Ecology and Disturbances in Bryophytes
IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 2021 Abstract Bryophytes is a non vascular plant that has many benefits. However, the population and diversity of its kind experienced a significant decline. This decrease is caused by several factors such as deforestation, forest fragmentation, air and soil pollution and climate change.

Resistance and resilience of social–ecological systems to recurrent typhoon disturbance on a subtropical island: Taiwan [PDF]
, 2018 Tropical cyclones (TCs) have major effects on ecological and social systems. However, studies integrating the effects of TCs on both social and ecological systems are rare, especially in the northwest Pacific, where the frequency of TCs (locally named ...

Quantifying carbon and species dynamics under different fire regimes in a southeastern U.S. pineland
Ecosphere, 2019 Forests have a prominent role in carbon sequestration and storage. Climate change and anthropogenic forcing have altered the dominant characteristics of some forested ecosystems through changes to their disturbance regimes, particularly fire.

The promise and peril of intensive-site-based ecological research: insights from the Hubbard Brook ecosystem study [PDF]
, 2015 . Ecological research is increasingly concentrated at particular locations or sites. This trend reflects a variety of advantages of intensive, site-based research, but also raises important questions about the nature of such spatially delimited research:

Disturbance ecology in human societies
People and Nature, 2023 AbstractWe define societal disturbances as discrete events that abruptly disrupt the functioning of human societies. There is a variety of such events, including hurricanes, floods, epidemics, nuclear accidents, earthquakes and wars, among others. These disturbances can interact, further increasing their impacts.
