Same, but different: similar states of forest structure in temperate mountain regions of Europe despite different social-ecological forest disturbance regimes
ContextEcosystem services provided by mountain forests are critically linked to forest structure. Social-ecological disturbance regimes (i.e., the...

Assessment of large-scale multiple forest disturbance susceptibilities with AutoML framework: an Izmir Regional Forest Directorate case
Disturbances such as forest fires, intense winds, and insect damage exert strong impacts on forest ecosystems by sha** their structure and growth...
-
Sustained Three-Year Declines in Forest Soil Respiration are Proportional to Disturbance Severity
Soil respiration ( R s ) is the largest outward flux of carbon (C) from terrestrial ecosystems, accounting for more than half of total temperate forest...

Landscape configuration and storm characteristics drive spatial patterns of wind disturbance in boreal forest landscapes
ContextWind is an important disturbance in circumboreal forests, and its frequency and severity may change with climate change, highlighting the need...

Resilient fruit-feeding butterfly assemblages across a Caatinga dry forest chronosequence submitted to chronic anthropogenic disturbance
AbstractInterest in forest regeneration has increased as secondary forests in regeneration process are cited as the forests of the future. However,...

Respiratory Acclimation of Tropical Forest Roots in Response to In Situ Experimental Warming and Hurricane Disturbance
Climate projections predict higher temperatures and more frequent hurricanes in the tropics. Tropical plants subjected to these stresses may respond...
-
Disturbance Level Mediates the Differential Resistance of Tropical Dry Forest Soil and Vegetation Attributes to High-Intensity Hurricanes
Hurricanes are extreme climatic events frequently affecting tropical regions such as the tropical dry forests (TDFs) in Mexico, where its...

Edge effects of a linear disturbance on the abundance and reproduction of an annual, Melampyrum lineare, in the boreal forest
We examined edge effects of narrow linear openings on the performance of cow-wheat ( Melampyrum lineare, Desr.), an herbaceous annual and facultative...

Regeneration response of Vepris dainellii, an endemic species of Ethiopia to disturbance in moist forest ecosystem
Examining the regeneration response of species is one of the key ecological analyses vital to understanding and predicting the spatial structure of...

Effects of land-use change and disturbance on the fine root biomass, dynamics, morphology, and related C and N fluxes to the soil of forest ecosystems at different elevations at Mt. Kilimanjaro (Tanzania)
Tropical forests are threatened by anthropogenic activities such as conversion into agricultural land, logging and fires. Land-use change and...

Where the risk is more intense: riparian forests keep the euglossine bees community most affected by anthropic disturbance in the Caatinga dry forest
Anthropogenic disturbances have drastic negative effects on the biodiversity, thereby also compromising the ecosystem service it provides. Bees are...

Disturbances and Disturbance Regimes
Disturbance ecology is an expansive topic complicated by the reality that it is a scientific discipline that also directly engages the general...

Assessing Anthropogenic Pressure of Forest Villages in Semi-arid Forest Ecosystem in Western India using Cumulative Disturbance Index (CDI)
AbstractHuman communities living in and around the forest are highly dependent on the forest for subsistence and livelihood. Kailadevi Wildlife...

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,...

Natural Disturbance
Natural disturbances remove biomass from wetlands. In extreme cases, they also remove the substrate. Natural disturbances tend to increase biological...
-
N-fertilization and disturbance exert long-lasting complex legacies on subarctic ecosystems
Subarctic ecosystems are subjected to increasing nitrogen (N) enrichment and disturbances that induce particularly strong effects on plant...
-
Millennial-Scale Disturbance History of the Boreal Zone
Long-term disturbance histories, reconstructed using diverse paleoecological tools, provide high-quality information about pre-observational periods....
-
Invertebrate-Mediated Ecosystem Processes are Resilient to Disturbance Across a Land-Use Gradient in Borneo
A fundamental challenge for ecologists is to evaluate the effects of anthropogenic disturbance on ecosystem processes and functions. Tropical...
-
Disturbance history, neighborhood crowding and soil conditions jointly shape tree growth in temperate forests
Understanding how different mechanisms act and interact in sha** communities and ecosystems is essential to better predict their future with global...

Aridity, but not disturbance, reduces the specialization and modularity of plant–insect herbivore interaction networks in Caatinga dry forest
AbstractPlant–herbivore networks comprise over 40% of the global biodiversity and are negatively impacted by habitat loss and fragmentation. However,...
