Stronger influence of anthropogenic disturbance than climate change on century-scale compositional changes in northern forests [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2019 Separating anthropogenic and climatic impacts on forest compositions can be challenging due to a lack of data. Here the authors look at forest compositional changes in eastern Canada since the 19th century and find land use has most strongly shaped ...

Forest productivity mitigates human disturbance effects on late-seral prey exposed to apparent competitors and predators [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2017 Primary production can determine the outcome of management actions on ecosystem properties, thereby defining sustainable management. Yet human agencies commonly overlook spatio-temporal variations in productivity by recommending fixed resource extraction
