Understorey fire frequency and the fate of burned forests in southern Amazonia [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2013 Recent drought events underscore the vulnerability of Amazon forests to understorey fires. The long-term impact of fires on biodiversity and forest carbon stocks depends on the frequency of fire damages and deforestation rates of burned forests.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.ABSTRACT Our overall aim was to assess the sustainability of exploitation of slow‐growing, long‐lived intertidal Ascophyllum nodosum forests. They have been mechanically harvested for almost 50 years in Breiðafjörður, Iceland, but there is a lack of long‐term local research as various local factors can impact the recovery time of Ascophyllum.

Leaf Size in Conifers: Global Associations With Climate and Evolutionary History
Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 7, July 2026.Global patterns in leaf size are linked to climatic trade‐offs, so we explore these relationships in a major group of plants, the conifers. Using contemporary phylogenetic methods, we show that conifers display a strong pattern of evolutionary conservatism in the association of leaf size with climate, and highlight that these relationships are driven ...

Line understorey: shelter for biodiversity ?
, 2019 L'agroforesterie intraparcellaire est une pratique agricole qui consiste à planter des rangées d'arbres dans les champs. Les arbres sont associés à des bandes de végétation "sauvage", appelées linéaires sous-arborés. Certains agriculteurs agroforestiers craignent que la végétation "sauvage" disperse dans la culture et entraîne des pertes de rendement ...

Vertical stratification of bat assemblages in flooded and unflooded Amazonian forests
Current Zoology, 2010 Tropical rainforests usually have multiple strata that results in a vertical stratification of ecological opportunities for animals. We investigated if this stratification influences the way bats use the vertical space in flooded and unflooded forests of

Ibis, Volume 168, Issue 3, Page 1055-1070, July 2026.Non‐native species are one of the greatest threats to biodiversity worldwide due to their direct and indirect effects on native communities. There are two opposing hypotheses to explain how non‐native species successfully establish outside their native range.

Evaluation of “restinga” plants establishment facilitated by Eucalyptus sp. at Joaquina Beach, Santa Catarina Island, SC, Brazil [PDF]
Biotemas, 2007 Over a period of 16 years, we verified the establishment of shrub and tree species in the understorey of patches of the exotic Eucalyptus sp., which were no more than 5m in height.
