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

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

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 ...

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
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
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 ...
