Oikos, EarlyView.Anthropogenic disturbances are degrading nature at a rate that exceeds its capacity to recover. While considerable research has focused on understanding ecosystem impacts, recovery processes remain comparatively overlooked, particularly in marine ecosystems, where long‐term data on how highly complex systems respond to disturbances are scarce.

Measuring rainfall to a forest canopy: an assessment of the performance of canopy level raingauges [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2004 Accurate rainfall measurements are crucial for water resource and environmental assessments but can be difficult to achieve in extensive areas of forest. This paper reviews the different techniques for measuring rainfall to a forest area and presents

Estimation of Subtropical Forest Aboveground Biomass Using Active and Passive Sentinel Data with Canopy Height [PDF]
Forest biomass is closely related to carbon sequestration capacity and can reflect the level of forest management. This study utilizes four machine learning algorithms, namely Multivariate Stepwise Regression (MSR), K-Nearest Neighbors (k-NN), Artificial

The effect of canopy position on growth and mortality in mixed sapling communities during self-thinning [PDF]
, 2009 This research investigates how species in the sapling phase differ in growth and survival depending on light availability (as estimated by canopy position) by means of tree-ring analysis and modelling mortality.

Inequalities in intraspecific plant–lemur interactions drive seed dispersal patterns
Oikos, EarlyView.Biotic interactions occur between individuals and accumulate to shape species‐level interaction structure across a community. Skewed interaction structures, where a few individuals are highly connected and most have few interactions, are increasingly identified at the individual‐level.

Oikos, EarlyView.As habitats change, the effectiveness of animal‐mediated seed dispersal increasingly depends on animal responses to altered structure and resources. With habitat loss and degradation accelerating across the tropics, understanding how dispersers' foraging behavior and movement influence seed removal and deposition is critical to promoting forest ...

Oikos, EarlyView.Many key ecosystem functions are affected by plant roots and their traits. However, understanding of the patterns in, and drivers of, root traits lags far behind equivalent knowledge of above‐ground tissues, particularly in boreal old growth forests. We surveyed community‐level root traits across 11 old growth forests spanning a wide latitudinal range ...

Naturalness indicators of forests in Southern Sweden derived from the canopy height model
European Journal of Remote SensingForest canopies embody a dynamic set of ecological factors, acting as a pivotal interface between the Earth and its atmosphere. They are not only the result of an ecosystem's ability to maintain its inherent ecological processes, structures, and functions but also a reflection of human disturbance.

Oikos, EarlyView.Fruit colour has long fascinated scientists and is widely considered an evolutionary adaptation to attract both avian and mammalian frugivores. While fleshy fruits play a key role in plant–animal interactions by promoting seed dispersal, the functional significance of colour variation, particularly multicoloured displays during ripening, remains poorly
