Light-related variation in sapling architecture of three shade-tolerant tree species of the Mexican rain forest [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The crown architecture of three shade-tolerant tree species (two subcanopy and one mid-canopy) was analyzed in relation to the light regime of the forest understorey.

Adaptation of understorey herbs to forest management

open access: yes, 2023
In our rapidly changing world, land use has been recognized as having one of the strongest impacts on species and genetic diversity. The present state of temperate forests in Europe is a product of decisions made by former and current management and ...

Tree Species Vulnerability to Fire Increases at Dry Range Edge

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 4, December 2026.
Following severe drought and fire, some tree species experience increased tree mortality, topkill (death of above‐ground biomass) and lower rates of seedling recruitment at the dry edge of their ranges, while other species maintain resilience, exhibiting low rates of mortality and topkill and high rates of recruitment across their ranges.

Effects of thinning on forest structure and composition in the Wungong catchment, Western Australia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The focus of jarrah (Eucalyptus marginata Donn ex. Smith) forest management in past decades has been changing in response to forest management practices of the day, interests and needs of the forest users and more recently a changing climate.

A First Indication That Rainforest Vine Proliferation Does Not Enhance Predator–Prey Interactions on the Forest Floor

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 10, Page 1229-1241, October 2026.
Vine proliferation is a widespread consequence of tropical forest disturbance, yet its effects on ground‐level predator–prey interactions remain poorly understood. Using plasticine caterpillars deployed on the rainforest floor in north Queensland, Australia, we show that overall predation rates were unaffected by vine‐to‐tree ratio. Instead, fine‐scale

Manipulating ungulate herbivory in temperate and boreal forests: effects on vegetation and invertebrates. A systematic review

open access: yesEnvironmental Evidence, 2018
Background Livestock grazing and ‘overabundance’ of large wild herbivores in forested areas have long been perceived as conflicting with the aims of both silviculture and forest conservation; however, certain kinds of herbivory can help to maintain ...

Phosphorus addition shifts elevated CO2 effects on soil respiration from rhizosphere to root pathways in a mature eucalypt woodland

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 252, Issue 1, Page 100-113, October 2026.
Summary diagram of the utilization of additional carbohydrates fixed under elevated CO2 belowground in natural low‐phosphorus (P) (a) and P‐fertilized (b) conditions. Soil respiration consists of heterotrophic respiration from microbial activity in bulk soil, autotrophic respiration from fine‐root activity and rhizomicrobial respiration driven by ...

Understorey plant diversity under seven tropical and subtropical plantation species

open access: yes, 2016
The aim of this study was to determine if the number of understorey species in Eucalyptus plantation was less compared with that in plantations of other common tropical and subtropical species. Meta study was used to collect information for assessing the

Nonuniform temperature and light relationships of moss‐associated nitrogen fixation across climates

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 252, Issue 1, Page 276-291, October 2026.
Light, moisture, and temperature response of nitrogen fixation in moss–cyanobacteria associations across five climatically contrasting ecosystems. Responses of nitrogen fixation in moss–cyanobacteria associations to light (μmol photons m−2 s−1), moss relative water content (%), and temperature (°C) across five climatically contrasting ecosystems ...
