Responses of Soil Arthropod Communities to Varying Shading Levels in Agriphotovoltaic Systems

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Soil fauna was primarily influenced by crop type and season rather than AgriPhotovoltaic (APV) panels. Elevated panels increased soil temperature and soil organic matter in early wheat stages, while shading enhanced soil moisture for tomatoes, benefiting moisture‐sensitive taxa.

Temporal and spatial variation of broadleaf forest flammability in boreal Alaska [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Thesis (M.S.) University of Alaska Fairbanks, 2018The boreal forest is a carbon reservoir containing roughly 40% of the world's reactive soil carbon, which is mainly cycled by wildland fires.

Sanitation felling against the European spruce bark beetle: A matter of intensity and forest type Tagli fitosanitari contro il bostrico tipografo: una questione di intensità e tipologia forestale

open access: yesAgricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
We assess the effect of sanitation felling performed in 2022 in North‐Eastern Italy on bark beetle damage that occurred in 2023 across eight spruce forest types, as evaluated using multispectral satellite imagery. Bark beetle damage was reduced only at very high or very low sanitation felling rates.

Mixing with native broadleaf trees modified soil microbial communities of Cunninghamia lanceolata monocultures in South China

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology
Mixing with different broadleaf trees into the monocultures of Cunninghamia lanceolata is widely adopted as an efficient transformation of the pure C. lanceolata forest.

Environmental drivers influencing the ambrosia beetle community: The primary role of geographic and climatic drivers in chestnut‐growing areas

open access: yesAgricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Ethanol‐baited traps were placed in cultivated chestnut orchards (a) and mixed environments with assorted tree composition (b), over a 2‐year monitoring period in two valleys (NW Italy). A total of 118,286 ambrosia beetles was collected, representing six species.

Effects of restoration practices on biodiversity in temperate and boreal forests

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Several restoration practices are used to mitigate and compensate for the negative effects of large‐scale forestry on biodiversity in temperate and boreal forests. A comprehensive synthesis of the benefits of these practices across taxa is missing. We conducted a systematic review and meta‐analysis on this topic.

Are the ecological and human dimensions of a national park reconcilable? Addressing visitors' preferences for conservation programs

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
The human dimension must be considered in conservation actions. This article presents a discrete choice experiment that analyses the preferences of visitors for the conservation programs being developed in a National Park. The experiment allows identifying certain conflicts between the ecological and social dimensions, and the conclusion is that there ...

Using information theory to select spatial scales for species-habitat responses with camera traps. [PDF]

open access: yesEcol Appl
Abstract Widespread anthropogenic landscape change, particularly from energy development, has fundamentally reshaped ecosystems, and understanding species responses remains a central ecological challenge. Remote camera traps are widely used to estimate mammal abundance and distribution, but inferring species–habitat relationships from these data is ...

Contrasting Effects of Broadleaf Thinning Treatments on Spruce Growth in Central British Columbia, Canada

open access: yes
As forest managers increasingly seek to develop and maintain mixedwood forests, more information is required on the potential facilitative and competitive interactions between tree species. We present data from a broadleaf thinning study established in a
