Numerical response of mammalian carnivores to rodents affects bird reproduction in temperate forests: A case of apparent competition?
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1002/ece3.4608
Abstract: Abstract Resource pulses such as mast seeding in temperate forests may affect interspecific interactions over multiple trophic levels and link different seed and nonseed consumers directly via predation or indirectly via shared predators. However, the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/yea.3699
Abstract: Yeasts are ubiquitous in temperate forests. While this broad habitat is well‐defined, the yeasts inhabiting it and their life cycles, niches, and contributions to ecosystem functioning are less understood. Yeasts are present on nearly all… read more here.

Above- and Below-ground Cascading Effects of Wild Ungulates in Temperate Forests
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Ecosystems"
DOI: 10.1007/s10021-020-00509-4
Abstract: Ungulates have become abundant in many temperate forests, shifting tree species composition by browsing and altering soil physical conditions by trampling. Whether these effects cascade down to other trophic levels and ecosystem processes is poorly… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10021-021-00625-9
Abstract: Stand-scale gap-phase dynamics is generally viewed as the main driver of development in mesic deciduous forests of the temperate biome. Soil charcoal of temperate forests in eastern North America are unnoticed in most surveys, thus… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10533-020-00655-w
Abstract: Chronic elevated nitrogen deposition has increased nitrogen availability in many forest ecosystems globally, and this phenomenon has been suggested to increase soil nitrification. Although it is believed that increased nitrogen availability would also increase nitrous… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11258-018-0885-4
Abstract: Disturbance is claimed to be one of the most important triggers of biological invasions. There is a lack of data about disturbance impacts on the youngest life stage of invasive trees and shrubs. Thus, we… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ecolind.2021.107528
Abstract: Abstract Growing degree days (GDD) and chilling requirements (CR) of canopy phenological onset are popular thermal indicators showing forest adaptation to local temperature regimes. This study proposes a satellite-based approach for mapping the canopy-onset thermal… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2020.118698
Abstract: Abstract Large trees, as the versatile provider of ecosystem services, are the most susceptible to episodic disturbance regimes such as extreme climate and biotic agents across the globe, and hence, largely determine forest demographic processes.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2020.118805
Abstract: Abstract From tropical to temperate forests, the effects of abiotic and biotic factors on aboveground biomass (AGB) can vary greatly, but causative relations remain poorly understood. In this study, we assessed the effects of abiotic… read more here.
