Conservation of Hardwood Forest Species

2017
Conservation of forest genetic resources is essential for meeting the demand for future wood products. Genotypes with improved characteristics are nowadays widely produced through conventional breeding programmes, by selection of mature superior trees, by genetic transformation procedures, etc., which are important for increasing the productivity of ...

Beetle Species Responses to Tropical Forest Fragmentation

Ecological Monographs, 1998
(Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) The effects of forest fragmentation on beetle species composition were investigated in an experimentally fragmented tropical forest landscape in Central Amazonia. Leaf-litter beetles were sampled at seven distances from the forest edge (0–420 m) along forest edge-to-interior transects in two 100-ha ...

Forest species mapping

2017
Remote sensing has become increasingly important in vegetation mapping. Early applications pertained to aerial photography, but more recently satellite imagery with a huge range of spatial and temporal resolutions is in use that increases the applicability's from entire ecosystems to specific vegetation types. Some mapping projects apply remote sensing

Can tree species choice influence recruitment of ancient forest species in post-agricultural forest?

Plant Ecology, 2010
Germination and establishment of ancient forest species are bottlenecks in forest habitat restoration. We hypothesised that tree species can influence these processes on acidification sensitive soils through their effects on the soil. Seeds of seven ancient forest species were sown in soil collected in a post-agricultural forest under four different ...

Species Composition of the Forest

2003
One of the most striking features of tropical forests is their extraordinary species diversity (MacArthur 1969; Gentry 1982). The diversity of tropical trees supports a remarkable diversity of vertebrate and insect herbivores that have been shown to inflict a more intense pest pressure than in temperate settings (Landsberg and Ohmart 1989; Coley and ...

Species coexistence in temperate, mixed deciduous forests

Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2001
The response of tree life-history traits to community profiles (horizontal and vertical heterogeneity, disturbances and biotic interactions) determines community assembly rules, which are currently a hot issue in community ecology. Important mechanisms of coexistence differ throughout the developing stages of tree life history.

Multiple Species Boreal Forests - What Faustmann Missed

Environmental and Resource Economics, 2003
Recent research in natural sciences shows that the dynamics in boreal forests are much more complex than what many models traditionally used in forestry economics reflect. This essay analyzes some challenges of accounting for such complexity. It shows that the optimal harvesting strategy for forest owners is history dependent and for some states of the

Reporting Australia’s forest biodiversity II: threatened forest-dwelling and forest-dependent species

Australian Forestry, 2018
ABSTRACTConservation assessment information prepared to support the listing or recovery of threatened species provides a comprehensive evidence base for analysing the status of, and threats to, threatened species, as required for indicator-based national and international ‘state of the forests’ reporting.
