The Ecology of Disturbance Interactions [PDF]

BioScience, 2020
AbstractGlobal change has been accompanied by recent increases in the frequency and intensity of various ecological disturbances (e.g., fires, floods, cyclones), both natural and anthropogenic in origin. Because these disturbances often interact, their cumulative and synergistic effects can result in unforeseen consequences, such as insect outbreaks ...

Contribution to the Knowledge of Fungi of the Kampinos National Park (Central Poland): Part 6 – With Particular Emphasis on the Species Occurring on Windthrown Areas

Acta Mycologica, 2022
We identified 17 species of fungi that are new to Kampinos National Park. Sixteen were found during surveys of areas damaged by a strong wind in 2017. The remaining species was found outside the windthrow area. Descriptions of four species new to Poland (

Effects of temporal variability of disturbance on the succession in marine fouling communities in northern-central Chile [PDF]

, 2007
We investigated the effects of temporal variability in a disturbance regime on fouling communities at two study sites in a northern-central Chilean bay. Fouling assemblages grown on artificial settlement substrata were disturbed by mechanical removal of ...

Can forest management based on natural disturbances maintain ecological resilience? [PDF]

, 2006
Given the increasingly global stresses on forests, many ecologists argue that managers must maintain ecological resilience: the capacity of ecosystems to absorb disturbances without undergoing fundamental change.
