High functional diversity is related to high nitrogen availability in a deciduous forest - evidence from a functional trait approach [PDF]
, 2010 The current study tested the assumption that floristic and functional diversity patterns are negatively related to soil nitrogen content. We analyzed 20 plots with soil N-contents ranging from 0.63% to 1.06% in a deciduous forest near Munich (Germany ...

Living on the edge: Habitat characteristics of northern myotis at the periphery of its distribution
The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.Northern myotis selected tall trees with minimal decay, in patches with other roosting options. In our study area, these trees occurred in narrow bands within an agricultural matrix, differing from contiguous forest at the core of the species' distribution. Nevertheless, bats selected the tallest trees in the densest patches available.

Prunus serotina unleashed: invader dominance after 70 years of forest development [PDF]
, 2009 Propagule pressure and disturbance have both been found to facilitate invasion. Therefore, knowledge on the history of introduction and disturbance is vital for understanding an invasion process, and research should focus on areas in which the invasive ...

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.We synthesize the current knowledge regarding caribou habitat selection in relation to wildfires. Caribou responses to recent burns were generally weak and highly variable across subspecies or ecotypes, suggesting that post‐fire habitat selection is likely context‐dependent and the need for regionally adapted habitat management strategies.

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.Snowshoe hare population densities in Pennsylvania were greatest in early‐successional forest and densely‐understoried mature forest. Forest management that increases and maintains the amount of early‐successional forest, or that increases understory complexity in mature forest, would benefit snowshoe hares and may mitigate population declines under ...

The impact of herbivores on the natural regeneration of temperate deciduous woodland [PDF]
, 1999 Many studies have reported deficient or intermittent patterns of natural regeneration in temperate deciduous woodland. The present study aimed to assess the relative impact of herbivore-mediated plant mortality on the natural regeneration dynamics of ...

Influence of root distribution on preferential flow in deciduous and coniferous forest soils
, 2019 Root-induced channels are the primary controlling factors for rapid movement of water and solute in forest soils. To explore the effects of root distribution on preferential flow during rainfall events, deciduous (Quercus variabilis BI.) and coniferous ...

A strategic method for expanding the Pacific Flyway Motus network
The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.We identified high‐use areas of the Pacific Flyway by state where new Motus receiving stations would have the highest probability of detecting multiple tagged avian species of interest with the highest certainty. Abstract Understanding the movement and survival of birds of conservation concern during migration is critical for guiding conservation ...
