Lack of Hydraulic Acclimation in Response to Multiple Droughts and Recovery
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.

Quaking aspen is found in western forests of the United States and is currently at risk of loss due to conifer competition at within-stand scales. Wildfires in these forests are impactful owing to conifer infilling during prolonged fire suppression post ...

Abstract Introduction Desert fishes are vulnerable to anthropogenic environmental alterations that degrade habitat and reduce water availability, but these same fishes benefit from restoration actions that reverse the causes of decline. Ash Meadows speckled dace (Rhinichthys osculus nevadensis) is a federally endangered minnow endemic to the Mojave ...

Bee and Tree Temporality in The History of Bees and The Overstory
The loss of biodiversity through a rapidly changing climate means humans can no longer assume their longevity on Earth; a crisis that has prompted a wave of literary imaginings. This article examines Maja Lunde’s The History of Bees (2015) and Richard Powers’ The Overstory (2018). Through comparing these authors’ contrasting treatment of temporality, I

Abstract Introduction The Wetlands Reserve Easement (WRE) program accounts for the majority of private land afforestation in the Lower Mississippi Alluvial Valley (LMAV), but consistent ecological monitoring is not often feasible after restoration activities are complete.

Effects of residual overstory on aspen development in Minnesota
The effects of different amounts of residual canopy on stand development of quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.) were examined in a chronosequence of 32 stands spanning 6-10 years since harvest. Residual canopy covers ranged from 0 to 65%, and residual basal areas ranged from 0 to 14.4 m2/ha.

Understory plants are an integral part of forests, serving a variety of functions that help maintain healthy ecosystems. The structure and composition of the understory are influenced by numerous biotic and abiotic factors, with light being critical. The

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 ...
