Delayed fire mortality has long‐term ecological effects across the Southern Appalachian landscape

open access: yesEcosphere, 2022
Fire is a critical ecological process to the forests of the Southern Appalachians. Where fire was excluded from forest types that historically burned frequently, unanticipated changes can occur when fire is reintroduced.

Persistent impacts of the 2018 drought on forest disturbance regimes in Europe [PDF]

open access: yesBiogeosciences, 2021
Europe was affected by an extreme drought in 2018, compounding with an extensive heat wave in the same and subsequent years. Here we provide a first assessment of the impacts this compounding event had on forest disturbance regimes in Europe.

Impact of Disturbances on Species Diversity and Regeneration of Nepalese Sal (Shorea robusta) Forests Managed under Different Management Regimes

open access: yesEarth, 2021
Sal (Shorea robusta) forests, a dominant forest type in Nepal, experience different disturbance intensities depending on management regimes. This study compares the impact of disturbance on Nepalese Sal forests, which are managed on three major ...

Forest disturbance and recovery in Peruvian Amazonia

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, 2023
AbstractAmazonian forests function as biomass and biodiversity reservoirs, contributing to climate change mitigation. While they continuously experience disturbance, the effect that disturbances have on biomass and biodiversity over time has not yet been assessed at a large scale.

Biodiversity in young versus old forest [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
This introductory essay has been written with the purpose to form a foundation for my PhD-study. My research task is to analyze how optimal selections of forest reserves can be made, considering biodiversity as well as economy.

Forest disturbances under climate change [PDF]

open access: yesNature Climate Change, 2017
Forest disturbances are sensitive to climate. However, our understanding of disturbance dynamics in response to climatic changes remains incomplete, particularly regarding large-scale patterns, interaction effects and dampening feedbacks. Here we provide a global synthesis of climate change effects on important abiotic (fire, drought, wind, snow and ...

Quantifying carbon and species dynamics under different fire regimes in a southeastern U.S. pineland

open access: yesEcosphere, 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.
