Ecography, EarlyView.Litter decomposition in mountainous forest ecosystems is an essential process that affects carbon and nutrient cycling. However, the contribution of litter decomposition to terrestrial ecosystems is difficult to estimate accurately because of the limited comparability of different studies and limited data on local microclimatic and non‐climatic factors.

Landscape and Geography Determine Saproxylic Beetle Captures in Pheromone‐Baited Traps
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.Pheromone‐baited traps at 39 forest sites across southern Sweden captured 58 saproxylic beetle species, including seven Red‐listed taxa. The effect of surrounding forest cover on beetle abundance may depend on latitude and longitude: positive effects were strongest in warmer southern and eastern regions but weakened or reversed in colder northwestern ...

Ibis, EarlyView.Fine‐scale genetic structure in animal populations can create opportunities for both kin‐directed co‐operation and kin competition. Knowledge of kinship is therefore key to understanding the selective pressures shaping sociality as well as the effects of social behaviour on local genetic structure.

Ibis, EarlyView.Human‐induced environmental change is reshaping plant communities, requiring native animals to adapt their foraging behaviour to track and exploit novel food resources. Trees such as pines (Pinus spp.) introduced for plantation forestry outside of their native ranges often become naturalized.

Tree growth response and adaptation to climate change and climate extremes: From canopy to stem
Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.This review synthesizes the responses and adaptations of tree growth, including canopy phenology, intra‐annual wood formation dynamics, and annual stem growth, to climate change and climate extremes. It highlights key knowledge gaps for future research to support sustainable forest management and enhance forest carbon storage under ongoing climate ...

Silvicultural systems for broadleaved woodland in Britain
, 2016 Conventional clear-felling and replanting is increasingly being recognised as inappropriate for those broadleaved woodlands which have a high value for landscape, amenity and for nature conservation. This prompted an investigation into 'non-plantation', 'uneven-aged' and 'irregular' silvicultural systems, which are, or could be, used in Britain.

Classification of crown density and foliage transparency scale for broadleaf tree using VGG-16
, 2023 Crown density and foliage transparency are important parameters for tree crown conditions. Previously, observers carried out crown density and foliage transparency assessments manually, which could be a less efficient process.This research aims to use ...

The Capital–Labour–State Dynamics of Herbicide Adoption in Rainfed India
Journal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper engages debates around the capital–labour–state dynamics of agrarian transitions to address the oft‐studied but still little‐understood question of why farmers adopt herbicides when they do. Over the last several years, smallholder farmers in India have begun using the herbicide bispyribac sodium at breakneck speeds, particularly in
