Habitat relationships of reptiles in pine beetle disturbed forests of Alabama, U.S.A. with guidelines for a modified drift-fence sampling method

open access: yesCurrent Zoology, 2010
Understanding vertebrate habitat relationships is important to promote management strategies for the longterm conservation of many species. Using a modified drift fence method, we sampled reptiles and compared habitat variables within the William B ...

Spatial Pattern of Living Woody and Coarse Woody Debris in Warm-Temperate Broad-Leaved Secondary Forest in North China

open access: yesPlants
The investigation into the spatial distribution of living woody (LWD) and coarse woody debris (CWD) within forests represents a fundamental methodology for probing the inherent mechanisms governing coexistence and mortality within forest ecosystems. Here,

Effects of habitat disturbance on physiological metrics of deer mice (Peromyscus sonoriensis)

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract The effect of anthropogenic disturbance on wildlife physiology has been understudied and has produced inconsistent results. While some species appear unable to tolerate disturbance and disappear from disturbed areas, others seem able to persist, although it may be physiologically costly.

Distribution of observations by field- and model-based estimates of coarse woody debris C density.

open access: yes, 2013
Model-based estimates of coarse woody debris carbon density are calculated using live tree carbon density. Observations without estimates of live tree carbon will not have an estimate of coarse woody debris carbon for pieces.

Burning the legacy? Influence of wildfire reburn on dead wood dynamics in a temperate conifer forest

open access: yesEcosphere, 2016
Dynamics of dead wood, a key component of forest structure, are not well described for mixed‐severity fire regimes with widely varying fire intervals.

Climatic rainfall regime shapes energy flow, trophic structure, and secondary production in streams

open access: yesEcology, Volume 107, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Changes in precipitation patterns linked to climate change have profound implications for the structuring and functioning of riverine ecosystems. This study investigates how rainfall influences secondary production by examining nine rivers across a sharp natural rainfall gradient over 3 years.

Nitrogen dynamics 35 years after stand‐replacing fire: Aboveground pools grow as surface soil pools remain unchanged

open access: yesEcology, Volume 107, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Natural disturbances induce variable recovery pathways, and long‐term studies are key to understanding how that variability affects ecosystem function over time and across space. In subalpine forests, high‐severity wildfires produce high variability in postfire tree density, but how this variability relates to nitrogen (N) cycling remains ...

Boreal forest coarse woody debris survey data

open access: yes, 2014
These are the 2007 survey data reported by Bond-Lamberty and Gower (2008), "Decay and fragmentation of coarse woody debris: revisiting a boreal black spruce chronosequence" in Ecosystems 11(6):831-840. Site codes and survey protocol are described in this

Insect communities of late Pleistocene steppe–tundra and Holocene boreal forest ecosystems in central Yukon Territory, Canada

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, Volume 41, Issue 7, Page 1178-1199, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Subfossil insect communities from the Quartz Creek site provide a detailed record of both Late Pleistocene steppe–tundra and Holocene boreal forest ecosystems in central Yukon Territory, Canada. Fifteen Pleistocene assemblages (marine isotope stages [MIS] 4 to 2) are dominated by steppe–tundra and dry‐tundra taxa, particularly the weevils ...

An integrated approach to assessing, managing and monitoring campsite impacts in Warren National Park, Western Australia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
The social and ecological impacts of camping were examined in Warren National Park, Western Australia. The main objective was to apply an integrated approach to assessing campsite degradation and feed this information into a management and monitoring ...
