  • Effects of forest management on the dynamics of forest structural complexity and their impacts on forest microclimate

    Open AccessKim K Weißing, Katharina Willim et al.ARTICLETrees Forests and People2026

    Many current management approaches in temperate European forests aim to promote forest structural complexity. Yet, the dynamics of three-dimensional forest structure under different silvicultural systems and their impacts on forest microclimate remain unexplored. Here, we quantified the temporal dynamics of forest structural complexity in differently managed and unmanaged European beech ( Fagus sylvatica L.) forests (n=100) over nine years by usi…

  • Drivers of Forest Structural Complexity in Mountain Forests of Nepal

    Open AccessPrakash Basnet, Smita Das et al.ARTICLEMountain Research and Development2025

    Forests in the Himalayan region are crucial for maintaining the region's ecological balance, conserving biodiversity, and supporting the livelihoods of local people. However, because of limited accessibility and an adverse climate, scientific studies on how forest functions in this region depend on ecological drivers are rare. We used a handheld mobile laser scanner to assess the forest structural complexity (FSC) in the Annapurna Conservation Ar…
