Environmental changes during secondary succession in a tropical dry forest in Mexico [PDF]

, 2011
Vegetation and environment change mutually during secondary succession, yet the idiosyncrasies of the vegetation effect on the understorey environment are poorly understood. To test whether the successional understorey environment changes predictably and

Unprecedented Warming and Increased Herbivory Drive Collapse of Japan's Kelp Forests. [PDF]

Glob Chang Biol
Rapid warming during the Kuroshio Large Meander intensified marine heatwaves beyond kelp physiological limits while simultaneously extending grazing windows of thermally expanding herbivorous fishes. This synergistic interaction between climate‐driven thermal stress and prolonged herbivory triggered kelp forest collapse and a persistent shift to barren

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

Frontiers 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 ...

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

Web 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 ...

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

Anais 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 ...

Trees out-forage understorey shrubs for nitrogen patches in a subarctic mountain birch forest [PDF]

, 2022
Nitrogen (N), acquired by roots and mycorrhizal fungi and supplied to plant foliage, is a growth-limiting nutrient at the subarctic treeline. Due to this limitation, interspecific competition and acquisition of N is an important control on plant ...
