Australian forest ecosystems cover almost 16% of Australia's landmass. As the seventh‐
largest forested area worldwide, these forest ecosystems have largely evolved in the face of …

There are multiple pathways for vegetation to change following disturbances. Understanding
those post‐disturbance pathways is critical for managing wildfire risk since vegetation is fuel …

For efficient conservation, we need to consider both what kinds of habitat species require
and the landscape-level supply of these habitats. We examined the relative importance of …

Old-growth forests are often considered as biodiversity hotspots for bryophytes because of
their diversity in environmental niches or microhabitats and forest continuity. Following this …

The impacts of silvicultural disturbance (felling and burning) on lichens, mosses and
liverworts in Eucalyptus obliqua-dominated wet forest in Tasmania were investigated. The …

Cryptogams (restricted here to mosses, liverworts, and lichens) have no particular fire-
adapted survival strategies and rely on airborne spores or propagules to disperse to new …

Forest influence is a type of edge effect that occurs when mature forests affect the
recolonisation of adjacent disturbed areas. This can be driven by changes in microclimate …

For the management of forest harvesting it is important to understand the processes that
impact the re-colonisation of disturbed forests. Edge effects into disturbed forests have been …

Aims Bryophyte re‐colonization after disturbance is largely governed by environmental
conditions within disturbed forests. In particular, distance to a forest edge is an important …

Picea rubensis a cold-adapted, sub-boreal species whose existence along Maine's coast is
enabled by the moderating effect of the Gulf of Maine. Picea rubens, and the larger spruce-fir …
