Species relative abundance and aboveground biomass production driven by climate change and stand ageing
(2015)
Understanding forest communities’ responses to climate change is central to global change ecology research. Access to large data sets from government sources has enabled extensive examinations of the effects of climate ...
Trends in growth and soil nutrients following fire and logging
(2016)
Understanding the impact of natural and anthropogenic disturbance on soil fertility and tree growth is critical to the sustainability of forest management, yet there remains much uncertainty regarding how both harvesting ...
Carbon storage dynamics and tree growth response to species diversity in boreal forests
(2018)
The boreal forest plays a critical role in regulating the global carbon (C) cycle. Both wildfire and harvesting affect ecosystem C. However, the long-term recovery of forest C storage with a diverse range of overstory ...
Patterns and mechanisms of understorey vegetation associated with stand development in boreal forests
(2018)
The understorey vegetation comprises the greatest plant diversity and contributes
substantially to ecosystem functioning and services in boreal forests. Although many studies
have examined patterns of understorey species ...
Trade-offs between economic gains and ecological functions following forest management alternatives in boreal forests
(2018)
Intensive forest management activities that maximize economic gains could negatively impact the long-term sustainability of ecological functions and associated ecosystem services. Understanding the trade-offs between ...
Global environmental change effects on forest dynamics: lessons from permanent sample plot networks
(2019)
Global environmental change caused by anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gasses is a major threat to forest ecosystems globally. Before we can begin to adequately mitigate these threats, we first must understand how ...
Comparing the spatial pattern of fire and harvest disturbance in boreal Ontario watersheds
(2016)
Fire and harvest are both major sources of disturbance in Ontario’s boreal forest.
They are largely responsible for successional patterns in forest vegetation, and influence
regimes of hydrologic change in boreal streams, ...
