Wood Thrush (Hylocichla mustelina) occupancy patterns reveal sensitivity to low precipitation on nonbreeding grounds in northern Costa Rica

Ibis, EarlyView.
Climatic change and anthropogenic disturbances are reshaping animal populations. Habitat loss and extreme climatic events are particularly strong drivers of declines in species that depend on forested areas. For migratory songbirds, climate and the persistence of suitable habitat over time are fundamental to sustaining populations annually.

Similarity Analysis of Understorey Plant Species in Forest Areas [PDF]

, 2022
Many forests have substantial understorey plants. These plants have an important contribution to soil and water conservation. The similarity index determines the resemblance of species structure and composition in a community.

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

Predicting Understorey VegetationCover from Overstorey Attributes in Two Temperate MountainForests [PDF]

, 2018
Summary : It is important to develop a predictive understanding for the environmental controls on understorey vegetation, which harbor most of the plant biodiversity and are the source of food and cover for wildlife. Forest succession models (i. e.

Primary forest dynamics in lowland dipterocarp forest at Danum Valley, Sabah, Malaysia, and the role of the understorey [PDF]

, 1999
Changes in species composition in two 4–ha plots of lowland dipterocarp rainforest at Danum, Sabah, were measured over ten years (1986 to 1996) for trees greater than or equal to 10 cm girth at breast height (gbh).

Kelp‐boulder transplants for habitat restoration

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Degraded habitats present a major barrier to the survival and recovery of threatened marine species, particularly where structural or biogenic complexity has been lost, and natural regeneration ability is uncertain. Despite growing interest in habitat restoration, techniques rarely deliver rapid improvements at the necessary ...

Performance of planted native seedlings in felled strips within Pinus radiata plantation forest

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Exotic plantations could facilitate native forest restoration through a managed transition utilizing partial harvest, poisoning, or natural senescence of the plantation. Objectives To explore canopy gap creation and herbivore exclusion in a Pinus radiata plantation on planted seedlings of three native tree species.

Mapping and verifying potential continuous cover forestry areas from LiDAR data

Trees, Forests and People
Continuous cover forestry (CCF) is a forest management approach where clear-cuts are avoided. Instead, the largest trees are removed, which leaves room for the smaller trees to mature, and enables natural regeneration in the canopy gaps.

Exploring the Potential of the MandEye Handheld LiDAR System for Mediterranean Understorey Characterisation [PDF]

The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences
Despite the rapid expansion of Mobile Laser Scanning in forestry, the optimal deployment of affordable handheld LiDAR systems for forest characterisation, particularly at understorey level, remains underexplored.
