, 2016 . Forest overstory and understory layers differ in carbon and water cycle regimes and phenology, as well as ecosystem functions. Separate retrievals of leaf area index (LAI) for these two layers would help to improve modeling forest biogeochemical cycles,

Plant Biology, EarlyView.Mature beech trees redistributed soil water, equal to ca. 10% of stand transpiration, from deeper moist soils to dry surface soils, where it was taken up by seedlings of different tree species. Abstract Hydraulic redistribution is considered a crucial dryland mechanism that may be important in temperate environments facing increased soil drying–wetting

Effect of a major ice storm on understory light conditions in an old-growth Acer-Fagus forest: Pattern of recovery over seven years [PDF]
, 2007 We evaluated the effects of a major ice storm on understory light conditions (%PPFD, photosynthetic photon flux density) in an old-growth Acer-Fagus forest in Quebec, based on pre- and post-disturbance light measurements taken until the seventh growing ...

Estimating Understory Stem Density From Overstory Structural Characteristics [PDF]
, 2001 Abstract : Current airborne imagery provides a fairly good mechanism for the measurement of such forest elements as tree crown diameter and tree height. The nature of the understory, however, can only be subjectively estimated by the analyst. Understory density and species composition can have an impact of such military activities as cross country ...

Narrating Entanglement Without Dehumanisation in Contemporary Eco‐Fiction
Future Humanities, Volume 4, Issue 1, May 2026.ABSTRACT This essay presents a comparative analysis of two contemporary works of eco‐fiction, Richard Powers's The Overstory (2018) and Eleanor Catton's Birnam Wood (2023). Both novels use multiperspective narration in the service of entanglement narratives, forms of storytelling that emphasise the interconnection of human and nonhuman life.

Occurrence, morphology and growth of understory saplings in Swedish forests [PDF]
, 2004 Growing demands for a multipurpose forestry leads to increased use of silvicultural systems that avoid clear-cutting. Regeneration in such systems is based on establishment and ingrowth of new seedlings under a more or less closed canopy.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.We assessed behaviors of female wild turkeys during the laying period and evaluated impacts of those behaviors on nest success and female survival. We found that increased movements during laying resulted in a decreased probability of nest success but an increased probability of female survival during incubation.

Occurrence and management of oak in southern Swedish forests [PDF]
, 2012 This article describes the current proportions of forest types with oak (Quercus robur and Q. petraea) in southern Sweden, provides an overview of oak distribution over time and reviews literature about oak regeneration relevant for the region.
