Post-drought Resilience After Forest Die-Off: Shifts in Regeneration, Composition, Growth and Productivity

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2018
A better understanding on the consequences of drought on forests can be reached by paying special attention to their resilience capacity, i.e., the ability to return to a state similar to pre-drought conditions. Nevertheless, extreme droughts may surpass

A Multidisciplinary Study of Wild Grapevines in the River Crati Natural Reserve, South Italy (Calabria): Implications in Conservation Biology and Palaeoecological Reconstructions

open access: yesQuaternary, 2023
Nowadays, wild grapevine populations are quite limited and sporadic mainly due to habitat destruction, land-use change, and the spread of pathogens that have reduced their distribution range.

A restoration strategy to promote tree establishment in mining‐polluted rocky outcrops using bryophytes

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Introduction Mining activities can lead to the formation of degraded, barren, or metal‐contaminated ecosystems. Resource‐poor ecosystems such as rocky outcrops are more sensitive to mining degradation, and their natural regeneration can be challenging due to soil erosion, lack of resources or seeds, and soil acidification.

Greening on the Bathurst caribou range in northern Canada: are erect shrubs responsible for remotely sensed trends?

open access: yesArctic Science, 2023
Remote sensing has detected recent trends of increased vegetation productivity on the Bathurst caribou herd’s range. The cause of this spectral greening is unknown but is hypothesized to be the result of a change in the composition, establishment ...
