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

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

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 ...

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