Unravelling the spatial and temporal variability of natural disturbances in European forests

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 4, April 2026.
The heterogeneity of natural disturbance patterns and high temporal variability across European Forest suggest the need of adopting context‐dependent management strategies tailored to both the dominant disturbance agent and local environmental conditions, particularly in the most vulnerable regions, such as the Iberian Peninsula—with large and frequent

Bryophyte diversity patterns in flooded and tierra firme forests in the Araracuara Region, Colombian Amazonia [PDF]

, 2004
We investigated patterns of bryophyte species richness and composition in two forest types of Colombian Amazonia, non-flooded tierra firme forest and floodplain forest of the Caquetá River.

The Altitudinal Gradient Influence on the Parameters of the Mountain Grasslands

Bulletin of University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine Cluj-Napoca. Agriculture, 2012
The aim of the paper is to assess the influence of the altitudinal gradient on the quality and biodiversity of grasslands in the mountainous area Muntele Mic. We studied various types of grasslands found at different altitudes as 613, 1342 and 1562 m.

Century‐long trends in plant diversity of temperate mountain vegetation are modulated along elevation gradient

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 3, March 2026.
Resurvey studies in mountain forests of the Tatra Mountains (Central Europe) show that plant diversity has increased over the past century, particularly at lower elevations. These shifts were associated more with increased nitrogen deposition and reduced grazing pressure than with direct climate warming.

Análisis de las poblaciones de briófitos y líquenes en el gradiente altitudinal de una carretera en Cundinamarca, Colombia

Acta Biológica Colombiana, 2006
En una carretera, a lo largo de un gradiente altitudinal, en Cundinamarca, Colombia, se estudiaron musgos asociados a sustratos de concreto, encontrando dos tipos de zonación, una asociada a ambientes generados por el borde de la carretera “Zonación ...

Widespread phenotypic and genetic divergence along altitudinal gradients in animals [PDF]

Journal of Evolutionary Biology, 2013
AbstractAltitudinal gradients offer valuable study systems to investigate how adaptive genetic diversity is distributed within and between natural populations and which factors promote or prevent adaptive differentiation. The environmental clines along altitudinal gradients tend to be steep relative to the dispersal distance of many organisms ...

Wood density variation across an Andes‐to‐Amazon elevational gradient

Journal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 9, Page 2370-2385, September 2025.
We study how wood density varies along a 3500‐m elevational gradient, spanning from the Andean tree line to the Amazon basin. Our results reveal that wood density decreases from low to mid‐elevations, then increases toward the tree line. These patterns underscore the influence of species composition, life forms such as tree ferns, and local ...
