Disturbance impacts on forest temporal dynamics
Water, Air, & Soil Pollution, 1995Contagious disturbances are widespread and an important component of the life-cycle of the Canadian boreal forest. Models which simulate the dynamics of these forests must include a representation of disturbance influences. Spatial models differ from non-spatial models in the use of area-based rather than point-based sampling designs.

Forest dynamics in the tropics.
2013This chapter discusses the dynamics of tropical forests. Specifically, the chapter presents the following topics: deforestation; forest land use dynamics; forest dynamics as a process of co-evolution in social and ecological conditions; forest transition pathways; reforestation; and policies that enhance forest conservation and extension.

Forest history, continuity and dynamic naturalness.
2004Forest history is one of the bases by which biodiversity in woodlands can be explained. In practice, forest history is mainly investigated in relation to research about ancient woodlands, or to particular scientific questions. However, it seems necessary to assess forest history not only for specific occasions but to take it as a base for an evaluation

Forest succession is a lengthy process compared to the life span of human beings. Secondary succession in hardwood forests of eastern North America and Europe, for example, requires several hundred years to reach a theoretical end point (Hough and Forbes 1943; Jones 1945; Raup 1957; White 1979).

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.

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).
