The Role of Old-growth Forests in Frequent-fire Landscapes

Ecology and Society, 2007
Classic ecological concepts and forestry language regarding old growth are not well suited to frequent-fire landscapes. In frequent-fire, old-growth landscapes, there is a symbiotic relationship between the trees, the understory graminoids, and fire that

Analysis on the transpiration response of Japanese cedar (Crytomeria fortunei) and influencing factors after expansion of moso bamboo (Phyllostachys edulis)

Ecological Indicators, 2023
Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys edulis) expansion into adjacent forests has been reported to alter the local water cycle. Transpiration is the most important component of the water budget.

Kelp Forest Restoration in Australia

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020
Kelp forests dominate the rocky coasts of temperate Australia and are the foundation of the Great Southern Reef. Much like terrestrial forests, these marine forests create complex habitat for diverse communities of flora and fauna. Kelp forests also support coastal food-webs and valuable fisheries and provide a suite of additional ecosystem services ...

Tropical Forest Landscape Restoration in Indonesia: A Review

Land, 2022
Indonesia has the second-largest biodiversity of any country in the world. Deforestation and forest degradation have caused a range of environmental issues, including habitat degradation and loss of biodiversity, deterioration of water quality and ...

Response of understory vegetation over 10 years after thinning in an old-growth cedar and cypress plantation overgrazed by sika deer in eastern Japan

Forest Ecosystems, 2017
Background Forest management strategies such as thinning have long been used to enhance ecosystem functions, especially in plantations. Thinning in plantations with high deer density, however, may not yield a desired increase in understory vegetation ...

A new geodatabase of fuel treatments across federal lands in the USA

Scientific Data
Catastrophic wildfires threaten landscapes across the United States, and fuel treatments are key to mitigating this risk. Yet, information regarding when, where, and what types of treatments have occurred is scattered across multiple systems of record ...

Transferrin receptor 1‐mediated iron uptake supports thermogenic activation in human cervical‐derived adipocytes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In this study, we found that human cervical‐derived adipocytes maintain intracellular iron level by regulating the expression of iron transport‐related proteins during adrenergic stimulation. Melanotransferrin is predicted to interact with transferrin receptor 1 based on in silico analysis.

Forest restoration decouple soil C:N:P stoichiometry but has little effects on microbial biodiversity globally

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, 2023
Introduction Forest restoration is an effective way to promote ecosystem functions and mitigate climate change. However, how forest restoration affect soil C:N:P stoichiometry and microbial biodiversity, as well as their linkage across contrasting forest

From mice to humans—divergent strategies for intestinal homeostasis and regeneration

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Recent advances such as organoid genome editing, xenotransplantation, imaging, and whole‐genome sequencing have enabled direct studies of human intestinal stem cells (ISCs). These studies reveal species‐specific features, including slower ISC proliferation, distinct injury responses, slower somatic mutation accumulation in humans, and an inverse ...

Decadal stability of radiocesium inventories and soil to tree transfer in forests affected by the Fukushima nuclear accident

Scientific Reports
Understanding the long-term dynamics of radiocesium (137Cs) in forests contaminated by the Fukushima nuclear accident requires determining when these dynamics reach a quasi-equilibrium state, in which the flux of 137Cs between soil and trees becomes ...
