A comparison of presettlement and modern forest composition along an elevation gradient in central New Hampshire [PDF]
, 2011 Tree species composition is influenced not only by edaphic and climatic factors but also by natural and human-caused disturbances. To understand interactions among these influences, we compared forest species composition data from the time of European ...

Why HR Has Failed to Address Healthcare's Workforce Crisis: The Need for a Systems Partner Role
Human Resource Management Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Attempts to remedy sustained workforce challenges facing healthcare organizations globally have been largely ineffective, despite increased political attention. In this paper we draw on contextually based human resource theory to explain why these challenges remain intractable.

Climate Change Impairs Nitrogen Cycling in European Beech Forests.
PLoS ONE, 2016 European beech forests growing on marginal calcareous soils have been proposed to be vulnerable to decreased soil water availability. This could result in a large-scale loss of ecological services and economical value in a changing climate.

Tests for attraction to prey and predator avoidance by chemical cues in spiders of the beech forest floor [PDF]
, 2012 Spiders leave draglines, faeces and other secretions behind when traveling through their microhabitat. The presence of these secretions may unintentionally inform other animals, prey as well as predators, about a recent and possible current predation ...

Warm Spring Weather Alters Calling Phenology of Four Sympatric Early‐Breeding Anurans
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.An unusually warm March in 2024 (“false spring”) followed by freezing temperatures allowed us to assess the impact of a weather event on an amphibian community. The calling activity of all four species was associated with increasing temperature, and the first date of calling was advanced by 11–18 days.

Network Structure and the Efficiency Gains from Mergers: Evidence from U.S. Freight Railroads
The RAND Journal of Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The trade‐off between market power and efficiency gains is central to antitrust analyses of mergers, but empirical evidence quantifying efficiencies remains limited. Using transaction‐level data from U.S. freight railroads (1985–2005), this article quantifies merger‐induced cost efficiencies, driven mainly by eliminating inter‐railroad ...

Conspecific negative density dependence in American beech
Forest Ecosystems, 2017 Background One of the most important drivers of forest biodiversity is conspecific negative density dependence (CNDD), a reduction in performance when conspecific densities are high.

Volatile organic compounds emitted from fungal-rotting beech (Fagus sylvatica) [PDF]
, 2008 Chemo-communication is an important mode of interaction within ecosystem. The living organism in the ecosystem can deliver signals to conspecifics, to co-organisms, and unintentionally to their enemies, by emitting the volatile organic compounds (VOCs ...

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract An understanding of habitat use and levels of active behaviour is foundational to wildlife behaviour, ecology, conservation and management. These variables are commonly measured by tracking individuals in space and time using biologging. In principle, camera‐trap data also contain information about both activity level and habitat use; however,

Some effective environmental factors on beech scale (Cryptococcus fagisuga lindinger) density on oriental beech (Fagus orientalis lipsky) (Case study: Kheyrud Forest) [PDF]
مجله جنگل ایران, 2017 In order to study the beech scale and some of the effective environmental factors on beech scale density on eastern beech trees, after field inspection, 10 hectare of infected beech stands were specified in low-, mid- and high lands of Kheyrud forest. At
