Reconciling intrinsic and ecosystem water-use efficiency reveals physiological mechanisms underlying carbon-water coupling across biological scales

The paper investigates carbon-water coupling by analyzing water-use efficiency metrics across biological scales in a forest, finding discrepancies between model and observational data.

Climate change threatens the productivity stability of Italian forests

The paper uses a process-based model to assess climate impacts on Italian forest productivity and carbon dynamics under different emission scenarios.

Investigating climate-phenology relationships among the most common Italian forest species using Sentinel-2-derived vegetation phenology and productivity products

This study examines climate-phenology relationships in Italian forest species using remote sensing and machine learning, finding growing season lengthening and species-specific responses to climate factors.

Natural and planted forests differ in the mechanisms regulating productivity and stability

The paper compares productivity and stability between natural and planted forests, finding natural forests more productive and stable, with different drivers in each type.

Integrating Earth Observation and Graph Theory to Evaluate Urban Green Spaces Connectivity Across European Capitals

This study evaluates urban green spaces connectivity in 28 European capitals using Earth observation and graph theory, finding that network metrics better capture functional connectivity than traditional metrics.

Small Area Estimation of Forest Volume Using Mixed Effects Random Forests and Multi-Source Remote Sensing Data

This paper compares two methods for estimating forest volume in small areas using remote sensing data, finding that Mixed-Effects Random Forests provide more accurate and stable predictions than Empirical Best Predictor.

Decadal climate-driven decoupling between gross primary productivity and tree growth in Mediterranean forests

The paper uses a mechanistic model to show decoupling between summer gross primary productivity and tree growth in Mediterranean forests, driven by climate variability and forest legacy.

R3DFEM: an R package for running the 3D-CMCC-FEM model

The paper introduces an R package called R3DFEM to simplify the use of the 3D-CMCC-FEM model for simulating forest ecosystem processes.

Enhancing ecosystem service provision through the silvicultural management of European black pine stands from afforestation and reforestation

This study evaluates the impact of thinning intensity and frequency on ecosystem services in European black pine stands, finding that non-provisioning services benefit from longer intervals and that aesthetic and carbon values exceed timber production.

Assessing the combined effects of forest management and climate change on carbon and water fluxes in European beech forests

This study evaluates how climate change and forest management affect carbon and water fluxes in European beech forests using two process-based models across different sites and climate scenarios.

Impacts Of Deforestation And Land Use/Land Cover Change On Carbon Stock And Dynamics In The Jomoro District, Ghana

This study quantifies carbon stock loss in Jomoro District, Ghana, after deforestation and land use change, showing significant losses across all land uses compared to primary forest.

Predicted Future Changes in the Mean Seasonal Carbon Cycle Due to Climate Change

The paper uses a model to predict how climate change will reduce forests' ability to act as carbon sinks, despite increasing days of carbon uptake in some forests.

Stand Age and Climate Change Effects on Carbon Increments and Stock Dynamics

The paper simulates carbon stock and increment dynamics in forests of different ages under climate change scenarios, finding greater age-related differences than climate scenario differences.
