Viability of seed balls for large‐scale restoration of native plant communities in New Zealand
ABSTRACT Aerial seed broadcast by aircraft is a promising approach to ecosystem restoration and land rehabilitation over large, remote, and inaccessible areas. Aerial seeding has been used internationally for forest and grassland restoration since the 1930s but is not commonly applied to ecosystem restoration in New Zealand. Advances in unmanned aerial

Our study provides replicated, experimental evidence that competitor release can result in an unintended and negative conservation outcome: seedfall from indigenous trees decreased when ship rats alone were controlled. Overall, our results support others' recent conclusions that comprehensive pest management strategies are key to maximise the benefits ...

MioVeg1: A Global Middle Miocene Vegetation Reconstruction for Climate Modeling
Abstract Climate models require boundary condition information, such as vegetation and soil distributions because they influence the mean state climate, and feedbacks can significantly influence regional climate and climate sensitivity to CO2 forcing.

Expelled by the Antarctic ice: Evolutionary history of the tribe Cunonieae (Cunoniaceae)
Fossil calibration reveals recent radiations and biogeographical history of the Cunonieae tribe. The most densely sampled phylogeny indicated Antarctica and Patagonia as areas of origin, confirming the reestablishment of Pterophylla and revealing the northward movement of Weinmannia into the tropical Andes.

Landscape drivers of recent fire activity (2001-2017) in south-central Chile. [PDF]
In recent decades large fires have affected communities throughout central and southern Chile with great social and ecological consequences. Despite this high fire activity, the controls and drivers and the spatiotemporal pattern of fires are not well ...

Effects of artificial damage on the branching pattern of Nothofagus dombeyi (Nothofagaceae) [PDF]
The effects of artificial damage on the branching pattern were studied for a natural population of Nothofagus dombeyi trees. In four independent experiments, leaves, buds, distal internodes and/or nodes were clipped from main-branch shoots. The sizes of shoots close to the site of damage were compared with those of control shoots.
