Past failures of monocultures, caused by wind-throw or insect damages, and ongoing climate
change currently strongly stimulate research into mixed-species stands. So far, the focus …

Tree species mixing has been widely promoted as a promising silvicultural tool for reducing
drought stress. However, so far only a limited number of species combinations have been …

Quercus robur/Quercus petraea and Pinus sylvestris are widely distributed and economically
important tree species in Europe co-occurring on mesotrophic, xeric and mesic sites. …

The increasing disturbances in monocultures around the world are testimony to their instability
under global change. Many studies have claimed that temporal stability of productivity …

Strategic resource control poses a trade-off to attackers and defenders. Actions that reclaim
control of a resource pose costs, but control of a resource by an adversary also poses costs. …

One of the main ideas of non-native tree species introduction into forest stands is to replace
declining native species. The same is also valid for industry; the wood of native species …

Heterogeneity of structure can increase mechanical stability, stress resistance and resilience,
biodiversity and many other functions and services of forest stands. That is why many …

Computational game theory has many applications in the modern world in both adversarial
situations and the optimization of social good. While there exist many algorithms for …

Plant growth is affected by light availability, light capture, and the efficiency of light energy
utilisation within the photosynthetic uptake processes. The radiation use efficiency (RUE) of …

Leaf area index (LAI) is one of the most important characteristics of forest stands that affects
the fundamentals of tree physiological processes, biomass production, and mechanical …
