Forest Strata and Abiotic Factors Primarily Regulate Understory Species Richness Rather than Forest Type in a Temperate Forest of South Korea [PDF]
BiologyThe understory vegetation forms an important ecosystem by providing habitat, cycling nutrients, and contributing to community diversity. However, previous studies have focused on identifying mechanisms between understory herbaceous diversity and abiotic ...

A Comparison of Flower and Grass Strips for Augmentation of Beneficial Arthropods in Apple Orchards
Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2021 Sowing plants that provide food resources in orchards is a potential habitat management practice for enhancing biological control. Flowering plants (providing pollen and nectar) and grasses (providing alternative prey) can benefit natural enemies in ...

Remote Sensing, 2021 Contemporary climate change leads to earlier spring phenological events in Europe. In forests, in which overstory strongly regulates the microclimate beneath, it is not clear if further change equally shifts the timing of leaf unfolding for the over- and

Effects of forest fragmentation on the vertical stratification of neotropical bats [PDF]
, 2020 Vertical stratification is a key component of the biological complexity of rainforests. Understanding community- and species-level responses to disturbance across forest strata is paramount for evidence-based conservation and management.

Effect of Land Use History on Biodiversity of Pine Plantations
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 The growing replacement of native vegetation by forest plantations is considered a global threat to biodiversity. Significant variation in biotic communities among stands with similar management suggests that previous land use might have an effect on the

Vertical stratification of selected Hymenoptera in a remnant forest of the Po Plain (Italy, Lombardy) (Hymenoptera: Ampulicidae, Crabronidae, Sphecidae) [PDF]
, 2017 Communities of the canopy of temperate forests are still relatively unexplored. Furthermore, very little is known on how vertical stratification for some insect groups is related to biological strategies.
