abstract: "Why structurally diverse forests outperform monocultures: Pretzsch & Schuetze 2009 (mixed-stand overyielding up to 59%, site-dependent), Jactel & Brockerhoff 2007 (associational resistance, 119-study meta-analysis), Jactel/Scherer-Lorenzen et al. 2025 (real MyDiv bark-beetle field evidence, Germany), Bosela et al. 2025 (drought/carbon resilience, 24-yr Slovakia paired comparison), and Obladen et al. 2021 (the honesty check: beech also dies in drought, ~7% vs spruce's ~50%, just far less). Deliberately includes a finding that complicates its own headline narrative. No UTAC/CREP/AFET bridge. GenesisAeon P113."
