Similar taxonomic richness but different communities of ectomycorrhizas in native forests and non-native plantation forests

Mycorrhiza, 2011
This investigation sought to examine if there was a difference between the ectomycorrhizal (ECM) communities in plots of native oak and introduced Scots pine and Sitka spruce forest. The ECM communities in four plots of each forest type were described, from five soil cores collected in each plot, by morphotyping, internal transcribed spacer (ITS ...

Plant-pathogen management in a native forest ecosystem

Current Biology, 2023
Forest ecosystems all over the world are facing a growing threat from plant-disease outbreaks. As pollution, climate change, and global pathogen movement intensify, so too do the impacts of forest pathogens. In this essay, we examine a case study of the New Zealand kauri tree (Agathis australis) and its oomycetepathogen, Phytophthora agathidicida.

Forests and Native Wildlife

2015
This chapter describes the composition of the modern forests; the discovery of the Pureora Buried Forest and the significant information about ancient environments and extinct invertebrates it preserved; and the past and present wildlife of the native forest community, especially the rare native species now protected within Pureora Forest Park.

Birds in Pine and Native Forests

Emu - Austral Ornithology, 1976
The Monterey Pine Pinus radiata has been planted in Australia for about ninety years. In recent years, large amounts of native forest have been removed and planted with pines, which has greatly affected the original fauna. Almost any bird can be expected to forage in a pine plantation of mixed age-classes. This paper reports the birds seen and breeding

A Non-native Perennial Invades a Native Forest

Biological Invasions, 2000
Disturbance is frequently a requirement for non-indigenous plant invasions, but plants that invade in the absence of significant disturbance pose special problems for conservationists and land stewards, as the invasion rates and effects are difficult to predict.

Native forest monitoring : tracking changes in native forest remnants.

2016
Native forest monitoring is undertaken by forest companies as a requirement for certification of their forests by groups such as the FSC. It is important for companies to be able to track changes that are occurring to native forest remnants that are often spread throughout their operational plantation forest estate.

Nutrient conservation strategies in native Andean‐Patagonian forests

Journal of Vegetation Science, 2003
Abstract.Nutrient conservation in vegetation affects rates of litter decomposition and soil nutrient availability. Although resorption has been traditionally considered one of the most important plant strategies to conserve nutrients in temperate forests, long leaf life‐span and low nutrient requirements have been postulated as better indicators.

Non-native plantation forests as alternative habitat for native forest beetles in a heavily modified landscape

Biodiversity and Conservation, 2008
The once extensive native forests of New Zealand’s central North Island are heavily fragmented, and the scattered remnants are now surrounded by a matrix of exotic pastoral grasslands and Pinus radiata plantation forests. The importance of these exotic habitats for native biodiversity is poorly understood.

Introduced versus native plants in austral forests

Progress in Physical Geography: Earth and Environment, 1989
Despite the concern of some nineteenth- and early twentieth-century biologists, relatively few alien species have become established in undisturbed forests of Australia, Madagascar or New Zealand. All three countries have large 'naturalized' floras adapted to frequent disturbance.

Silvopastoral Systems Under Native Forest in Patagonia Argentina

2016
In Patagonia, silvopastoral systems in Nothofagus antarctica (nire) forest has become an economically, ecologically and socially productive land-use system. Patagonian experience with silvopastoral systems in the past 15 years is reviewed in this chapter.
