Determination of Structural Characteristics of Old-Growth Forest in Ukraine Using Spaceborne LiDAR

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2021
A forest’s structure changes as it progresses through developmental stages from establishment to old-growth forest. Therefore, the vertical structure of old-growth forests will differ from that of younger, managed forests.

Old-growth forests as global carbon sinks

open access: yesNature, 2008
Old-growth forests remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere at rates that vary with climate and nitrogen deposition. The sequestered carbon dioxide is stored in live woody tissues and slowly decomposing organic matter in litter and soil. Old-growth forests therefore serve as a global carbon dioxide sink, but they are not protected by international ...

Loss of deep roots limits biogenic agents of soil development that are only partially restored by decades of forest regeneration

open access: yesElementa: Science of the Anthropocene, 2018
Roots and associated microbes generate acid-forming CO2 and organic acids and accelerate mineral weathering deep within Earth’s critical zone (CZ). At the Calhoun CZ Observatory in the USA’s Southern Piedmont, we tested the hypothesis that deforestation ...

Estimating above ground net biomass change in tropical and subtropical forests: refinement of IPCC default values using forest plot data [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
As countries advance in greenhouse gas (GHG) accounting for climate change mitigation, consistent estimates of above ground biomass (AGB) net change are needed for the tropics and subtropics.

Increase of an introduced bird competitor in old-growth forest associated with restoration [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Many successful invasions involve long initial periods in which the invader exists at low densities followed by sudden population increases. The reasons for such time-lags remain poorly understood.

Second-growth and small forest clearings have little effect on the temporal activity patterns of Amazonian phyllostomid bats [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Secondary forests and human-made forest gaps are conspicuous features of tropical landscapes. Yet, behavioural responses to these aspects of anthropogenically-modified forests remain poorly investigated.

Transferrin receptor 1‐mediated iron uptake supports thermogenic activation in human cervical‐derived adipocytes

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In this study, we found that human cervical‐derived adipocytes maintain intracellular iron level by regulating the expression of iron transport‐related proteins during adrenergic stimulation. Melanotransferrin is predicted to interact with transferrin receptor 1 based on in silico analysis.
