Natural Disturbance Dynamics Analysis for Ecosystem-Based Management—FORDISMAN
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Forests"
DOI: 10.3390/f11060663
Abstract: Forest ecosystems are shaped by disturbances and functional features of vegetation recovery after disturbances. There is considerable variation in basic disturbance characteristics, magnitude, severity, and intensity. Disturbance legacies provide possible explanations for ecosystem resilience. The… read more here.
