DOI: 10.1016/j.ecolind.2018.08.011
Abstract: Abstract In Europe, assessment of the ecological function of forests is increasingly important as evidenced by Natura 2000, which has seen the establishment of protected sites that are of ecological importance. The presence of canopy… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2019.117592
Abstract: Abstract Acacia spp. are important tropical forest trees but their commercial value may be limited by expression of poor apical dominance and extensive lateral branching. Multiple-aged and gap silviculture may harness the developmental plasticity of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1071/wr17110
Abstract: Abstract Context. Terrestrial reptiles require varied thermal environments to promote optimal physiological performance, growth, reproduction, and survival. Aims. Our study was designed to determine whether gap-based silvicultural practices offer suitable thermal environments for eastern box… read more here.

Carbon flux and forest dynamics: Increased deadwood decomposition in tropical rainforest tree-fall canopy gaps.

DOI: 10.1111/gcb.15488
Abstract: Tree mortality rates are increasing within tropical rainforests as a result of global environmental change. When trees die, gaps are created in forest canopies and carbon is transferred from the living to deadwood pools. However,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1139/cjfr-2016-0521
Abstract: Documenting succession in forest canopy gaps provides insights into the ecological processes governing the temporal dynamics of species within communities. We analyzed the fruiting patterns of a rare but widely distributed saproxylic macromycete, Xylobolus subpileatus,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1139/cjfr-2017-0340
Abstract: The use of LiDAR in the study of gap regimes has seen significant progress in recent years. Researchers have assumed that canopy gaps that are detected in this manner were ecologically equivalent to gaps sampled… read more here.
