Restoration Plantings Promote Functional Recovery of Soil Fungi

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 18, September 2026.
ABSTRACT The global scale of biodiversity loss and land degradation has prompted the establishment of ambitious international restoration agreements, with the goal of returning biodiverse and functional ecosystems. Restoration interventions are often vegetation focused, and while they yield positive, measurable outcomes, they do not always lead to ...

Multitemporal Sentinel and GEDI data integration for overstory and understory fuel type classification

International Journal of Applied Earth Observations and Geoinformation
Wildfires significantly reshape the landscape of the Mediterranean basin, altering forest composition, structure, and diversity. Consequently, detailed fuel mapping is crucial for improving fire risk assessment and enhancing fire behavior modeling, as ...

Lack of Hydraulic Acclimation in Response to Multiple Droughts and Recovery

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 9, Page 6931-6943, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Human‐caused climate change is expected to bring more frequent and extended droughts with shorter wet periods of relief in between for many regions of the world. Critical knowledge gaps remain around the extent to which tree species can acclimate physiologically to repeated droughts.

Short‐term soil responses and site conditions to inverted mounding on peatland linear features in Alberta, Canada

Restoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 7, September 2026.
Abstract Introduction Seismic lines represent one of the most extensive and persistent anthropogenic disturbances in boreal peatlands, limiting forest regeneration and altering key ecosystem functions. Inverted mounding is increasingly applied to elevate planting microsites above shallow water tables, yet evidence on short‐ to medium‐term biophysical ...

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.

Soil and Forest Degradation Driven by Cattle Grazing and Selective Logging in Sub‐Antarctic Nothofagus Ecosystems of Patagonia

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 14, Page 10532-10545, 30 August 2026.
ABSTRACT Soil and forest degradation driven by chronic land‐use pressures is an increasingly widespread process in forested landscapes worldwide, yet its empirical characterization remains limited, particularly in temperate and sub‐Antarctic ecosystems.

Mapping recent timber harvest activity in a temperate forest using single date airborne LiDAR surveys and machine learning: lessons for conservation planning

GIScience & Remote Sensing
Effective planning for natural resource management and wildlife conservation requires detailed information on vegetation structure at landscape scales and how structure is influenced by land-use practices. In many forested landscapes, the largest impacts

Comparing the abilities of traditional airborne and UAS lidar for mapping low-lying vegetation density across temperate forest types

GIScience & Remote Sensing
Accurate mapping of understory vegetation is critical for applications ranging from wildlife habitat and biodiversity monitoring to fire behavior modeling and ecosystem carbon accounting. Lidar offers unique potential for quantifying subcanopy vegetation

Height Growth of Advance Regeneration Under an Even-Aged Bigtooth Aspen (Populus Grandidentata) Overstory

, 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 ...
