Abstract Changes in climate and biodiversity are widely recognized as primary global change drivers of ecosystem structure functioning, also affecting services provided to human populations. Increasing plant diversity not only enhances functioning stability but mitigates effects buffers extreme weather conditions, yet the underlying mechanisms remain largely unclear. Recent studies have shown that can mitigate (e.g. reduce temperature fluctuations or drought through microclimatic effects) different compartments focal ecosystem, which such may contribute effect on properties functioning. However, these potential diversity‐induced microclimate sufficiently understood. Here, we explored consequences modulation modification by for a mechanism contributing documented biodiversity–ecosystem (BEF) relationships, using combination theoretical simulation approaches. We focused diverse set response variables at various levels integration ranging from ecosystem‐level carbon exchange soil enzyme activity, including population dynamics activity specific organisms. demonstrated vegetation layer composed many species has influence thus mitigating negative impacts extremes Integrating processes temperature, humidity light modulation) BEF relationships is promising avenue improve our understanding better predict future structure, services. In addition, management monitoring should be seen tool practitioners adapt ecosystems change.

ABSTRACT Increasing durations and frequencies of droughts under climate change endanger the sustainable functioning forests worldwide. The admixture species with complementary resource use may increase resilience towards drought; however, little is known about modifications interactions ( i.e . facilitation competition) by increasing drought severity in mixed forests. In particular, knowledge on regulation central ecohydrological processes, such as tree water fluxes, lacking. Therefore, we conducted a literature review to assess impact (resistance + recovery) severity. classification studies into three classes suggested that beneficial interactions, through improved relations, were prevalent mild droughts. However, drought, negative effects, interspecific competition, occurred. These prominent extreme droughts, where even trees resource‐use strategies competed for resources. Fewer data are available recovery fluxes. limited evidence supported patterns observed resistance, complementarity mixtures enhancing after moderate competition effects reduced some observed, which can strongly compromise resilience. While acknowledge importance biodiversity, ecosystem services or pest caution shift Thus, there an urgent need investigate interaction more depth adapt forest stress.

Forest covers 4.06 billion hectares (ha) or 31% of the total land area worldwide, where 93% (3.75 ha) are natural regenerating forests and remaining 7% (294 million planted forests. Eucalyptus spp., being one most important plantation species, has been in 95 countries around world, exceeded 22.57 ha. In southern hemisphere, it is a significant industrial fast-growing tree species. These plantations serve as valuable resource for timber fibre-based industries. main fibre pulp paper industries developed countries. Timber extracted from eucalyptus trees long used solid wood its fibres were manufacturing medium-density fibreboard. comparison to softwood reported have higher rigidity, making ideal structural products. Therefore, this presents review analysis recent state research on utilisation engineered products (EWPs) manufacturing. This study investigated Eucalyptus-based EWPs such particleboard, fibreboard, oriented strand board, laminated veneer lumber, plywood, glue cross-laminated lumber. The feasibility using production EWPs, well challenges encountered, was also discussed.

First, identification actions promotion ownership across stakeholders recognize multiple values account remote responsibility. Second, cross‐sectorial mainstreaming should adopt scalable multifunctional ecosystem restoration approaches target positive futures nature people. Third, assessment progress adaptive management can be informed novel monitoring modeling handling multidimensionality change.

Planting new forests has received scientific and political attention as a measure to mitigate climate change. Large, have been planted in places like China Ethiopia and, over time, billion hectares could become available globally for planting forests. Sustainable management of forests, which are wood production, less despite these covering at least two globally. Better existing would improve forest growth help change by increasing the carbon (C) stock, storing C products, generating wood-based materials substituting fossil based or other CO2-emission-intensive materials. Some published research assumes trade-off between timber harvested from stock those ecosystems, asserting that both cannot increase simultaneously. We tested this assumption using uniquely detailed inventory data Finland, Norway Sweden, hereafter denoted northern Europe. focused on period 1960 – 2017, saw little total area covered At start period, rotational forestry practices began diffuse, eventually replacing selective felling systems most common practice. Looking we find significant increases pulp harvests, accelerated. Over study ecosystems Europe increased nearly 70%, while annual harvests about 40% same period. This was close par with CO2-emissions region (other greenhouse gases not included).
