A 249‐yr chronosequence of forest plots from eight successive fires in the Eastern Canada boreal mixedwoodsNARA Subscribed
A combination of wildfires and defoliating insect outbreaks play an important role in the natural successional dynamics of North American boreal mixedwood forests, which, in the long term, change the post‐disturbance composition and structure of forest stands. After stand‐replacing disturbances (mainly wildfires), early successional hardwoods typically dominate the affected areas. Provided enough time following disturbances, t...
Ecosystem management promotes the integration of knowledge of natural ecosystem dynamics into forest-management planning and practices, and provides a useful framework for understanding and mitigating the impacts of timber harvesting on biodiversity and ecosystem functions. Understory vegetation and deadwood are involved in many ecosystem functions including nutrient and carbon, and tree-regeneration dynamics. The study object...
TRY plant trait database – enhanced coverage and open accessNARA Subscribed
Plant traits—the morphological, anatomical, physiological, biochemical and phenological characteristics of plants—determine how plants respond to environmental factors, affect other trophic levels, and influence ecosystem properties and their benefits and detriments to people. Plant trait data thus represent the basis for a vast area of research spanning from evolutionary biology, community and functional ecology, to biodivers...
