DOI: 10.1002/ecy.4098
Abstract: Many studies have focused on vegetation across forest edges to study impacts of edges created by human activities on forest structure and composition, or patterns of vegetation at inherent natural edges. Our objective was to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10021-017-0182-4
Abstract: Forest edges have become important features in landscapes worldwide. Edges are exposed to a different microclimate and higher atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition compared to forest interiors. It is, however, unclear how microclimate and elevated N… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11252-020-00930-6
Abstract: Urbanization generally reduces wildlife populations. Individual species responses, however, are often highly variable, and such variability can be explained by differences in species ecological traits. To examine this hypothesis, we focused on two co-occurring land… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.forpol.2016.12.011
Abstract: Western Uganda is home to growing populations of smallholder agriculturalists, expanding commodity plantations, and protected forests. In this setting, we document a shift in who uses forest edge land and how it is used. In… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/nature24457
Abstract: Forest edges influence more than half of the world’s forests and contribute to worldwide declines in biodiversity and ecosystem functions. However, predicting these declines is challenging in heterogeneous fragmented landscapes. Here we assembled a global… read more here.

DOI: 10.1121/10.0004459
Abstract: Sound propagation through forest edges can be complicated due to the sudden and significant change in propagation environment. One approach to estimating the coherent and diffuse sound fields due to an acoustic pulse in or… read more here.

Native and Invasive Woody Species Differentially Respond to Forest Edges and Forest Successional Age

DOI: 10.3390/f9070381
Abstract: Forest fragmentation can promote non-native plant invasions by increasing invasive plant seed dispersal and resource availability along edges. These effects can vary based on forest age and may be influenced by differences in traits of… read more here.
