Ice storm effects on the canopy structure of a northern hardwood forest after 8 years [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Ice storms can cause severe damage to forest canopies, resulting in differential mortality among tree species and size classes and leading to long-lasting changes in the vertical structure and composition of the forest.

Restoring off‐highway vehicle trails in flood‐prone and riparian forests using balsam poplar cuttings

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Introduction Recreational off‐highway vehicle (OHV) use can cause significant disturbance to natural areas. The use of local balsam poplar (Populus balsamifera L.) cuttings may be a solution to supply native plant material for the restoration of flood‐prone and riparian environments.

Tree planting choices mediate wildfire damage to tropical forest restoration in eastern Madagascar

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 3, March 2026.
Wildfires threaten tropical rainforest conservation and restoration around the world, and they pose a particular risk to the unique species assemblages in eastern Madagascar. Following an intense period of wildfires in 2020–2022 that impacted 33% of 46 tropical forest restoration sites installed by the non‐profit organization Green Again Madagascar ...

Soil inorganic N leaching in edges of different forest types subject to high N deposition loads [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
We report on soil leaching of dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) along transects across exposed edges of four coniferous and four deciduous forest stands. In a 64-m edge zone, DIN leaching below the main rooting zone was enhanced relative to the interior

Continental scale variability in ecosystem processes: Models, data, and the role of disturbance [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
Management of ecosystems at large regional or continental scales and determination of the vulnerability of ecosystems to large-scale changes in climate or atmospheric chemistry require understanding how ecosystem processes are governed at large spatial ...

Litterfall production in tropical natural forests on Hainan Island: variations across vegetation types and dependence on community properties

open access: yesEcological Indicators
Litterfall production is fundamental to various functions and processes within forest ecosystems. Yet, it has been primarily investigated within single vegetation types, with its dependence on biotic conditions remaining largely undefined, particularly ...

Fine root dynamics and trace gas fluxes in two lowland tropical forest soils [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Fine root dynamics have the potential to contribute significantly to ecosystem-scale biogeochemical cycling, including the production and emission of greenhouse gases.

The significance of atmospheric nutrient inputs and canopy interception of precipitation during ecosystem development in piñon-juniper woodlands of the southwestern USA [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
In arid ecosystems, widely spaced vegetation and prolonged dry periods may enhance canopy capture of nutrients from dry deposition. Additionally, differences in precipitation type, plant canopy architecture, and soil nutrient limitation could affect ...

Impacts of increasing typhoons on the structure and function of a subtropical forest: reflections of a changing climate

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
Due to their destructive and sporadic nature, it is often difficult to evaluate and predict the effects of typhoon on forest ecosystem patterns and processes.
