Human influence on late Holocene fire history in a mixed-conifer forest, Sierra National Forest, California
BackgroundUnderstanding pre-1850s fire history and its effect on forest structure can provide insights useful for fire managers in develo** plans...
-
A novel model to evaluate spatial structure in thinned conifer-broadleaved mixed natural forests
In order to ensure the effective analysis and reconstruction of forests, it is key to ensure the quantitative description of their spatial structure....

Effects of urbanization and forest type on species composition and diversity, forest characteristics, biomass carbon sink, and their associations in Changchun, Northeast China: implications for urban carbon stock improvement
Differences in forest attributes and carbon sequestration of each organ and layer between broadleaved and conifer forests of central and outer urban...
-
Divergent growth and responses of conifer and broad-leaved trees to warming-drying climate in a semi-arid region, northern China
Forests provide irreplaceable ecosystem services for human society and prevent environmental degradation but climate change has substantially...

Conifer and broadleaf trees show a strong co-evolution with rhizosphere diazotrophic microbiome
Background and AimsFree living, non-symbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacteria (diazotrophs) that inhabit plant rhizosphere substantially contribute to...

Future transitions from a conifer to a deciduous-dominated landscape are accelerated by greater wildfire activity and climate change in interior Alaska
ContextIn interior Alaska, increasing wildfire activity associated with climate change is projected to continue, potentially altering regional forest...

Soil microbial legacy determines mycorrhizal colonization and root traits of conifer seedlings during subalpine forest succession
AimSoil microbial legacy is a potentially important regulator of the associations of plants and mycorrhizal fungi. However, our understanding of how...

Unexpected Negative Effect of Available Water Capacity Detected on Recent Conifer Forest Growth Trends Across Wide Environmental Gradients
National Forest Inventories (NFIs) perform systematic forest surveys across space and time. They are hence powerful tools to understand climate...
-
A fast spectral recovery does not necessarily indicate post-fire forest recovery
BackgroundClimate change has increased wildfire activity in the western USA and limited the capacity for forests to recover post-fire, especially in...

Understory physical structures reduce browsing damage to palatable shrubs in a dry conifer forest, western North America
High densities of cattle ( Bos taurus ) and wild ungulates (Rocky Mountain elk, Cervus canadensis ; mule deer, Odocoileus hemionus ) have impacted the...

Spatial and Temporal Shifts of Endophytic Bacteria in Conifer Seedlings of Abies religiosa (Kunth) Schltdl. & Cham.
Endophytes play an important role in plant development, survival, and establishment, but their temporal dynamics in young conifer plants are still...

Conifer quantitative wood anatomy as proxy data: application in agricultural yield reconstruction
Key MessageThe principal components of tree-ring anatomical chronologies of Scots pine proved to be much better proxy than its tree-ring width for...

Forest Ecosystems
If you were to witness a massive logging event in a forested watershed, what would you expect in terms of possible biological, physical, chemical,...
-
Spatial and temporal drivers of post-fire tree establishment and height growth in a managed forest landscape
BackgroundIn seed-obligate conifer forests of the western US, land managers need a better understanding of the spatiotemporal variability in...

Distribution of Avian Species in Different Forest Structures and Their Association with Vegetation Community: A Case Study in the Nandprayag Region of Chamoli District, Uttarakhand, India
AbstractVarying species distribution patterns as impacted by forest structures is a universal feature of ecology. The present study was conducted to...

Acadian forest resilience to clearcutting: implications for even-aged management in late-successional northern temperate forests
This study examines the recovery of late-successional forests in the Acadian Forest Region of northeastern North America after anthropogenic canopy...

Finding of the Western Conifer Seed Bug Leptoglossus occidentalis (Heteroptera: Coreidae) in the Voronezh State Nature Reserve (Central Russia)
AbstractA female of the western conifer seed bug Leptoglossus occidentalis (Heidemann, 1910) was found on a window of the main administrative...

Forest management scenarios drive future dynamics of Mediterranean planted pine forests under climate change
ContextPlanted pine forests are highly abundant communities in the Mediterranean Basin. Being the result of past reforestation, these forests show...
