Suitability of close-to-nature silviculture for adapting temperate European forests to climate change
Peter Brang,Peter Spathelf,J. Bo Larsen,Jürgen Bauhus,Andrej Boncčìna,Christophe Chauvin,Lars Drössler,Carlos García-Güemes,Caroline Heiri,Gary Kerr,Manfred J. Lexer,Bill Mason,Frits Mohren,Urs Mühlethaler,Susanna Nocentini,Miroslav Svoboda +15 more
TL;DR: This review identifies and evaluates six principles for enhancing the adaptive capacity of European temperate forests in a changing climate and uses these principles to examine how three CNS systems (single-tree selection, group selection and shelterwood) serve adaptation strategies.

Classification of forest management approaches: a new conceptual framework and its applicability to European forestry
TL;DR: Five ideal forest management approaches (FMAs) representing a gradient of management intensity are described using specific sets of basic principles that enable comparison across European forests.

TL;DR: In this article, a reference definition of mixed forests is developed to harmonize comparative research in mixed forests and a review of mixed forest research perspectives is presented. But the definition is not applicable to all mixed forests.
Knowledge gaps about mixed forests: What do European forest managers want to know and what answers can science provide?

TL;DR: This article provided the current state of knowledge and future research directions with regards to 10 questions about mixed-forest functioning and management identified and selected by a range of European forest managers during an extensive participatory process.

Climate affects neighbour-induced changes in leaf chemical defences and tree diversity-herbivory relationships
Charlotte Poeydebat,Hervé Jactel,Xoaquín Moreira,Julia Koricheva,Nadia Barsoum,Jürgen Bauhus,Nico Eisenhauer,Olga Ferlian,Marta Francisco,Felix Gottschall,Dominique Gravel,Bill Mason,Evalyne W. Muiruri,Bart Muys,Charles A. Nock,Charles A. Nock,Alain Paquette,Quentin Ponette,Michael Scherer-Lorenzen,Victoria Stokes,Michael Staab,Kris Verheyen,Bastien Castagneyrol +22 more
TL;DR: It is confirmed that tree species diversity can modify the leaf chemistry of a focal species, hence its quality for herbivores, and that tree diversity effects on insect herbivory are partially mediated by changes in leaf chemical defences.
