Memories of Trees Past: Coexistence Implications of Legacy Conspecific Density Dependence
Negative density dependence persisted for up to 5 years after tree death, but with interspecific variation. Although stabilising niche differences were large, fitness differences–at the seedling life stage–were often stronger, precluding coexistence. ABSTRACT The Janzen‐Connell Hypothesis posits that plant species diversity is maintained by a reduction

This study revealed that seedling density and functional traits are influenced by changing environmental conditions across different periods of Japanese oak wilt disease disturbance, with key drivers of seedling regeneration varying over time. Abstract Diseases are major natural disturbances to forest ecosystems that cause changes to overstory tree ...

Hidden decay of live trees in a tropical rain forest
Abstract The trunks of forest trees store massive amounts of carbon, but fungi actively and invisibly decay wood inside even seemingly healthy trees. Wood‐decay fungi are responsible for the loss of stored carbon in living trees, and they make trees susceptible to snapping and uprooting in storms.

(Conflict) principles of European (consumer) contract law : an update [PDF]
In April 2003 I commented on the European Commission’s Action Plan on a More Coherent European Contract Law [COM(2003) 68 final] and the Green Paper on the Modernisation of the 1980 Rome Convention [COM(2002) 654 final].1 While the main argument of that ...

Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract We investigated the drivers of interspecific spatial associations among forest woody species by analysing how environmental filtering, hierarchical competition, limiting similarity and colonisation effects shape functional trait distributions and vary with successional ...

Human resource management strategies for small territories : an alternative proposition [PDF]
This paper tackles the issue of educational development from a somewhat different, and still under-explored, perspective: that of human resource management (HRM).

Local Adaptation Drives Leaf Thermoregulation in Tropical Rainforest Trees
We tested whether tropical rainforest trees adjust their leaf traits and resulting leaf temperatures across their distributions within the Australian Wet Tropics. Using field measurements from across a temperature gradient, we modeled leaf–air temperature differences and calculated heat safety margins for three species.
