Oikos, EarlyView.Due to the constraints of limited effort and sampling error, observed species interaction networks are an imperfect representation of the ‘true' underlying community. Link prediction methods allow us to construct a potentially more complete representation of a given empirical network by guiding targeted sampling of predicted links, as well as offer ...

Impact of river management history on the community structure, species composition and nutrient status in the Rhine alluvial hardwood forest [PDF]
, 1998 The present-day Rhine alluvial hardwood forest (Querco-Ulmetum minoris, Issler 24) in the upper Rhine valley (France/Germany) is comprised of three vegetation units, one still flooded by calm waters (F) and the two others unflooded, one for 30 years ...

Tropical Dry Forest Succession and the Contribution of Lianas to Wood Area Index (WAI) [PDF]
, 2009 The transmission and interception of light through the canopy is an important indicator of forest productivity in tropical forest ecosystems, and the amount of light that eventually reaches the forest floor is influenced by its interactions with leaves ...

Fingerprinting the impacts of global change on tropical forests [PDF]
, 2004 Recent observations of widespread changes in mature tropical forests such as increasing tree growth, recruitment and mortality rates and increasing above-ground biomass suggest that 'global change' agents may be causing predictable changes in tropical ...

Balancing tracks and trees: Assessing railroad impact on Brazilian biodiversity
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.The Brazilian West–East Integration Railway (FIOL) aims to boost the national economy by improving commodity transport; however, it crosses three of Brazil's most biodiverse and fragile regions: the Caatinga, Cerrado and Atlantic Forest. Using digitised plant records and land‐use analyses, our study reveals significant vegetation loss within the ...

Spectral characterization of plant diversity in a biodiversity‐enriched oil palm plantation
Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.How well can airborne imaging spectroscopy detect plant diversity in vertically complex agroforestry systems? We tested this in a biodiversity‐enriched oil palm plantation in Sumatra, Indonesia, using high‐resolution hyperspectral data. We calculated spectral alpha and beta diversity and compared them to field‐based plant diversity.

Annals of Forest Science, 2022 Key message Forest fragmentation leads to a micro-environmental condition that favors the proliferation of liana, which infest trees, compete with them, and reduce their performance.

Blurred Lines Between Competition and Parasitism [PDF]
, 2017 Accurately describing the ecological relationships between species is more than mere semantics-doing so has profound practical and applied implications, not the least of which is that inaccurate descriptions can lead to fundamentally incorrect predicted ...

Using phenology to improve invasive plant detection in fine‐scale hyperspectral drone‐based images
Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.Using drone‐based hyperspectral images of mixed temperate successional forests collected over a growing season, detection algorithms were produced for three invasive species of interest, which are not only invasive in Virginia but also much of the U.S.: Ailanthus altissima (tree of heaven), Elaeagnus umbellata (autumn olive), and Rhamnus davurica ...

Increasing turnover through time in tropical forests [PDF]
, 1994 Tree turnover rates were assessed at 40 tropical forest sites. Averaged across inventoried forests, turnover, as measured by tree mortality and recruitment, has increased since the 1950's, with an apparent pantropical acceleration since 1980.
