Response of overstory and understory vegetation 37 years after prescribed burning in an aspen-dominated forest in northern Minnesota, USA – A case study

, 2016
Many studies have examined short-term changes in understory vegetation following prescribed burning. However, knowledge concerning longer term effects on both forest understory and overstory vegetation is lacking.

Seismic Velocity Variations Illustrate Hydrological and Ecohydrological Processes in a Mountain Watershed

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract We employ passive seismic interferometry to study seismic hydrological responses in a snowmelt‐driven, semi‐arid catchment. Seismic velocity changes (dv/v) at 2–4 Hz and 4–8 Hz are analyzed from six stations along a hillslope transect between May and November 2023 and compared to precipitation, soil moisture, and groundwater level timeseries ...

Distributed urban forest patch sampling detects edge effects and woodland condition for monitoring and management

Ecosphere
Urban forest patches, including woodland interiors and bounding edge habitat, result from secondary succession and fragmentation of more extensive forested landscapes in the eastern United States.

Developing a simple soil erosion model including spatial variability in headwater catchments

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Hillslopes and stream channels are tightly linked in headwater catchments, where soil erosion on slopes is transported to channels depending on topography, soil properties, and ground cover conditions. Because these environments are highly spatially variable, geographic information system (GIS)‐based modeling approaches are effective for ...

Unpacking satellite pixels: UAVs reveal fine-scale drivers of land surface phenology in a winter rainfall shrubland

Environmental Research Letters
Land surface phenology (LSP) can reveal important connections between vegetation dynamics and climate but remains poorly understood in evergreen winter-rainfall shrublands globally.

Facilitative Effects of Alnus viridis ssp. fruticosa on Betula nana ssp. exilis Growth in Arctic Alaska

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
We investigated how Siberian alder influences the growth of dwarf birch in the low Alaskan Arctic. Using growth rings, we found that Siberian alder promotes dwarf birch growth overall despite delaying and shortening the growing season through enhancing snow depths.

Resilience of uneven-aged mixedwood stands altered by diameter-limit cutting and opportunities for their rehabilitation

The Forestry Chronicle
Repeated diameter-limit cutting in mixedwood forests often leads to altered stand composition, quality, and regeneration, hence decreasing productivity and value over time. We studied the evolution of stand characteristics after diameter-limit cutting on

Prescribed Fire Alters Structure and Composition of a Mid-Atlantic Oak Forest up to Eight Years After Burning

, 2021
Background Prescribed fire in Eastern deciduous forests has been understudied relative to other regions in the United States. In Pennsylvania, USA, prescribed fire use has increased more than five-fold since 2009, yet forest response has not been ...

Response of ground-dwelling harvestman assemblages (Arachnida: Opiliones) to European beech forest canopy cover

European Journal of Entomology, 2017
We studied the effects of the overstory canopy cover on ground-dwelling harvestmen communities in European beech forests in the Western Carpathian Mts.

Spatial and Temporal Variability of Throughfall among Oak and Co-occurring Non-oak Tree Species in an Upland Hardwood Forest

Geosciences, 2019
Canopy throughfall comprises the largest portion of net precipitation that is delivered to the forest floor. This water flux is highly variable across space and time and is influenced by species composition, canopy foliage, stand structure, and storm ...
