Wildfire affects boreal forest resilience through post-fire recruitment in Northeastern China

Ecological Indicators, 2022
Climate change has increased the severity, frequency, and impact of fire disturbance on boreal forests worldwide. Unusual fire events can trigger a shift from needle-leaf dominated forests to broad-leaf dominated forests, altering the original succession

The Herbaceous Understory Plant Community in the Context of the Overstory: An Overlooked Component of Tropical Diversity

Diversity, 2022
Lowland tropical rainforests harbor the most diverse plant communities in the world, but the herbaceous plants of the understory are often overlooked. To address this knowledge gap, we asked to what extent the understory herbaceous community contributes ...

Stand age and species traits alter the effects of understory removal on litter decomposition and nutrient dynamics in subtropical Eucalyptus plantations

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2019
Litter decomposition is a crucial ecological process that regulates nutrient cycling. However, the effects of understory plants and overstory trees on litter decomposition and nutrient dynamics are still poorly understood.

Partial Retention of Legacy Trees Protect Mycorrhizal Inoculum Potential, Biodiversity, and Soil Resources While Promoting Natural Regeneration of Interior Douglas-Fir

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2021
Clearcutting reduces proximity to seed sources and mycorrhizal inoculum potential for regenerating seedlings. Partial retention of legacy trees and protection of refuge plants, as well as preservation of the forest floor, can maintain mycorrhizal ...

Photographic assessment of overstory and understory leaf area index in beech forests under different management regimes in Central Italy

Metsanduslikud Uurimused, 2014
Forest understory may be strongly affected by silvicultural practices such as thinning, which simultaneously modulates the overstory canopy cover and influences the availability of light.
