Shrub-depth: Capturing Height of Dense Graphs [PDF]

open access: yesLogical Methods in Computer Science, Volume 15, Issue 1 (January 31, 2019) lmcs:3798, 2017
The recent increase of interest in the graph invariant called tree-depth and in its applications in algorithms and logic on graphs led to a natural question: is there an analogously useful "depth" notion also for dense graphs (say; one which is stable under graph complementation)? To this end, in a 2012 conference paper, a new notion of shrub-depth has

High N, dry: Experimental nitrogen deposition exacerbates native shrub loss and nonnative plant invasion during extreme drought. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Hotter, longer, and more frequent global change-type drought events may profoundly impact terrestrial ecosystems by triggering widespread vegetation mortality.

Contrasting shrub species respond to early summer temperatures leading to correspondence of shrub growth patterns

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters, 2018
The Arctic-alpine biome is warming rapidly, resulting in a gradual replacement of low statured species by taller woody species in many tundra ecosystems.

Retrogressive thaw slumps in the Alaskan Low Arctic may influence tundra shrub growth more strongly than climate

open access: yesEcosphere, 2022
Thermokarst disturbance in permafrost landscapes is likely to increase across the tundra biome with climate warming, resulting in changes to topography, vegetation, and biogeochemical cycling.

Tundra shrub expansion in a warming climate and the influence of data type on models of habitat suitability

open access: yesArctic, Antarctic, and Alpine Research, 2022
Warming across the low Arctic is increasing tundra vegetation productivity and facilitating the expansion of upright shrubs. We modeled the effects of warming on habitat suitability in green alder, dwarf birch, Labrador tea, bog bilberry, and lingonberry

Shrub expansion in tundra ecosystems: dynamics, impacts and research priorities [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Part of Focus on Dynamics of Arctic and Sub-Arctic Vegetation Recent research using repeat photography, long-term ecological monitoring and dendrochronology has documented shrub expansion in arctic, high-latitude and alpine tundra ecosystems. Here, we (1)

Evolutionary lability underlies drought adaptation of Australian shrubs along aridity gradients

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Leaf drought tolerance traits influence plant survival in water deficit conditions, and these traits are influenced by both the plant’s evolutionary history and the environment in which the plant is currently growing.

Understory effect on tree and cork growth in cork oak woodlands

open access: yesForest Systems, 2018
Aim of study: Cork oak is one of the main forest tree species in Portugal that typically occurs in montado, where operational practices oriented to the tree, crop or animal management may influence several of the ecosystem components. This study aimed at

Understory functional groups and fire history but not experimental warming drive tree seedling performance in unmanaged boreal forests

open access: yesFrontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2023
IntroductionSurvival and growth of tree seedlings are key processes of regeneration in forest ecosystems. However, little is known about how climate warming modulates seedling performance either directly or in interaction with understory vegetation and ...
