Effect of moisture on leaf litter decomposition and its contribution to soil respiration in a temperate forest [PDF]

, 2007
The degree to which increased soil respiration rates following wetting is caused by plant (autotrophic) versus microbial (heterotrophic) processes, is still largely uninvestigated. Incubation studies suggest microbial processes play a role but it remains

Efficient measurements of basal area in short rotation forests based on terrestrial laser scanning under special consideration of shadowing

iForest - Biogeosciences and Forestry, 2014
Terrestrial laser scanning has been used in forest research for about ten years and use-orientated applications are of increasing importance. The effect of shadowing in single location laser scanning, e.g., as used for biomass estimations, has not been ...

Linkages between Phosphorus and Plant Diversity in Central European Forest Ecosystems—Complementarity or Competition? [PDF]

, 2019
The phosphorus nutrition status of European forests has decreased significantly in recent decades. For a deeper understanding of complementarity and competition in terms of P acquisition in temperate forests, we have analyzed α-diversity, organic layer ...

Testing mechanisms of compensatory fitness of dioecy in a cosexual world [PDF]

, 2019
Questions: All else being equal, populations of dioecious species with a 50:50 sex ratio have only half the effective reproductive population size of bisexual species of equal abundance. Consequently, there is a need to explain how dioecious and bisexual

Effects of Lightning on Trees: A Predictive Model Based on in situ Electrical Resistivity [PDF]

, 2017
The effects of lightning on trees range from catastrophic death to the absence of observable damage. Such differences may be predictable among tree species, and more generally among plant life history strategies and growth forms.

Quantifying the effects of harvesting on carbon fluxes and stocks in northern temperate forests [PDF]

, 2014
Harvest disturbance has substantial impacts on forest carbon (C) fluxes and stocks. The quantification of these effects is essential for the better understanding of forest C dynamics and informing forest management in the context of global change.

Host plant diversity and potential habitat prediction of Korthalsella japonica (Thunb.) Engl. in Jeju Island, South Korea

Journal of Ecology and Environment
Background: Parasitic mistletoes infect a wide range of host plants, and when infestation density is high, they alter host resource allocation and canopy structure, thereby affecting ecosystem components including light regimes and understory vegetation.

Vertical stratification of selected Hymenoptera in a remnant forest of the Po Plain (Italy, Lombardy) (Hymenoptera: Ampulicidae, Crabronidae, Sphecidae) [PDF]

, 2017
Communities of the canopy of temperate forests are still relatively unexplored. Furthermore, very little is known on how vertical stratification for some insect groups is related to biological strategies.

Deriving Stand Structural Complexity from Airborne Laser Scanning Data—What Does It Tell Us about a Forest?

Remote Sensing, 2020
The three-dimensional forest structure is an important driver of several ecosystem functions and services. Recent advancements in laser scanning technologies have set the path to measuring structural complexity directly from 3D point clouds.

The Distribution of Lianas and Their Change in Abundance in Temperate Forests Over the Past 45 Years [PDF]

, 2006
Lianas (woody vines) are an important and dynamic component of many forests throughout the world, and increases in CO2, mean winter temperature, and forest fragmentation may promote their growth and proliferation in temperate forests.
