Microclimate through space and time: microclimatic variation at the edge of regeneration forests over daily, yearly and decadal time scales
A major aim of sustainable forest management is the maintenance or recolonisation of
harvested areas by species that were present pre-disturbance. Forest influence (a type of …

The landscape impact of linear seismic clearings for oil and gas development in boreal forest
Forests can be dissected or internally fragmented by anthropogenic linear clearings. Much
research has focused on roads but in forests overlying oil and gas reserves, seismic lines …

Targeted protection and restoration to conserve tropical biodiversity in a warming world
Complex landscapes interact with meteorological processes to generate climatically suitable
habitat (refuges) in otherwise hostile environments. Locating these refuges has practical …

Seismic line width and orientation influence microclimatic forest edge gradients and tree regeneration
Ecological impacts of linear anthropogenic disturbances may be underestimated due to
edge effects extending into adjacent forests. Seismic lines are the most pervasive linear …
