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...

Comparing long-term patterns of spread of native and invasive plants in a successional forest
A fundamental question in invasive plant ecology is whether invasive and native plants have different ecological roles. Differences in functional...

Light competition drives species replacement during secondary tropical forest succession
Light competition is thought to drive successional shifts in species dominance in closed vegetations, but few studies have assessed this for...

Use of tree species by three species of Magicicada (Hemiptera: Cicadidae) in an Appalachian forest
Periodical cicadas ( Magicicada spp.) are endemic to deciduous forests in the eastern United States. In successional forests, they must partition...

The importance of tree species identity and trait-based winter foraging ecology of bark-foraging bird species in a large Central European floodplain forest
Beyond preferences for particular species of tree, bark-foraging birds are associated with various tree characteristics such as decay stage, trunk...
