DOI: 10.1007/s00442-019-04370-8
Abstract: Human activities are altering patterns of ungulate herbivory and wildfire regimes globally with large potential impacts on plant community succession and ecosystem resilience. Aspen (Populus tremuloides) is a keystone species which co-exists with conifer species… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2018.11.042
Abstract: Abstract Tree mortality is caused by complex interactions between multiple biotic and abiotic factors. Processes of tree mortality that are not induced by natural disturbances are often reflected in distinct radial growth patterns of trees,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2019.117696
Abstract: Abstract Secondary forest succession can be an effective and low-cost strategy to increase forest cover and the associated biodiversity and soil functions. However, little is known about how soil functions develop during succession, and how… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.landusepol.2018.04.035
Abstract: Abstract Multi-temporal change detection over decades including the pre-satellite era is challenging due to the different image types available over time, and this explains the scarcity of long-term studies of vegetation succession which can play… read more here.

DOI: 10.1088/1748-9326/abe06e
Abstract: Forest ecosystems play an important role in regulating global temperatures through their capability to take up and store CO2 from the atmosphere, but the magnitude and sustainability of this carbon (C) sink is critically dependent… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rstb.2021.0074
Abstract: The recovery of soil conditions is crucial for successful ecosystem restoration and, hence, for achieving the goals of the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration. Here, we assess how soils resist forest conversion and agricultural land… read more here.

DOI: 10.1128/spectrum.00795-22
Abstract: The studies on soil fungal communities in disease-driven forest succession are rare. This study showed that during the disease-driven forest succession, the soil enzyme activity, soil fungal diversity, and biomass increased along succession. ABSTRACT Forest… read more here.

DOI: 10.1643/ch-17-654
Abstract: Over the past century, humans have cleared the Earth's forests at an alarming rate and intensity. The majority of global forest cover is categorized as secondary forest, and it is becoming increasingly important to consider… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/f14050865
Abstract: In Hong Kong, as in many tropical areas, grasslands are maintained by fire on disturbed and abandoned land. However, Hong Kong’s native forests are regenerating in many areas, alongside frequent burning of the hillsides, and… read more here.
