ENVIRONMENTAL VARIABLES ASSOCIATED WITH INVASIVE GLOSSY BUCKTHORN (FRANGULA ALNUS MILL.) AND INDIRECT CONTROL STRATEGIES FOR FOREST MANAGERS [PDF]
Glossy buckthorn (Frangula alnus Mill.) is one of the most prominent non-native invasive plant species affecting New England forests. It quickly invades a forest and can create a dense understory effectively altering the species composition and dynamics

ABSTRACT Irradiance strongly affects the morphology, carbon (C) uptake and construction costs of leaves and branches. Within tree crowns, light decreases from the top downwards, but whether this translates to differences in the C balance of sun and shade branches remains unclear. Here, we combined a light‐driven photosynthesis model, parameterised with

ABSTRACT Forest ecosystem services (ESs) are garnering increasing public attention as awareness grows regarding society's fundamental dependence on them for well‐being. Forest fires, one of the major disturbances of ESs, are becoming more frequent and destructive, exacerbated in part by climate change.

Quantifying the Rapid Propagation of Rainfall and Evapotranspiration Signals Into Soils
Abstract Precipitation and evapotranspiration are major drivers of soil moisture dynamics, which in turn influence plant water availability, biogeochemical reactions, and trace gas emissions. However, it has been unclear whether evapotranspiration signals propagate through soil columns differently than precipitation signals do.

Living \u3cem\u3eMore Than\u3c/em\u3e Just Enough for the City: Persistence of High-Quality Vegetation in Natural Areas in an Urban Setting [PDF]
Urban environments pose special challenges to flora, including altered disturbance regimes, habitat fragmentation, and increased opportunity for invasion by non-native species. In addition, urban natural area represents most people’s contact with nature,

Aggregation of Modified Glucuronoxylan in Water and DMSO
Neutron scattering study of dispersibility of glucuronoxylan and modified glucuronoxylan, in water and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). ABSTRACT Glucuronoxylans are known to be only partly soluble in aqueous media. Chemical modification often aims to improve solubility, yet observations of aggregation even of the modified xylans are not uncommon.

An Ecological Dipole in North American Mast‐Eating Small Mammal Dynamics
Ecological dipoles are patterns in plant and animal indices of opposite extremes, and many ecological dipoles may exist. We discovered a novel ecological dipole in seed‐eating small mammals in North America using spatial analyses. We also tested for associations between climate variables and small mammal synchrony, and found that site proximity as well
