On functional groups and forest dynamics
Trends in Ecology & EvolutionFunctional trait variation measured on continuous scales has helped ecologists to unravel important ecological processes. However, forest ecologists have recently moved back toward using functional groups. There are pragmatic and biological rationales for focusing on functional groups.

Forest dynamics and demography
Science, 2020Tropical Forests Tropical forest succession has been viewed mostly by considering trees in categories of early-, mid-, and late-successional species, corresponding to a fast–slow continuum of life history strategies. Ruger et al. now show that the fast–slow continuum does not capture the demographic strategy of the long-lived pioneer species, an ...

Abstract n Chapter 6, tropical rain forests were examined on the long-time scale of tens of thousands of years and shown to have fluctuated in area. Delving further still, over millions of years, continental drift and evolution come into play. Present day fauna and flora bear witness to these long-term changes.

Eastern Siberia is located at the centre of a continuous permafrost zone. The most prominent feature of this zone is its vast cover by deciduous coniferous boreal (taiga) forest. Underlying the boreal ecosystem is an extensive and massive ice layer within the permafrost (Yedoma), which was crucial for the development of large ground subsidence during ...

Summary It is a generally accepted theory that, had there been no human intervention, closed-canopy forest would predominate in Central and Western Europe in places where trees can grow. Apparent evidence for the past presence of closed-canopy forest comes from several sources: abandoned pastures reverting to forest; palynological studies; and ...

Tens of years or even centuries of observation are necessary to detect forest dynamics as expressed by architecture and tree species composition (Chap. 7). However, fast initial changes in structure and species composition can be exemplified in young, spontaneous willow stands in Zuidelijk Flevoland, a polder reclaimed in 1968 (The Netherlands).

Neotropical forest dynamics are reviewed by focusing on four questions: (1) What is a mature neotropical forest? (2) How long does it take to attain maturity? (3) How important are gaps to species regeneration? and (4) What are the important equilibrium processes in neotropical forest dynamics?

Forest dynamics and successions
2012Ce chapitre fait une synthèse des connaissances actuelles sur la dynamique de la végétation forestière soumise à des perturbations naturelles ou anthropiques. Il aborde différentes échelles, de l'éco-unitié locale à la mosaïque paysagère, et compare dynamique naturelle et successions secondaires.
