Shrub facilitation increases plant diversity along an arid scrubland-temperate rainforest boundary in South America [PDF]

, 2012
Theoretical models predict nurse plant facilitation enhances species richness by ameliorating stressful environmental conditions and expanding distributional ranges of stress-intolerant species into harsh environments.

Yeasts from temperate forests

Yeast, 2022
AbstractYeasts are ubiquitous in temperate forests. While this broad habitat is well‐defined, the yeasts inhabiting it and their life cycles, niches, and contributions to ecosystem functioning are less understood. Yeasts are present on nearly all sampled substrates in temperate forests worldwide.

Tree regeneration characteristics in limestone forests of the Cat Ba National Park, Vietnam

BMC Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Background The ability of overstory tree species to regenerate successfully is important for the preservation of tree species diversity and its associated flora and fauna.

Quantifying Understory Complexity in Unmanaged Forests Using TLS and Identifying Some of Its Major Drivers

Remote Sensing, 2021
The structural complexity of the understory layer of forests or shrub layer vegetation in open shrublands affects many ecosystem functions and services provided by these ecosystems.

Above‐ and below‐ground biodiversity jointly regulate temperate forest multifunctionality along a local‐scale environmental gradient

Journal of Ecology, 2020
Tree diversity has been shown to promote a broad range of ecosystem functions in forests. However, how important these effects are in driving ecosystem multifunctionality in natural forests, relative to other drivers, such as below‐ground biodiversity (e.

Globally consistent climate sensitivity of natural disturbances across boreal and temperate forest ecosystems

Ecography, 2020
Disturbance regimes are changing in forests across the world in response to global climate change. Despite the profound impacts of disturbances on ecosystem services and biodiversity, assessments of disturbances at the global scale remain scarce.

Metabolome and Transcriptome Analyses Reveal Flower Color Differentiation Mechanisms in Various Sophora japonica L. Petal Types

Biology, 2023
Sophora japonica L. is an important landscaping and ornamental tree species throughout southern and northern parts of China. The most common color of S. japonica petals is yellow and white. In this study, S.

Tree species traits affect which natural enemies drive the Janzen-Connell effect in a temperate forest

Nature Communications, 2020
A prominent tree species coexistence mechanism suggests host-specific natural enemies inhibit seedling recruitment at high conspecific density (negative conspecific density dependence).

Quantifying the target state of forest stands managed with the continuous cover approach – revisiting Möller's “Dauerwald” concept after 100 years

Trees, Forests and People, 2020
Continuous cover forestry is often considered a management alternative to age-class forestry, in closer compliance with economic as well as societal demands. It is further thought to provide forest stands of high stability and resilience under conditions

Predicting Tree Species From 3D Laser Scanning Point Clouds Using Deep Learning

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Automated species classification from 3D point clouds is still a challenge. It is, however, an important task for laser scanning-based forest inventory, ecosystem models, and to support forest management.
