Long-term effects of forest management on post-drought growth resilience: An analytical framework

Angela Manrique-Alba et al.

Summary: Thinning was found to enhance radial growth, reduce dependence on previous-year growth and climate conditions, and improve drought resistance and resilience while reducing recovery speed. The thinning legacy effect persisted for up to 15 to 20 years, making pine plantations less vulnerable to extreme climate events like droughts.

A global synthesis on the effects of thinning on hydrological processes: Implications for forest management

Antonio D. del Campo et al.

Summary: Forest thinning has significant effects on hydrological processes, but these effects vary depending on forest types, climate, thinning intensity, and hydrological variables. Thinning increases net precipitation, soil moisture, and tree-level water use, but decreases stemflow and transpiration. Thinning intensity of around 50% of stand density is the threshold for significant impact on hydrological processes.

Long-term growth effects of simulated-drought, mid-rotation fertilization, and thinning on a loblolly pine plantation in southeastern Oklahoma, USA

Noah T. Shephard et al.

Summary: The study found that drought, fertilization, and thinning all have significant impacts on the productivity of loblolly pine plantations. While drought tends to decrease diameter and height growth, fertilization can counteract these effects by increasing foliar nutrient concentrations. Thinning also has positive effects on growth, especially in combination with fertilization treatments.

Climate sensitivity and drought seasonality determine post-drought growth recovery of Quercus petraea and Quercus robur in Europe

Arun K. Bose et al.

Summary: Recent studies have shown a strong relationship between delayed recovery of tree growth after drought and subsequent tree mortality, especially with the projected increase in drought frequency and intensity. The growth of trees is more influenced by precipitation and climatic water balance rather than temperature, and the recovery after drought varies depending on the season and climatic factors.
