DOI: 10.1002/etc.5330
Abstract: Forest harvesting affects dissolved organic matter (DOM) and aqueous mercury inputs as well as the food web structure in small‐headwater streams, but how these upstream changes manifest downstream is unclear. To address this uncertainty, we… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10980-020-01133-2
Abstract: Context Insectivorous birds are sensitive to forest disturbances that may limit the availability of food consisting mainly of invertebrates. However, birds and invertebrates may be differently affected by forest disturbances while invertebrates may interact with… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11629-017-4428-6
Abstract: The soil microbiome that plays important ecological roles in mountains and forests is influenced by anthropogenic and natural causes. Human activity, particularly harvesting or thinning, affects the soil microbiome in forests by altering environmental conditions,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.agrformet.2021.108615
Abstract: Abstract The microclimate dynamics under forest crown fundamentally drive plant community responses to global warming. The understory air and soil temperatures are two of the most important components of forest understory microclimate. However, there is… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/aob/mcab064
Abstract: BACKGROUND AND AIMS Hedgerows have been shown to improve forest connectivity, leading to an increased probability of species to track the shifting bioclimatic envelopes. However, it is still unknown how species in hedgerows respond to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/cobi.13998
Abstract: As the area covered by human‐modified environments grows, it is increasingly important to understand the responses of communities to the novel habitats created, especially for sensitive and threatened taxa. We aimed to improve understanding of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s12898-020-00315-5
Abstract: Background Forest habitats are important biodiversity refuges for a wide variety of bird species. Parasitism may modulate host species presence and abundance, and parasite effects can change according to forest management practices. Such processes are… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0191017
Abstract: Real-time positioning on mobile devices using global navigation satellite system (GNSS) technology paired with radio frequency (RF) transmission (GNSS-RF) may help to improve safety on logging operations by increasing situational awareness. However, GNSS positional accuracy… read more here.
