DOI: 10.1007/s10342-017-1079-7
Abstract: European natural mountain Norway spruce (Picea abies) forests are currently subject to extensive disturbances. An improved understanding of the self-regulated regenerative capacity of this forest type is therefore needed. We used the last remnant of… read more here.

Regeneration niches in Nothofagus-dominated old-growth forests after partial disturbance: Insights to overcome arrested succession

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2019.05.004
Abstract: Abstract Arrested succession may lead to losses of productivity and biodiversity in forests after disturbance. In this condition, recalcitrant understory vegetation often dominates over long periods of time and delays forest recovery and succession. Arrested… read more here.

Effects of culling white-tailed deer on tree regeneration and Microstegium vimineum, an invasive grass

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2020.118015
Abstract: Abstract Reduction of forest regeneration due to overbrowsing by white-tailed deer is a growing concern for land managers. Abundant deer can impede forest regeneration through direct predation on tree seedlings. Additionally high deer density can… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2021.119202
Abstract: Abstract Non-native grass invasions are altering fuels and fire behavior in forests, with uncertain consequences for tree regeneration and forest dynamics. We examined whether invasion by Microstegium vimineum, the most widespread invasive grass in the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jaridenv.2017.10.008
Abstract: Abstract Spatial distribution of tree recruitment has been shown to be largely affected by microhabitats. If we are to preserve the distribution and abundance of tree regeneration in the face of environmental changes, we need… read more here.

Resilience impacts of a secondary disturbance: Meta‐analysis of salvage logging effects on tree regeneration
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Journal of Ecology"
DOI: 10.1111/1365-2745.13581
Abstract: Intense controversy surrounds the compounded disturbance of salvage logging, which superimposes an anthropogenic disturbance on already disturbed ecosystems and thereby provides a litmus test of forest regeneration and resilience. We conducted meta‐analysis to assess whether… read more here.

Tree regeneration on industrial linear disturbances in treed peatlands is hastened by wildfire and delayed by loss of microtopography

DOI: 10.1139/cjfr-2019-0451
Abstract: The world’s forests are highly fragmented by linear disturbances, and many forests have failed to recover decades after abandonment. Lack of recovery is common in unproductive forests, such as tree... read more here.
