Tropical dry forest recovery : processes and causes of change

open access: yes, 2009
Seasonally dry areas are one of the preferred zones for human inhabitance in the tropics. Large forest areas are converted to other land uses and many are covered by secondary forests that grow naturally after cessation of disturbance.

A Statistical‐Process Hybridized Approach to Modeling Permafrost Distribution in a Boreal Wetland Ecosystem, Whatì, NT, Canada

open access: yesPermafrost 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.

Tracing vegetation changes through the testimony of early settlers: A spatio-temporal analysis of plant-based place names as ecological evidence

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Conservation
This study presents a spatio-temporal analysis of phytotoponyms as indicators of historical vegetation change in the Silesian region, focusing on correlations between toponym density and both current and natural forest cover. Using geographic information
