Canscora agni (Gentianaceae), a new species from the fire‐prone Indian savannas
Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.We describe Canscora agni from the Indian savannas as a distinct species which differs from its allied species Canscora alata in having fewer and shorter leaves, pedicel‐wings unequal across the length, bracts with glandular hair on the margins, calyx‐wings being four, wider, up to 2.3 mm, with distinct reticulate venation and having ovary length up to

UAV Remote Sensing for Biodiversity Monitoring: Are Forest Canopy Gaps Good Covariates?
Remote Sensing, 2018 Forest canopy gaps are important to ecosystem dynamics. Depending on tree species, small canopy openings may be associated with intra-crown porosity and with space among crowns.

Habitat loss reshuffles ecological and evolutionary interactions in a seed dispersal network
Oikos, EarlyView.In tropical forests, habitat loss reshapes species composition, favoring generalists and recently emerged lineages while specialists and older evolutionary lineages are lost. However, how changes in species ecological attributes and evolutionary history affect ecological processes is poorly explored.

Remote Sensing, 2015 We present an efficient method for monitoring woody (i.e., evergreen) and herbaceous (i.e., ephemeral) vegetation in Mediterranean forests at a sub pixel scale from Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) time series derived from the Moderate ...

Oikos, EarlyView.As habitats change, the effectiveness of animal‐mediated seed dispersal increasingly depends on animal responses to altered structure and resources. With habitat loss and degradation accelerating across the tropics, understanding how dispersers' foraging behavior and movement influence seed removal and deposition is critical to promoting forest ...

Workshop: Stories of the Understory
Research Ideas and OutcomesThe forest understory plays a central role in ecological processes and human experiences of forests, yet it often remains overlooked in forest management and conservation. In this interdisciplinary workshop, researchers from Finland and Germany came together to explore the understory through multiple lenses—ecological, cultural, social, and sensory ...

Oikos, EarlyView.Forest restoration success depends crucially on the reinitiation of ecological processes such as seed arrival that drive natural regeneration. We know little about whether, by increasing and diversifying local seed sources to alleviate seed limitation, and attracting animal frugivores to alleviate dispersal limitation, restoration could shift seed ...

FEATURES OF THE STRUCTURE OF FOREST COVER ON THE EXAMPLE OF THE INTENSIVE LEVEL POLYGON “KIVACH” (REPUBLIC OF KARELIA) [PDF]
Вопросы лесной наукиThe study represents the results of the forest inventory observations (the data of forest stand, undergrowth, understory, coarse woody debris) based on the reconnaissance stage (the express assessment) of the research on the intensive level polygon ...
