The Phytocoenotic Role of the Understory in the Development of Natural Regeneration and Ground Vegetation Cover in Scots Pine Forest Stands of the Shepetivka Polissia Region

open access: yesНаукові праці Лісівничої академії наук України
The influence of the understory on the formation of ground vegetation cover and natural regeneration of tree species was investigated in 56–90-year-old Scots pine forest stands of the Shepetivka Polissia.

Recovery of southern mountain caribou habitat following wildfire in Ulkatcho territory, British Columbia, Canada

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Caribou forage lichens were present in post‐burn lodgepole pine stands multiple decades before stem‐density was likely open enough to attract wintering caribou. We posit that the prolonged self‐thinning of lodgepole pine after fire may be a greater limiting factor than lichen abundance for habitat recovery in lodgepole pine forests.

Understory

open access: yes, 2015
The work ‘Understory’ investigates the notion of ‘Land’ as seen through the eyes of one Indigenous and two non-Indigenous artists. The work fuses two distinct approaches to Landscape painting traditionally at odds with one another.

Analysis of the relationship between L-band SAR backscatter and understory weed density in eucalyptus plantation forests

open access: yesGIScience & Remote Sensing
This study aims to reveal the relationships between understory coverage (principally, weed growth) beneath the canopies of Sumatran eucalyptus plantations and L-band backscatter data gathered by the PALSAR-2 Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) onboard the ...

Architecture of tree species of different strata developing in environments with the same light intensity in a semideciduous forest in southern Brazil

open access: yesActa Botânica Brasílica, 2014
We aimed to answer the following questions related to the architecture of individuals 0.5-3.0 m in height belonging to understory or canopy/emergent layer tree species: "Is there a difference between individuals belonging to different strata developing ...

Living on the edge: Habitat characteristics of northern myotis at the periphery of its distribution

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Northern myotis selected tall trees with minimal decay, in patches with other roosting options. In our study area, these trees occurred in narrow bands within an agricultural matrix, differing from contiguous forest at the core of the species' distribution. Nevertheless, bats selected the tallest trees in the densest patches available.

Forest Strata and Abiotic Factors Primarily Regulate Understory Species Richness Rather than Forest Type in a Temperate Forest of South Korea

open access: yesBiology
The 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 ...

Identifying Species and Monitoring Understorey from UAS-Derived Data: A Literature Review and Future Directions

open access: yesDrones, 2019
Understorey vegetation plays an important role in many ecosystems, yet identifying and monitoring understorey vegetation through remote sensing has proved a challenge for researchers and land managers because understorey plants tend to be small ...

Do eucalypt plantation management practices create understory reservoirs of scarab beetle pests in the soil?

open access: yes, 2013
Eucalypt management practices can affect the population dynamics of defoliating insects. To date, research has focused on how these practices alter eucalypt physiology and chemistry, which in turn affect canopy herbivores.
