Samenvatting

Climate change negatively impacts forests in terms of reduced vitality, productivity loss and sometimes even die-back (Allen et al., 2010). In Europe, these impacts are magnified by the species-poor, even-aged characteristics of many contemporary forests. To combat these effects, mixed-species forest might offer a solution. Certain interactions between tree species can positively influence resilience against climate caused stress-events (Schnabel et al., 2021).
