Cultivation of non‐native tree species is a promising option to adapt managed forests to climate change. However, consequences of non‐native tree species on flora, fauna, and microorganisms that occur in forest ecosystems (forest associates) need to be ...

Rehabilitating forest and marginal land using native species in mountainous northern Vietnam
Forest cover in Vietnam has increased dramatically over the past 30 years, largely driven by plantations of exotic tree species. The potential to utilise of Vietnam's diverse native flora in reforestation has remained largely unexplored. At two locations

Marked decline in forest-dependent small mammals following habitat loss and fragmentation in an Amazonian deforestation frontier [PDF]
Agricultural frontier expansion into the Amazon over the last four decades has created million hectares of fragmented forests. While many species undergo local extinctions within remaining forest patches, this may be compensated by native species from ...

Impacts of land use change on native plant-butterfly interaction networks from central Mexico [PDF]
Background Land use change is a key catalyst of global biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation. Deforestation and conversion of natural habitats to agricultural or urban areas can profoundly disrupt plant-flower visitor interactions by altering their

Native Species Abundance Buffers Non-Native Plant Invasibility following Intermediate Forest Management Disturbances [PDF]
Abstract The biotic resistance hypothesis (BRH) was proposed to explain why intermediate disturbances lead to greater resistance to non-native invasions proposing communities that are more diverse provide greater resistance. However, several empirical data sets have rejected the BRH because native and non-native species richness often ...

Biotechniques used in native forest species
The «talares» are a native wooded community of Buenos Aires province (Argentine). They are be coming extined due to the agricultural frontier expansion, the urbanization and seed regeneration problems. The most important forest species that constitute them are: Celtis tala Gill. ex Planch. (tala), Acacia caven (Mol.) Mol.

Emerging Urban Forests: Opportunities for Promoting the Wild Side of the Urban Green Infrastructure [PDF]
Many cities aim to increase urban forest cover to benefit residents through the provision of ecosystem services and to promote biodiversity. As a complement to traditional forest plantings, we address opportunities associated with “emerging urban forests”

The soil seed bank in abandoned tropical pastures: source of regeneration or invasion?
We assessed the availability of both pioneer and non-native species in the soil seed bank of old-growth forest and recently abandoned pasture, to evaluate whether the soil seed bank in these pastures represents a source of regeneration of species from ...
