People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract While large carnivore expansion is a conservation success, it increasingly challenges pastoralism. Beyond economic value, pastoralism provides critical biodiversity and sociocultural benefits, recognized by the UN and the EU's ‘High Nature Value farming’ designation.

Impact of Deforestation on Streamflow in the Amur River Basin
Geosciences, 2019 In the basin of the Amur River in the Russian Far East, the influence of watershed areas covered by forests on the river basin has a complex nature, and no strict functional dependency has been established yet between these two factors.

Implications of Climate Change for Production and Decomposition in Grasslands and Coniferous Forests
, 1992 A geographical information system, together with a climate—driven, global, regionalized, carbon—budget model, was used to investigate climatic limitations of grassland and coniferous forest vegetation units.

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Under continued climate warming, understanding present‐day permafrost distribution and the controls on ground thaw are critical for predicting permafrost thaw trajectories and associated implications. This study presents a high‐resolution investigation of permafrost extent and active layer thickness (ALT) across a coniferous forested hillslope

Use of canopy gap openings to restore coniferous stands in Mediterranean environment
iForest - Biogeosciences and Forestry, 2017 In Mediterranean regions, climate change increasingly affect tree species distributions. Conifer forests under continuing disturbance show a more rapid shift to dominance by beech and other temperate broadleaves. Thus, there is an urgent need to conserve

Interactions among squirrels, mycorrhizal fungi, and coniferous forests in Oregon
, 1988 We examined the mycophagy (ingestion of fungi) of squirrels of five genera and eight species in the coniferous forests of Oregon. Data from 644 dietary samples demonstrated that squirrels of all eight species are mycophagous and eat the belowground ...

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.ABSTRACT High‐resolution mapping of permafrost in ecologically and topographically complex landscapes remains a major challenge. Existing models of permafrost extent often rely on equilibrium assumptions, which can misrepresent conditions in regions where permafrost persists largely due to ecosystem structure.

The Age and Origin of Block Deposits in the Victorian Alps, Australia
Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Large periglacial block deposits are found in the mountains of southeastern Australia. Despite their widespread distribution, their mode of formation and age are poorly understood. These landforms hold considerable potential to shed light on the nature of cooling during glacial periods. In this paper we present a new study of block deposits in

Occurrence patterns of dead wood and wood-dependent lichens in managed boreal forest landscapes [PDF]
, 2013 Dead wood is a key resource for biodiversity, on which thousands of forest organisms are dependent. Because of current forest management, there has been a large-scale change in dead wood amounts and qualities, and consequently, many wood-dependent ...
