Rapid thermophilization of understorey plant communities in a 9 year‐long temperate forest experiment

Journal of Ecology, 2020
The vast majority of plant biodiversity associated with temperate forests is harboured by the understorey layer. This layer also plays crucial roles in ecosystem functions such as tree regeneration, nutrient cycling and carbon dynamics.

Potential of TanDEM-X for forest parameter estimation [PDF]

, 2010
It was demonstrated that interferometric volume coherence is sensitive to vertical forest structure. This is true even for high frequencies as X-band. Resent Experiments demonstrated the potential of X-band to estimate key forest parameters like forest ...

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 ...

Erysiphe magnoliicola Comprises the Powdery Mildew Found on Magnolia kobus in Korea

한국균학회지, 2022
The powdery mildew found on Magnolia kobus was recorded as Microsphaera alni for the first time in Korea in 1975. After splitting M. alni into several distinct species, this mildew was regarded as Microsphaera magnifica, now Erysiphe magnifica.

Top-down control of herbivory by birds and bats in the canopy of temperate broad-leaved oaks (Quercus robur) [PDF]

, 2011
The intensive foraging of insectivorous birds and bats is well known to reduce the density of arboreal herbivorous arthropods but quantification of collateral leaf damage remains limited for temperate forest canopies.

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.

Plant diversity and soil stoichiometry regulates the changes in multifunctionality during pine temperate forest secondary succession.

Science of the Total Environment, 2019
The shift in ecosystem multifunctionality during ecosystem succession (years to decades) remains largely unexplored. In this study, we used a 120-year-old pine temperate forest chronosequence (1: 1-19 years, stage 2: 20-39 years, stage 3: 40-59 years ...

Die Baumkronenspinnen (Araneae) des Leipziger Auwaldes [PDF]

, 2012
The canopy spiders of the floodplain forest in Leipzig have become a focus of ecological studies in recent years. In 2006 we sampled 30 tree canopies in the ‘Burgaue’ nature reserve with pyrethrum knock-down fogging, recording 502 adult spiders belonging

Melanin's Role in Balancing Mechanical Strength and Reproductive Output in Environmentally Stressed Fungal Spores

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Melanin content directly controls fungal spore mechanical properties, with pigmented spores achieving rupture forces two orders of magnitude higher than hyaline spores. Environmental stress drives this quantity‐quality tradeoff; stressed species invest energy in melanin‐reinforced, mechanically superior thick‐walled, super‐hydrophobic spores, while ...
