recommendations! Published in 2024 at "New Forests"

DOI: 10.1007/s11056-024-10071-9

Abstract: The benefits of plantations for wood production are well known, but it is unclear whether they have a clear negative effect on biodiversity, compared to natural forests. It is also unclear how overstory species identity… read more here.

recommendations! Published in 2020 at "Biological Conservation"

DOI: 10.1016/j.biocon.2019.108329

Abstract: Abstract Hunting has reduced or eliminated large-bodied vertebrates in many areas across the tropics, contributing to the global process of defaunation. Elucidating the ecological consequences of hunting has important implications for managing ecosystems and for… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2019.02.039

Abstract: Abstract Information about invasive alien species and their interactions with the environment and native ecosystems is very important to prevent widespread loss of original habitats and biodiversity. Black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia) is one of the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2019.06.011

Abstract: Abstract The tree species used in production forests can have direct implications for the understory vegetation, due to species-specific differences in the environmental conditions provided, and silviculture applied. In southern Sweden, there is an ongoing… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2020.118637

Abstract: Abstract Overbrowsing by the explosively increasing deer has a huge impact on forest vegetation in the temperate zone. Although it was expected that, over the years, the decline of forest floor vegetation would lead to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1109/tgrs.2024.3395584

Abstract: Estimating forest plant area index (PAI) with the simultaneous separation of overstory vegetation (OV) and understory vegetation (UV) is essential to study forest carbon and water cycles. Measuring PAI of OV and UV using conventional… read more here.

recommendations! Published in 2019 at "Forest Ecosystems"

DOI: 10.1186/s40663-019-0186-y

Abstract: BackgroundManaged forests can become a seminatural habitat by allowing natural vegetation to establish under the tree canopy. The aim of this study was to examine how this natural understory vegetation in pine plantations affects bird… read more here.

DOI: 10.2136/sssaj2017.05.0145

Abstract: Artificial afforestation is a common strategy for ecological recovery on the Loess Plateau, China, which causes the development of understory vegetation and drought stress. However, the influence of the understory vegetation and drought conditions on… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/agronomy15071537

Abstract: Long-term monoculture of poplar plantations for industrial material production has been widely reported to cause severe soil degradation, while the presence of understory vegetation might enhance soil nitrogen (N) transformation and supply. This study employed… read more here.
