Spatial Structure Dynamics and Maintenance of a Natural Mixed Forest

open access: yes, 2022
Spatial structure dynamics play a major role in understanding the mechanisms of forest structure and biodiversity formation. Recently, researches on the spatial structure dynamics utilizing multi-period data have been published.

Spaceborne LiDAR for characterizing forest structure across scales in the European Alps

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, 2023
The launch of NASA's Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) mission in 2018 opens new opportunities to quantitatively describe forest ecosystems across large scales. While GEDI's height‐related metrics have already been extensively evaluated, the

IS THE EFFECT OF FOREST STRUCTURE ON BIRD DIVERSITY MODIFIED BY FOREST PRODUCTIVITY

open access: yesEcological Applications, 2008
Currently, the most common strategy when managing forests for biodiversity at the landscape scale is to maintain structural complexity within stands and provide a variety of seral stages across landscapes. Advances in ecological theory reveal that biodiversity at continental scales is strongly influenced by available energy (i.e., climate factors ...

The human gut microbiome across the life course

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Despite significant individual variation and continuous change throughout life, the human gut microbiome follows some life stage‐specific trends. This article provides a brief overview of how gut microbiome composition shifts across different phases of life. Created in BioRender. Özkurt, E. (2026) https://BioRender.com/8q4nrnc.

On Spatial Resolution in Habitat Models: Can Small-scale Forest Structure Explain Capercaillie Numbers?

open access: yesEcology and Society, 2002
This paper explores the effects of spatial resolution on the performance and applicability of habitat models in wildlife management and conservation. A Habitat Suitability Index (HSI) model for the Capercaillie (Tetrao urogallus) in the Bavarian Alps ...

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

open access: yesFEBS 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 ...

Integration of Structural Characteristics from GEDI Waveforms for Improved Forest Type Classification

open access: yesRemote Sensing
Forest types correspond to differences in structural characteristics and species composition that influence biomass and biodiversity values, which are essential measurements for ecological monitoring and management.

The structure of tropical forests and sphere packings [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2015
SignificanceExplaining the tree size structure of tropical forests is of crucial importance because other important forest attributes can be derived from this. The tree diameter distribution, for example, determines the amount of carbon stored in a forest.
