Contrasting Leaf Trait Responses of Conifer and Broadleaved Seedlings to Altered Resource Availability Are Linked to Resource Strategies

Plants, 2020
(1) Understanding tree seedling responses to water, nutrient, and light availability is crucial to precisely predict potential shifts in composition and structure of forest communities under future climatic conditions.

Resilient Leaf Physiological Response of European Beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) to Summer Drought and Drought Release

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Drought is a major environmental constraint to trees, causing severe stress and thus adversely affecting their functional integrity. European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) is a key species in mesic forests that is commonly expected to suffer in a future ...

Climate trends and behavior of a model Amazonian terrestrial insectivore, black‐faced antthrush, indicate adjustment to hot and dry conditions

Journal of Avian Biology, 2022
Rainforest loss threatens terrestrial insectivorous birds throughout the world's tropics. Recent evidence suggests these birds are declining in undisturbed Amazonian rainforest, possibly due to climate change.

Avian ecological succession in the Amazon: A long‐term case study following experimental deforestation

Ecology and Evolution, 2019
Approximately 20% of the Brazilian Amazon has now been deforested, and the Amazon is currently experiencing the highest rates of deforestation in a decade, leading to large‐scale land‐use changes.

Changes in Root–Shoot Allometric Relations in Alpine Norway Spruce Trees After Strip Cutting

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Silvicultural interventions such as strip cuttings can change the resource availability of the edge trees. This may alter tree allometry, as light regime, water, and nutrient availability can change at the forest edge.

Demographic trade-offs predict tropical forest dynamics

Science, 2019
Forest dynamics and demography 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. Rüger et al.

The effects of previous summer drought and fertilization on winter non-structural carbon reserves and spring leaf development of downy oak saplings

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
It is still unknown whether the previous summer season drought and fertilization will affect the winter non-structural carbohydrate (NSC) reserves, spring leaf development, and mortality of trees in the next year.

Bogs, birds, and berries in Belarus: the governance and management dynamics of wetland restoration in a state-centric, top-down context

Ecology and Society, 2021
Wetlands are complex social-ecological systems, which provide both important habitat for species, and multiple tangible and intangible benefits for people.

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

Biogeosciences, 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.

Modeling of Forest Dynamics

Сибирский лесной журнал, 2015
The concept of describing the process of self-thinning stands is considered from the standpoint of the general theory and methods of modeling the dynamics of biological populations and communities. Heterogeneity is one of the fundamental factors that determine the population dynamics of both the evolutionary time, and at the level of the lifetime of ...
