More ways than one: Mixed-severity disturbance regimes foster structural complexity via multiple developmental pathways
Original language description
Mixed-severity disturbance regimes are prevalent in temperate forests worldwide, but key uncertainties remain regarding the variability of disturbance-mediated structural development pathways. This study investigates the influence of disturbance history on current structure in primary, unmanaged Norway spruce (Picea abies) forests throughout the Carpathian Mountains of central and eastern Europe, where windstorms and native bark beetle outbreaks are the dominant natural disturbances. We inventoried forest structure on 453 plots (0,1 ha) spanning a large geographical gradient ( more than 1,000 km), coring 15-25 canopy trees per plot for disturbance history reconstruction (tree core total n = 11,309). Our specific objectives were to: (1) classify sub-hectare-scale disturbance history based on disturbance timing and severity, (2) classify current forest structure based on tree size distributions (live, dead, standing, downed), (3) characterize structural development pathways as revealed by the associati
