Abstract: Abstract In Low Arctic tundra, thermal erosion of ice‐rich permafrost soils (thermokarst) has increased in frequency since the 1980s. Retrogressive thaw slumps (RTS) are thermokarst disturbances forming large open depressions on hillslopes through soil wasting… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00442-017-3842-3
Abstract: Recent evidence suggests that plant performance can be influenced by the phylogenetic diversity of neighboring plants. However, no study to date has examined the effect of such phylogenetic density dependence on the transition from seed… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s004420000602
Abstract: Seed production and seedling recruitment were measured over 2 years under ambient (360 ppm) and elevated (475 ppm) atmospheric CO2 in a free air carbon dioxide enrichment (FACE) experiment, carried out in a sheep-grazed pasture on dry, sandy… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2018.08.016
Abstract: Abstract Forest ecosystems dominated by Tsuga canadensis are undergoing fundamental changes in function and composition from infestations by hemlock woolly adelgid (Adelges tsugae). We proposed that the first step to restoring southern Appalachian riparian forests… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2018.10.042
Abstract: Abstract Global change threatens the persistence of native forest ecosystems mainly by limiting the conditions for natural regeneration but also inducing tree mortality and increasing the risk of large wildfires. In this context, understanding the… read more here.

DOI: 10.3375/043.039.0303
Abstract: Disturbances, including wildfire, play an important role in forest maintenance, and have been modified over time. Determining the importance of historical disturbance can be complex, especially if disturbance regimes differ over a species' range. Pinus… read more here.
