DOI: 10.1007/s00442-018-4292-2
Abstract: Modifications to disturbance regimes have landscape-level effects on plant communities and have the potential to influence organisms at multiple trophic levels. We examined differences in the arthropod community across a gradient of oak/hickory dominance, a… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11104-019-04145-3
Abstract: AimsWhile patterns of variation in woody plant aboveground traits related to disturbance and resource availability in savanna ecosystems are fairly well understood, dimensions of variation in belowground traits remain poorly understood. We investigate how sapling… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2018.05.025
Abstract: Abstract Reforestation schemes, which encompass environmental plantings and natural regeneration of vegetation on cleared land, are increasingly being established for the purposes of mitigating anthropogenic carbon emissions. However, these schemes are themselves at risk from… read more here.

DOI: 10.1071/wr19198
Abstract: Abstract Context There is an increasing awareness that feral cats play a key role in driving the ongoing decline of small mammals across northern Australia; yet, the factors that control the distribution, abundance and behaviour… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/gcb.16531
Abstract: Over the last decades, the natural disturbance is increasingly putting pressure on European forests. Shifts in disturbance regimes may compromise forest functioning and the continuous provisioning of ecosystem services to society, including their climate change… read more here.

DOI: 10.1134/s1067413617060145
Abstract: To understand the effects of different disturbance regimes on the bud bank demography in perennial grasslands, we conducted a demographic field investigation of the bud bank in a typical steppe on the Loess Plateau. Grazing… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fevo.2019.00147
Abstract: With the accumulating evidence of changing disturbance regimes becoming increasingly obvious, there is potential for disturbance ecology to become the most valuable lens through which climate-related disturbance events are interpreted. In this paper, I revisit… read more here.
