DOI: 10.1002/2017jd026817
Abstract: Vertical structure of turbulence within a forest canopy is complex as a result of interactions between the flow dynamics, stability, and vegetation. It remains unclear as to how the combination of the changing stability, flow… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.4193
Abstract: Abstract Forest canopies and tree crown structures are of high ecological importance. Measuring canopies and crowns by direct inventory methods is time‐consuming and of limited accuracy. High‐resolution inventory tools, in particular terrestrial laser scanning (TLS),… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.5462
Abstract: Abstract Light is a key driver of forest biodiversity and functioning. Light regimes beneath tree canopies are mainly driven by the solar angle, topography, and vegetation structure, whose three‐dimensional complexity creates heterogeneous light conditions that… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9739
Abstract: Abstract Our understanding of how bees (Apoidea) use temperate forests is largely limited to sampling the understory and forest floor. Studies over the last decade have demonstrated that bee communities are vertically stratified within forests,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecs2.2311
Abstract: Tropical forests are hyper-diverse and perform critical functions that regulate global climate, yet they are also threatened by rising temperatures. Canopy temperatures depart considerably from air temperatures, sometimes by as much as air temperatures are… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecs2.70021
Abstract: Ecological zonation in coastal forests is driven by sea level rise and storm‐surge events. Mature trees that can survive moderately saline conditions show signs of stress when soil salinity increases above its tolerance levels. As… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecs2.70302
Abstract: Climate change is reducing snowpack across temperate regions with negative consequences for human and natural systems. Because forest canopies create microclimates that preserve snowpack, managing forests to support snow refugia—defined here as areas that remain… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecs2.70396
Abstract: Microsites beneath shrub canopies in dryland landscapes characterized by a mosaic of bare ground and patchy vegetation are often considered critical for the establishment of understory species. “Shrub islands” can create more favorable environmental conditions… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/lno.70254
Abstract: The biogenic structure of foundation species provides critical habitat for coastal marine taxa. In temperate ecosystems, forests of large, canopy‐forming macroalgae (Macrocystis pyrifera, Nereocystis luetkeana) support rich communities of fishes and macroinvertebrates. However, it is… read more here.
