Resilience and plant growth forms 40 years after a volcanic disturbance
Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 6, June 2026.Abstract Resilience represents a critical concept in ecology; yet, quantitative assessment of resilience in response to disturbance is rare, even for widely recognized growth forms. Plant groups based on deciduousness, clonality, morphology, and Raunkiaer life form could predict inertia to major disturbances and subsequent resilience.

Overstory influences on herb and shrub communities in mature forests of western Washington, U.S.A.
, 2000 Understanding the relationships between forest overstory and understory communities is essential for predicting changes in the abundance and distribution of understory plants through successional time and in response to forest management.

Using LiDAR to quantify, map, and conserve late‐successional and old‐growth forest in Maine, USA
Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 6, June 2026.Abstract The world continues to lose late‐successional and old‐growth (LSOG) forest as the human population and demand for wood fiber grow. However, older forest age classes provide structural and compositional characteristics important to biodiversity that are often not present in forests managed for timber.

The role of tree traits in explaining throughfall variability in US forests
Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 6, June 2026.Abstract Throughfall, precipitation that passes through the plant canopy or drips from canopy surfaces, represents the dominant input of water to most forests and is extremely spatially and temporally variable. Many plant traits can influence throughfall, but because measuring throughfall and a wide variety of plant traits is labor intensive, most ...

, 1995 Height and age structures and recent height growth rates of white pine (Pinus strobus) and red maple (Acer rubrum) advance regeneration were examined in an even-aged bigtooth aspen ecosystem to determine if height growth inhibition in the understory is ...

Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 2, June 2026.A hysteretic model predicts a time lag in the response of herbaceous layer variables (e.g., cover, diversity) to decreasing N deposition. To the contrary, virtually all such variables displayed a surprising sensitivity to decreased N. ABSTRACT Increases in nitrogen (N) emissions during the 20th century resulted in the atmospheric deposition of N ...

Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 2, June 2026.Seedling counts over 26 years revealed that wetter‐site temperate tree species struggle to recruit in warmer, drier years, whereas drier‐site species are more climate‐tolerant. Shadier forests buffered seedlings from heat and drought. Local soils and canopy cover strongly shaped outcomes, revealing considerable differences among species in climate ...
