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.

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.

Global warming will affect the maximum potential abundance of boreal plant species [PDF]
, 2020 Forecasting the impact of future global warming on biodiversity requires understanding how temperature limits the distribution of species. Here we rely on Liebig's Law of Minimum to estimate the effect of temperature on the maximum potential abundance ...

Stand-level drivers of tree-species diversification in Mediterranean pine forests after abandonment of traditional practices [PDF]
, 2015 The progressive abandonment of traditional forest management over the last few decades has led to significant densification processes in most Mediterranean pine stands.

Contribution of leaf specular reflection to canopy reflectance under black soil case using stochastic radiative transfer model [PDF]
, 2018 Numerous canopy radiative transfer models have been proposed based on the assumption of “ideal bi-Lambertian leaves” with the aim of simplifying the interactions between photons and vegetation canopies.

The influence of leaf characteristics on epiphyllic cover : a test of hypotheses with artificial leaves [PDF]
, 1995 Studies of epiphyll ecology have been hindered by the biochemical and morphological variability of the leaf substrate. The use of artificial (plastic ribbon tape) leaves solved that problem in a study done at the Braulio Carrillo National Park, Costa ...
