Aims The productivity of forest plantations in temperate areas is often lim-ited by nitrogen(N),but may shift towards phosphorus(P)limitation with increasing atmospheric N deposition.Nutrient resorption is a nutrient ...
Aims We conducted a simulated nitrogen(N)and sulfur(S)deposition experi-ment from 2006 to 2012 to answer the following questions:(i)does chronic N and S deposition decrease cation concentrations in the soil and foliag...
Aims Silvicultural management plays a major role in shaping understory diversity through its action on stand structure.in many parts of Europe,recent socioeconomic changes have led to the progressive abandonment of co...
