Oikos, EarlyView.Many key ecosystem functions are affected by plant roots and their traits. However, understanding of the patterns in, and drivers of, root traits lags far behind equivalent knowledge of above‐ground tissues, particularly in boreal old growth forests. We surveyed community‐level root traits across 11 old growth forests spanning a wide latitudinal range ...

Understory species richness in an urban forest fragment, Pernambuco, Brazil [PDF]
Biotemas, 2009 This study characterizes the floristic composition of the understory of Parque Estadual de Dois Irmãos, (08°01’15.1”S and 34°56’3.2”W), an area of about 370ha characterized as a lowland ombrophilous dense forest.

Acta Amazonica, 2004 The herb community of tropical forests is very little known, with few studies addressing its structure quantitatively. Even with this scarce body of information, it is clear that the ground herbs are a rich group, comprising 14 to 40% of the species ...

Patterns of tropical forest understory temperatures
Nature CommunicationsAbstractTemperature is a fundamental driver of species distribution and ecosystem functioning. Yet, our knowledge of the microclimatic conditions experienced by organisms inside tropical forests remains limited. This is because ecological studies often rely on coarse-gridded temperature estimates representing the conditions at 2 m height in an open-air

Reindeer grazing induces spatial and functional shifts in root systems of boreal pine forests
Oikos, EarlyView.The spatial distribution of roots, laterally and vertically, is critical for nutrient and water uptake and for driving root‐associated carbon inputs and turnover. Large herbivores, such as reindeer, influence ecosystems belowground by altering aboveground vegetation composition and soil microclimate.

Oikos, EarlyView.Understanding how different drivers of global change interact to shape ecological processes remains a major challenge in ecology. Climate change is reshuffling the interactions that structure communities, with major implications for biological invasions.

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
