Height increment of understorey Norway spruces under different tree canopies

Forest Ecosystems, 2014
Background Stands having advance regeneration of spruce are logical places to start continuous cover forestry (CCF) in fertile and mesic boreal forests. However, the development of advance regeneration is poorly known.

Exclusion of large herbivores affects understorey shrub vegetation more than herb vegetation across 147 forest sites in three German regions. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2019
BackgroundMany studies have analysed the effect of browsing by large herbivores on tree species but far fewer studies have studied their effect on understorey shrubs and herbs.

Plant species richness increases with light availability, but not variability, in temperate forests understorey [PDF]

BMC Ecology, 2020
Background Temperate forest understorey vegetation poses an excellent study system to investigate whether increases in resource availability lead to an increase in plant species richness.

Structural Attributes Outweigh Topographical Effects in Determining Vascular Plant Diversity Within Southern Apennine Old-Growth Forests. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Forest structure accounted for a larger unique fraction of vascular plant compositional variation in Southern Apennine old‐growth forests (23.5%) than topography alone (12.8%), with a substantial shared contribution between the two predictor sets.

Functional traits explain responses of Appalachian birds to vertical and horizontal forest structure. [PDF]

J Anim Ecol
The study of bird–forest relationships dates back decades, but rarely have the relationships of functional traits to 3D forest structure responses been considered for dozens of species at regional scales. Abstract Species interact with habitat based on their functional traits, but it is unclear how specific traits interact with the multiple components ...

Understorey-overstorey biotic and nutrient interactions are key factors for Pinus pinaster growth and development under oligotrophic conditions

, 2021
The main objective of this study was to examine the interactive effects of nutrient availability and understorey plants, including a nitrogen(N)-fixing shrub, on growth, physiology and survival of commercial maritime pines (Pinus pinaster Ait.).

Hybridisation as an Ecological Process: Admixed Individuals Contribute Substantially to Canopy Biomass in an Intertidal Macroalgal Hybrid Zone. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
On sheltered shores of the Swedish west coast, the canopy‐forming seaweeds Fucus spiralis and F. vesiculosus meet across an intertidal gradient only tens of centimetres wide. Genome‐wide data resolve two parental ancestry groups separated by a sharply bounded zone of admixed individuals whose position on the shore tracks depth.

Exploration of Understorey Vegetation's Beauty: Supporting Tourism Potential of Bukit Siguntang, Palembang

Journal of Indonesian Tourism and Development Studies, 2019
Bukit Siguntang Forest, an urban forest on a hill filled by trees that are believed to be a tomb complex of Malay kings. As an ecosystem, Bukit Siguntang Forest also consists of various understorey.

The effects of stand characteristics on the understory vegetation in Quercus petraea and Q. cerris dominated forests [PDF]

, 2013
The shelterwood system used in Hungary has many effects on the composition and structure of the herb layer. The aim of our study was to identify the main variables that affect the occurence of herbs and seedlings in Turkey oak-sessile oak (Quercus cerris

Understorey to canopy vertebrate fauna of a lowland evergreen forest in Mt. Makiling Forest Reserve, Philippines [PDF]

Biodiversity Data Journal, 2020
We examined the vertical stratification of forest wildlife, from the ground up to the canopy layer, within a 2-hectare permanent plot of lowland evergreen rainforest on the Mt. Makiling Forest Reserve. Our aim was to determine the species richness of the
