Wood-inhabiting fungi on pedunculate oak coarse woody debris in relation to substratum quantity and forest age

Acta Mycologica, 2013
Wood-inhabiting fungi on pedunculate oak (Quercus robur) coarse woody debris (CWD) was investigated in 50 plots of 0.1 ha in oak stands of different ages in Lithuania.

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 ...

Points vs. passes: A comparison between electric fishing techniques for sampling fish populations in upland headwater streams

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Point‐abundance sampling by electric fishing (PASE) was compared with single‐pass (DF1) and triple‐pass depletion sampling (DF3) electric fishing on the same reaches of four headwater streams sampled over multiple years in the Ribble catchment, UK. Juvenile salmonids, mostly brown trout Salmo trutta with some Atlantic salmon S.

Annual dynamics of plant litter calcium and magnesium stocks in a subtropical forest headwater stream

Soil and Water Research
Forest headwater streams serve as critical interfaces between terrestrial forests and downstream aquatic ecosystems, playing essential roles in the storage and movement of carbon (C) and nutrients.

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 ...

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

Current 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 ...

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

Ecosphere, 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.

Effects of restoration on macrophyte and macroinvertebrate ecological status and biodiversity in lowland streams in Denmark

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Habitat restoration is applied to promote ecological recovery in degraded freshwater systems. However, it remains unclear whether stream restoration measures enhance Water Framework Directive (WFD) ecological status and biodiversity.

Differential growth dynamics of common salt marsh species Spartina alterniflora and Juncus roemerianus under varied sediment amendments

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Many coastal wetlands are at high risk of degradation or loss due to sea‐level rise. Restoration techniques for maintaining coastal marshes are paramount, with thin‐layer placement (TLP) emerging as one feasible solution. Despite TLP's utilization, additional research is needed on species‐ and sediment‐specific responses ...

Limited effects of structural restoration on ecosystem functioning in an urban tropical stream

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Hydromorphological restoration through structural interventions is commonly used to mitigate urbanization impacts on lotic freshwater systems, but their effects on ecosystem functioning in urban tropical streams remain unexplored.
