Strategies for dry forest recovery: Fifteen years of Caribbean experimentation across scales

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 6, June 2026.
Slow recovery of degraded Caribbean dry tropical forests can be accelerated by combining herbivore removal at landscape scales with enrichment planting of rare tree species under the cover of remnant forest patches. Long‐legacy effects on soils and forest taxonomical and functional diversity require long‐term management and community engagement ...

Limitations of forest overstory composition and age as proxies for habitat in a harvested boreal forest

open access: yes, 2014
Despite the importance of wildlife habitat protection in meeting land use management objectives, criteria for habitat identification are surprisingly amorphous.

Influence of overstory composition on understory vegetation and resource environment in the boreal forests of Canada [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Study areas : Thunder Bay Region, Northwestern Ontario ; Northeastern Quebec.The forest canopy is a major determinant of microclimate within the forest ecosystem, as it intercepts, absorbs and modifies light environment in the understory.

Pilliga Ghosts: The Novel Fungi of the Rivers, Creeks, Lakes, and Dams of the Narrabri Region, Australia

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 3, June 2026.
Freshwater systems of the semi‐arid Narrabri region, Australia, are hotspots of novel fungal and eukaryote diversity, dominated by zoosporic fungi and unclassified lineages. ITS‑based DNA and water chemistry analyses across various water bodies revealed strong seasonal patterns, a scarcity of aquatic hyphomycetes that may reflect environmental ...

Relationship of understory development in thinned loblolly pine plantations to overstory structure and site characteristics in the Virginia Piedmont

open access: yes, 1979
Understory forage production, species composition, and nutrient concentrations were studied in relation to overstory structure and site characteristics in thinned loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) plantations in the Virginia Piedmont.

Exotic Plant Pathogen Reduces Habitat and Foraging Activities of a Digging Mammal

open access: yesAustral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 6, June 2026.
The invasive plant pathogen Phytophthora cinnamomi causes extensive damage to Australian ecosystems and likely degrades the habitats of many animals. This study investigated the impact of P. cinnamomi invasion on habitat and foraging of a bandicoot species.

Mesophytic litter dampens flammability in fire‐excluded pyrophytic oak–hickory woodlands

open access: yesEcosphere, 2018
Fire exclusion in eastern North American Quercus–Carya woodlands has resulted in overstory compositional changes, linked to altered fuel composition, structure, and ultimately, altered fire regimes.
