Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 2, February 2026.Moderate‐severity disturbances often leave legacy effects on surviving trees. We conceptualized the legacy effect as a shift in ecological memory (quantified by sensitivity, length, and temporal pattern) and quantified the legacy effect of drought and intentional fire on tree growth.

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 2, February 2026.Central European forests became hotspots of tree mortality from drought and bark beetles between 2018 and 2020, raising concerns about forest recovery. Based on field surveys from 849 disturbed sites in ten European countries, we found that forests are regenerating quickly, with new trees present on most sites within a few years, especially under warm ...

Invasion of transition hardwood forests by exotic Rhamnus frangula: Chronology and site requirements [PDF]
, 2007 The invasion chronology and site requirements of the exotic, invasive shrub, glossy buckthorn (Rhamnus frangula), were studied within intact transition hardwood---hemlock---white pine forests in Durham, NH. Data were collected from 63 plots (7 sites with

Biomass estimations of invasives Yaupon, Chinese Privet and Chinese Tallow in east Texas Hardwood and Pine Ecosystems [PDF]
, 2017 Forest understory fuels can have profound effects on fire behavior and crown fire initiation. Accurate fire behavior prediction in understory fuels is an essential component for estimating fire intensity and severity during wildfire and prescribed fire ...

Restoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 2, February 2026.Abstract Introduction Afforestation is a key restoration strategy for mitigating land degradation and desertification in semiarid regions. However, evaluating the ecological impacts of tree species used for sustainable dryland restoration is crucial. For example, non‐native tree species may become invasive, with negative effects on native understory ...

Ecological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 1, January 2026.Abstract Shrubs of the genus Vaccinium serve as foundation species in boreal ecosystems as they define much of the structure of the ground vegetation and play key roles in many ecosystem services and processes. For example, Vaccinium myrtillus (bilberry) and Vaccinium vitis‐idaea (cowberry) constitute staple foods for several species of large ...

Fine roots of overstory Norway spruce (Picea abies):
Forest Systems, 2011 The horizontal and vertical distribution of live fine roots (diameter < 2 mm) of overstory Norway spruce [Picea abies (L.) Karst.] and their influence on diameter and height growth of underplanted beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) and Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii [Mirb.] Franco) saplings were studied on experimental plots in the Solling Mountains ...
