Anthropogenic stress and disturbance of forest ecosystems (FES) has been increasing at all
scales from local to global. In rapidly changing environments, in-situ terrestrial FES …

Native vegetation around the world is under threat from historical and ongoing clearance,
overgrazing, invasive species, increasing soil and water salinity, altered fire regimes, poor …

Severe impacts of herbivorous and xylophagous insects are a frequent characteristic of tree
canopy diebacks globally. Insects play many roles in forest ecosystems, although they are …

Insects are major pests of both natural and plantation forests in the tropics. This book is the
first to provide a broad-based, international review of this subject at a level suitable for …

Vegetation changes over time are important indicators of condition, and are particularly

Increasing water abstraction is severely degrading the world's wetlands, which is frequently
reflected in the condition of flood dependent organisms. Understanding minimum …

This study investigates whether tree decline in Eucalyptus gomphocephala (tuart) is
associated with the functional diversity of soil bacterial communities. We selected 12 sites …

This study aims at quantifying and map** fire-related characteristics of forest structure
through field inventories, statistics, remote sensing, and geographical information systems in …

For decades the floodplain forests of the River Murray have endured the effects of prolonged
water stress. This has resulted in significant crown dieback and loss of condition. The Living …

Nitrogen (N) is a major constituent element of chlorophyll and thylakoid proteins in the plant
canopy. The amount of foliar nitrogen reflects the growth of vegetation as it affects the …
