Industrial Crops and ProductsCloser-to-nature forest management models that transform plantations into uneven-aged multi-storied forests, can enhance long-term sustainability. The density of the upper canopy trees regulates light resource allocation for trees in the understory ...

Ecology and EvolutionTerrestrial invertebrates provide energy and nutrients to lacustrine systems. However, the extent to which lakeshore and riparian vegetation affects the diet of lake‐associated fish is not well known. We sampled six small lakes (

Environmental change shapes understory plant diversity and dominance in boreal forests
Nature CommunicationsOngoing environmental change threatens ecosystems worldwide, yet little is known about its effect on understory plant diversity, which underpins ecosystem functioning and sustainability.

Frequent and strong cold‐air pooling drives temperate forest composition
Ecology and EvolutionCold‐air pooling is an important topoclimatic process that creates temperature inversions with the coldest air at the lowest elevations. Incomplete understanding of sub‐canopy spatiotemporal cold‐air pooling dynamics and associated ecological impacts ...

Multifactor ecological classification systems are being developed for many regions. An element of these systems not yet well understood is how disturbances, clearcutting in this instance, may alter the vegetative component of the classification units at the stand and landscape levels.

Understory vegetation plays a critical role in boreal ecosystems. Despite this, quantitative evaluation of the factors controlling understory vegetation abundance, diversity, and composition in the most diverse boreal forest region in North America is lacking. This study examined the dynamics of understory vegetation of stands of fire origin and tested

Ground-flora and overstory composition and abundance patterns in 76 upland forest stands were related to the glacial geomorphology of a five-county area in northwestern lower Michigan. Nine classes of landforms were identified based on parent material and surface configuration.

We have characterized overstory light transmission, understory light levels, and plant communities in mixed wood boreal forests of northwestern Quebec with the objective of understanding how overstory light transmission interacts with composition and time since disturbance to influence the diversity and composition of understory vegetation, and, in ...

The relative contributions of overstory and understory plant transpiration and soil evaporation to total evapotranspiration (ET) in a semiarid savanna woodland were determined from stable isotope measurements of atmospheric water vapor. The savanna overstory was dominated by the deeply rooted, woody legume Prosopis velutina (“mesquite”), and the ...
