Rapid assessment of feeding traces enables detection of drivers of saproxylic insects across spatial scales

Ecological Indicators, 2022
Knowledge of habitat requirements of saproxylic insects and their response to habitat changes is critical for assessing the ecological impacts of forest management.

Particle and front tracking in experimental and computational avalanche dynamics [PDF]

Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences
Understanding particle motion in snow avalanches is crucial for improving the representation of flow dynamics in numerical models. In this study, we develop and apply a general framework for testing and calibrating thickness-integrated flow models using ...

Tropical forest restoration: Fast resilience of plant biomass contrasts with slow recovery of stable soil C stocks [PDF]

, 2017
Due to intensifying human disturbance, over half of the world's tropical forests are reforested or afforested secondary forests or plantations. Understanding the resilience of carbon (C) stocks in these forests, and estimating the extent to which they ...

A Systematic Review of the Impact of Invasive Alien Plants on Forest Regeneration in European Temperate Forests

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
Invasive alien species (IAS) are one of the major threats to global and local biodiversity. In forest ecosystems, the threats caused by IAS include hybridization, transmission of diseases and species competition.

Forests and Decarbonization – Roles of Natural and Planted Forests [PDF]

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2020
The severe consequences of human disruptions to the global carbon cycle have prompted intense interest in strategies to reduce atmospheric CO2 concentrations. Because growing forests capture CO2 in their biomass and soils, large-scale tree planting efforts have been advertised as a viable way to counteract anthropogenic emissions as part of net-zero ...

Fourteen simple-sequence repeats newly developed for population genetic studies in Prosopis africana (Fabaceae–Mimosoideae)

BMC Research Notes, 2017
Background There is very limited genetic knowledge in Prosopis africana, an important sub-Saharan multi-purpose tree species. Availability of highly polymorphic genetic markers would be helpful for future genetic work. Findings Leaf samples from 15 trees

Impact of drought stress on some physiological traits in five Eucalypt species [PDF]

تحقیقات جنگل و صنوبر ایران, 2011
In order to investigate the impact of drought stress, a trail was carried out in a factorial experiment in the base of randomized complete design on traits such as pigments and photosynthesis in five Eucalyptus species (E. globulus, E.

An integrated modeling approach for assessing management objectives for mule deer in central British Columbia

Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2017
We used an integrated Bayesian state‐space population model to assess whether management objectives were met before (1995–2003), during (2004–2010), and after (2011–2013) antlerless permits to harvest mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) were increased in ...

Evaluation of Achillea, Matricaria, and Anthemis plants following selection for drought tolerance at seedling stages

Folia Oecologica, 2022
The genetic potentials of eight species of Achillea (A. millefolium, A. fillipendulla, A. biebersteinii, A. nobilis, A. eriophora), Matricaria (M. ricotita), and Anthemis (An. haussknechtii and An.
