Tree-ring-based disturbance reconstruction in interdisciplinary research: Current state and future directions
J Altman - Dendrochronologia, 2020 - Elsevier
Disturbances play an important role in forest dynamics. The determination of long-term
spatiotemporal characteristics of disturbance regimes is essential for understanding forest …

Definition and estimation of vital rates from repeated censuses: choices, comparisons and bias corrections focusing on trees
Mortality and recruitment rates are fundamental measures of population dynamics.
Ecologists and others have defined and estimated these vital rates in various ways. We …

Hurricane María tripled stem breaks and doubled tree mortality relative to other major storms
Tropical cyclones are expected to intensify under a warming climate, with uncertain effects
on tropical forests. One key challenge to predicting how more intense storms will influence …

Trait-based sensitivity of large mammals to a catastrophic tropical cyclone
Extreme weather events perturb ecosystems and increasingly threaten biodiversity.
Ecologists emphasize the need to forecast and mitigate the impacts of these events, which …

Hurricane-induced rainfall is a stronger predictor of tropical forest damage in Puerto Rico than maximum wind speeds
Projected increases in cyclonic storm intensity under a warming climate will have profound
effects on forests, potentially changing these ecosystems from carbon sinks to sources …

Old reserves and ancient buds fuel regrowth of coast redwood after catastrophic fire
For long-lived organisms, investment in insurance strategies such as reserve energy storage
can enable resilience to resource deficits, stress or catastrophic disturbance. Recent fire in …

Damage to living trees contributes to almost half of the biomass losses in tropical forests
Accurate estimates of forest biomass stocks and fluxes are needed to quantify global carbon
budgets and assess the response of forests to climate change. However, most forest …

Globally consistent impact of tropical cyclones on the structure of tropical and subtropical forests
Tropical cyclones (TC s) are large‐scale disturbances that regularly impact tropical forests.
Although long‐term impacts of TC s on forest structure have been proposed, a global test of …

Is tropical montane forest heterogeneity promoted by a resource‐driven feedback cycle? Evidence from nutrient relations, herbivory and litter decomposition along a …
Ridges of tropical mountains often differ strikingly from neighbouring ravines in terms of
forest structure, productivity and species composition. This heterogeneity is poorly …

Tree crown damage and its effects on forest carbon cycling in a tropical forest
Crown damage can account for over 23% of canopy biomass turnover in tropical forests and
is a strong predictor of tree mortality; yet, it is not typically represented in vegetation models …
