On the formation of dense understory layers in forests worldwide: consequences and implications for forest dynamics, biodiversity, and succession
The mechanistic basis underpinning forest succession is the gap-phase paradigm in which
overstory disturbance interacts with seedling and sapling shade tolerance to determine …

Silvicultural disturbance severity and plant communities of the southern Canadian boreal forest
Boreal forest ecosystems are adapted to periodic disturbance, but there is widespread
concern that conventional forest practises degrade plant communities. We examined …

Where are the trees? Extent, configuration, and drivers of poor forest recovery 30 years after the 1988 Yellowstone fires
Postfire recovery of fire-adapted forests remains uncertain as climate and fire regimes
continue to change. Areas of poor postfire tree regeneration following late-20th-century fires …
