Leaf support biomechanics of neotropical understory herbs [PDF]
American Journal of Botany, 2004 Plants in light‐limited tropical rainforest understories face an important carbon allocation trade‐off: investment of available carbon into photosynthetic tissue should be advantageous, while risk of damage and mortality from falling debris favors investment into nonphotosynthetic structural tissue.

Unexpected earthworm effects on forest understory plants [PDF]
BMC Ecology, 2013 Introduced earthworms are widespread in forests of North America creating significant negative impacts on forest understory communities. However, much of the reported evidence for negative earthworm effects comes from field investigations either comparing invaded and non-invaded forests or across invasion fronts.

Forest floor vegetation in Sweden [PDF]
, 2012 In boreal forests, dwarf-shrubs (Vaccinium spp.) often dominate the forest floor and are key-stone species in ecosystems due to their importance for nutrient cycling and as a major food source for herbivores. Forestry affects the vegetation both directly

Occurrence, morphology and growth of understory saplings in Swedish forests [PDF]
, 2004 Growing demands for a multipurpose forestry leads to increased use of silvicultural systems that avoid clear-cutting. Regeneration in such systems is based on establishment and ingrowth of new seedlings under a more or less closed canopy.

Dispersal and establishment both limit colonization during primary succession on a glacier foreland [PDF]
, 2009 Plant colonization can be limited by lack of seeds or by factors that reduce establishment. The role of seed limitation in community assembly is being increasingly recognized, but in early primary succession, establishment failure is still considered ...

LiDAR Characterization of Boreal Understory
, 2021 The understory vegetation layer contributes considerably to the physical structure of boreal forests. This research sought to understand the relationships between field- and LiDAR- (light detection and ranging-) derived measures of boreal understory structure. As well as how environmental factors may influence discrepancies that can arise between these
