Cryptic species, native populations and biological invasions by a eucalypt forest pathogen [PDF]

Molecular Ecology, 2012
AbstractHuman‐associated introduction of pathogens and consequent invasions is very evident in areas where no related organisms existed before. In areas where related but distinct populations or closely related cryptic species already exist, the invasion process is much harder to unravel.

Can native plant species be preserved in an anthropogenic forest landscape dominated by aliens? A case study from Mediterranean Chile

Annals of Forest Research, 2016
Plantations with fast growing exotic tree species can negatively affect native plant species diversity and promote the spread of alien species. Mediterranean Chile experienced major landscape changes with a vast expansion of industrial plantations of ...

A Pine Is a Pine and a Spruce Is a Spruce--The Effect of Tree Species and Stand Age on Epiphytic Lichen Communities. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
With an increasing demand for forest-based products, there is a growing interest in introducing fast-growing non-native tree species in forest management. Such introductions often have unknown consequences for native forest biodiversity.

The effect of temperature, soil nitrogen and gastropods on _Thuja plicata_ growth and reproduction [PDF]

, 2010
Humans are changing the environment. For example, nitrogen deposition, rising temperatures, and non-native species are influencing plant communities. These changes have and will continue to affect trees, thus, understanding the response of species to ...

Converting Chinese fir plantations into mixed stands: Effects of density on soil organic carbon mineralization and its temperature sensitivity

Trees, Forests and People
Converting monoculture plantations into mixed stands is a key strategy for enhancing soil carbon sequestration. The mechanisms behind soil organic carbon (SOC) turnover and its temperature response at different mixed densities are unclear.

Transforming Palmyra Atoll to native-tree dominance will increase net carbon storage and reduce dissolved organic carbon reef runoff.

PLoS ONE, 2022
Native forests on tropical islands have been displaced by non-native species, leading to calls for their transformation. Simultaneously, there is increasing recognition that tropical forests can help sequester carbon that would otherwise enter the ...

Structure of bird communities in eucalyptus plantations: nestedness as a pattern of species distribution

Brazilian Journal of Biology
Replacement of native habitats by tree plantations has increased dramatically in Brazil, resulting in loss of structural components for birds, such as appropriate substrates for foraging and nesting.

Diverging conditions of current and potential future urban forest patches

Ecosphere, 2022
Forested natural areas in cities provide a range of social, ecological, economic, and health benefits. Ensuring the delivery of these benefits requires an understanding of current and potential future forest conditions, yet urban forest dynamics are not ...
