanisms remain poorly understood. Using geochemical profiling, metagenomics, and structural equation modeling, we examined aquaculture effects on nitrogen…

Thinning-enhanced understory solar radiation promotes litter decomposition in subtropical pine forests
Litter decomposition is a key control on carbon and nutrient cycling in subtropical forests, yet how thinning and understory solar radiation are related to this process remains insufficiently understood. We combined a stand structural adjustment (thinning) experiment in Pinus yunnanensis forest…

Sustainability in managed forests of Central Europe
Here we investigate the concept of sustainability in forestry, using the central European forests as an example and applying the Rio criteria of sustainability. We come to the conclusion that European forests are generally sustainably managed with respect to the wood economics. However, with…

Characterizing reference sites to inform restoration of the last remnants of the endangered Nothofagus alessandrii forest ecosystem
The ecological restoration of threatened ecosystems is a global priority, particularly for those with only a few remaining intact fragments. A critical first step in restoring such ecosystems is the development of restoration targets based on the compositional and structural conditions that would…

Scaling of phyllosphere epiphyllous bacterial diversity with tree size across temperate forests
Phyllosphere bacteria form a part of the extended phenotype of host plants, and can strongly influence plant environmental adaptability. However, little is known about whether and how phyllosphere bacterial diversity covaries with tree size, and how these relationships vary across environmental…

Nitrogen additions modify the nursing effect of Scots pine on Sitka spruce via plant-soil feedback
Nitrogen availability is thought to be a key factor that modifies the strength and direction of plant-soil feedback (PSF), but how nitrogen availability and PSF interact in forests remains unresolved. For example, PSF is one of the drivers underpinning the well-known nursing effect in the Atlantic…

Contrasting responses of above- and belowground carbon stocks and arthropods in relation to forest management
Forest ecosystems play a key role in mitigating both climate change and biodiversity loss, as they store large amounts of carbon and provide habitat for a diverse flora and fauna. However, for temperate European forests, several studies suggest that there are not unequivocally unidirectional…
