Climate mitigation by energy and material substitution of wood products has an expiry date KU Leuven
Dynamic seed zones to guide climate-smart seed sourcing for tropical dry forest restoration in Colombia KU Leuven
Tree-based forest landscape restoration interventions require knowledge on the suitability and origin of seed sources and planting material. A common recommendation is to select locally sourced material based on the assumption that it is well adapted to local environmental conditions and to avoid introduction of maladapted genes. However, faced with accelerating climate change, it may be prudent to supplement local provenances with ...
Relative importance of tree species richness, tree functional type, and microenvironment for soil macrofauna communities in European forests KU Leuven
Soil fauna communities are major drivers of many forest ecosystem processes. Tree species diversity and composition shape soil fauna communities, but their relationships are poorly understood, notably whether or not soil fauna diversity depends on tree species diversity. Here, we characterized soil macrofauna communities from forests composed of either one or three tree species, located in four different climate zones and growing on different ...

Faune et flore de la Forêt de Soignes KU Leuven
La Forêt de Soignes est reconnue comme site patrimoine mondial de l'Unesco ''Forêts primaires et anciennes de hêtres''. Un beau titre pour une forêt déjà mentionnée dans les chartes en latin du Xlle siècle. Cette vaste forêt était le terrain de chasse préféré des ducs et des princes à travers les siècles. Malgré un lotissement suivie d'une déforestation à grande échelle dans les années 1830, la forêt urbaine de Bruxelles s'êtend toujours sur ...
Fauna and flora of the Sonian Forest KU Leuven
The Sonian Forest has been recognised as part of the Unesco World Heritage site 'Ancient and Primeval Beech Forests'. An attractive title for a forest that has never been under agriculture and was already mentioned in charters dating back to the 12th century. For centuries it was a major source of wood and game. Despite land sales followed by large-scale deforestation in the 1830's, this wooded area on the outskirts of Brussels sill covers more ...
