The regeneration ratio: Combining seedling growth and mortality data to predict regeneration success
DM Waller, DA Riege, WS Alverson - Forest Ecology and Management, 2024 - Elsevier
Temperate forests face a “regeneration debt” reflecting limited tree seedling survival and/or
growth. Monitoring demographic processes allows us to identify when and how these debts …

[HTML][HTML] Forest Structure Regulates Response of Erosion-Induced Carbon Loss to Rainfall Characteristics
Forestation is a common measure to control erosion-induced soil and carbon (C) loss, but
the effect can vary substantially between different types of forest. Here, we measured event …
