Understanding Beech Predominance Through Sapling and Adult Demography Along Environmental Gradients
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.We address the question how species abundances are driven by biotic interactions along environmental gradients by applying a demographic population model to NFI data, substantiating a classical ecological theory by Ellenberg: The dominant species in Central European forests outcompetes other tree species only under favorable environmental conditions ...

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 9, September 2026.Ecosystem dynamics are shaped by interacting top‐down and bottom‐up processes, yet their relative importance may vary through time following disturbances such as disease outbreaks and changes in apex predator communities. Using a 52‐year time series in south‐central Sweden, we examined how disease, apex predators, and prey availability jointly impact a

Compounding effects of cattle, wild ungulates, and beaver impede riparian restoration
Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 9, September 2026.Abstract Planting native woody vegetation is a common restoration practice to increase stream shade, an important salmonid habitat recovery strategy in the interior Pacific Northwest (PNW, USA). Herbivory by domestic livestock and wild mammals, a ubiquitous disturbance in PNW riparian zones, is a common barrier to survival and growth of plantings ...

Recreational activities and human hunting strongly influence red deer space use to trails
Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 9, September 2026.Abstract Assessing how animals adjust their movements to two widespread human activities, hunting and recreation, can provide critical insights into how these activities reshape red deer spatial behavior. In this study, we used GPS telemetry data from red deer in the Bavarian Forest National Park (Germany) to analyze their habitat selection and ...

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 9, September 2026.Abstract Climate‐induced shifts in disturbance regimes are reshaping northern forest ecosystems, where tree species are at their geographic range limit. Northern Canada has warmed over twice as much as the mean global increase since 1950, providing a critical context to study climate–fire–vegetation interactions under rapid warming.
