Late Quaternary vegetation dynamics from central parts of the Madeira River in Brazil

Acta Botânica Brasílica, 2015
The present study reconstructs the paleovegetation of a varzea (seasonally flooded) forest in the central parts of the Madeira River floodplain in Brazil using palynological data. Forty-nine cut-bank sediment samples from the Madeira River were processed

Forest and forest succession in Hong Kong, China [PDF]

Journal of Tropical Ecology, 1997
ABSTRACTHong Kong is on the northern margin of the Asian tropics. The original forest cover was cleared centuries ago but secondary forest has developed since 1945 at many sites protected from fire and cutting. There are also older forest patches maintained behind villages for reasons of ‘feng shui’, the Chinese system of geomancy.

Fungal community structure shifts in litter degradation along forest succession induced by pine wilt disease

, 2023
Fungi play a crucial role in decomposing litter and facilitating the energy flow between aboveground plants and underground soil in forest ecosystems. However, our understanding how the fungal community involved in litter decomposition responds during ...

Dominant Species in Subtropical Forests Could Decrease Photosynthetic N Allocation to Carboxylation and Bioenergetics and Enhance Leaf Construction Costs during Forest Succession

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018
It is important to understand how eco-physiological characteristics shift in forests when elucidating the mechanisms underlying species replacement and the process of succession and stabilization.

Secondary succession of overgrazed Pannonian sandy grasslands [PDF]

, 2008
We assessed vegetation changes on acidic sandy soils in permanent plots to follow secondary succession after cessation of intensive goose breeding in E Hungary.We also aimed to estimate the time required for vegetation regeneration and indicate ...

Spatial tree community structure in three stands across a forest succession gradient in northern boreal Fennoscandia [PDF]

, 2015
Development of species composition during succession is well studied in natural boreal forests, but empirical assessments of how within-stand spatial structure develops in late-successional stages are few.

Characteristics of the soil arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal community along succession stages in tropical forest and its driving factors

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2023
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi play an important role in mediating plant-soil interactions across succession stages. However, AMF community dynamics which about the change of community composition and member activity remain unclear.

Carbon stock increases up to old growth forest along a secondary succession in Mediterranean island ecosystems.

PLoS ONE, 2019
The occurrence of old-growth forests is quite limited in Mediterranean islands, which have been subject to particularly pronounced human impacts. Little is known about the carbon stocks of such peculiar ecosystems compared with different stages of ...
