TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the use of principles from disturbance ecology and natural stand development to create silvicultural approaches that are more aligned with natural processes, including the role of disturbances in creating structural legacies that become key elements of the post-disturbance stands.

TL;DR: In this article, ground-based measurements of stores, growth, mortality, litterfall, respiration, and decomposition were conducted in an old-growth forest at Wind River Experimental Forest, Washington, USA.

TL;DR: The Wind River old-growth forest as discussed by the authors is a 500-year-old Douglas-fir-western hemlock forest of moderate to low productivity at 371m elevation on a less than 10% slope.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used heat and deuterated water (D 2 O) as tracers to characterize whole-tree water transport and storage properties in individual trees belonging to the coniferous species Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco and Tsuga heterophylla (Raf.) Sarg.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used satellite remote sensing data and eddy flux measurements and biogeochemical models, such as the Terrestrial Ecosystem Model (TEM), to provide a more adequate quantification of carbon dynamics of terrestrial ecosystems.
