Seasonal Patterns in Spectral Irradiance and Leaf UV-A Absorbance Under Forest Canopies

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2020
Plants commonly respond to UV radiation through the accumulation of flavonoids and related phenolic compounds which potentially ameliorate UV-damage to crucial internal structures.

The productivity of Maku Lotus as a forest understorey

open access: yesProceedings of the New Zealand Grassland Association, 1991
Oversowing Lotus uliginosus cv. 'Grasslands Maku' offers considerable scope for improvement of understorey forage production in New Zealand's plantation forests. In a grazing trial in Kaingaroa Forest annual forage yields of predominantly Maku lotus were 3000-5000 kg/ha dry matter (DM) from tree age 4-7 years but declined to 1000-3000 kg DM/ha by age ...

Counteracting gradients of light and soil nutrients in the understorey of Mediterranean oak forests [PDF]

open access: yesWeb Ecology, 2006
The forest canopy modifies the availability of resources (light, water, and soil nutrients) in the understorey. In this paper we analyze the relationships between woody canopy density, litter accumulation, and topsoil N and P availability in the ...

The understorey of gorgonian forests in mesophotic temperate reefs [PDF]

open access: yesAquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, 2018
Abstract In the Mediterranean Sea, dense populations of the gorgonian Paramuricea clavata shape marine animal forests, characterizing the seascapes of coralligenous habitats. Despite concerns for its health, with several anthropogenic threats and recent mass mortality events, mainly triggered by thermal anomalies, the understorey of its forests and ...

Influence of total interception on the surface runoff in a decline mountain spruce forest

open access: yesFrontiers in Environmental Science
In the last decade, dieback has affected not only non-native monoculture spruce forests at lower altitudes but also mountain spruce forests. For this reason, measurements of precipitation, throughfall, and surface runoff were carried out in the dead and ...

Population structure of Rudgea parquioides (Rubiaceae), a shade-tolerant shrub species, in Southern Brazil

open access: yesAnais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2010
The expectations that shade-tolerant forest species show 1) a population structure composed by a high amount of small individuals, and 2) biomass allocation for diameter higher than for height growth, were tested for Rudgea parquioides, a typical shrub ...
