Purpose of Review Forests play a crucial role in carbon sequestration and storage, yet uncertainty remains about carbon stocks and sequestration differences between managed and unmanaged forests, which has resulted in considerable scientific and policy debate. This review synthesizes European evidence comparing managed and unmanaged forests addressing three questions: (1) what are the differences in carbon stock and sequestrat...

Understanding genetic responses to forest dynamics is essential for predicting the long‐term viability of understory plant populations and for developing effective conservation strategies. We investigated genetic extinction debt and colonization credit in broad‐leaved enchanter's nightshade ( Circaea lutetiana ), a clonal forest understory species, across its European range. Using pooled genotype‐by‐sequencing data from 40 for...
