Land-use history impacts spatial patterns and composition of woody plant species across a 35-hectare temperate forest plot [PDF]
PeerJ, 2022 Land-use history is the template upon which contemporary plant and tree populations establish and interact with one another and exerts a legacy on the structure and dynamics of species assemblages and ecosystems.

International Journal of Applied Earth Observations and Geoinformation, 2022 The distinct vertical structure (i.e., “overstory-understory-grass”) in natural forest stand causes significant differences in species composition, carbon–water cycles, and phenology variations in different vertical layers.

Western Spruce Budworm Effects on Forest Resilience
Plants, 2022 Western spruce budworm (Choristoneura freemani Razowski) is the most destructive defoliator of forests in the western US. Forests in northern New Mexico experienced high levels of WSBW-caused defoliation and subsequent mortality between the 1980s and ...

Ecology and Evolution, 2023 In forest communities, light competition is a key process for community assembly. Species' differences in seedling and sapling tolerance to shade cast by overstory trees is thought to determine species composition at late‐successional stages.

Influence of forest composition on understory cover in boreal mixedwood forests of western Quebec
Silva Fennica, 2002 Forest overstory composition influences both light and nutrient availability in the mixed boreal forest. The influence of stand composition on understory cover and biomass was investigated on two soil types (clay and till deposits).
