Geography of forest disturbance. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2013 For some, the phrase “forest disturbance” conjures a vision of bulldozed trees to make room for agricultural fields. For others, the term evokes a mental picture of a tree falling in the forest, creating a gap. In reality, these are two end-members on a continuum of physical disturbances that commonly take place in forests.

Forest Disturbance Types and Current Analogs for Historical Disturbance-Independent Forests [PDF]
Land, 2021 Forest classifications by disturbance permit designation of multiple types of both old growth forests and shorter-lived forests, which auto-replace under severe disturbance, and also identification of loss of the disturbance type and associated forest. Historically, fire and flooding disturbance regimes, or conversely, infrequent disturbance, produced ...

LiDAR Voxel-Size Optimization for Canopy Gap Estimation
Remote Sensing, 2022 Terrestrial laser scanning of forest structure is used increasingly in place of traditional technologies; however, deriving physical parameters from point clouds remains challenging because LiDAR returns do not have defined areas or volumes.

Ecosphere, 2021 Ecosystem process models can be used to predict forest response to disturbances at a range of scales. Selection of the spatial class of model should depend on the scale of the research or management question, and model type should depend on the ecosystem

Winter Climate Variability, De-Icing Salt and Streetside Tree Vitality
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 De-icing salts are applied to roads and walking surfaces to mitigate winter hazards resulting from ice, snow and freezing rain. The vitality of streetside trees, especially those growing in densely built urban areas, is compromised by repeated exposure ...
