In many parts of the world forest disturbance regimes have intensified recently, and future
climatic changes are expected to amplify this development further in the coming decades …

Fine roots< 2 mm in diameter play a key role in regulating the biogeochemical cycles of
ecosystems and are important to our understanding of ecosystem responses to global …

Although there is ample support for positive species richness–productivity relationships in
planted grassland experiments, a recent 48‐site study found no diversity–productivity …

Much of Canada's terrestrial biodiversity is supported by boreal forests. Natural resource
development in boreal forests poses risks to this biodiversity. This paper reviews the …

Natural forest succession after disturbances is one of the most important restoration
strategies. However, the responses of ecosystem multifunctionality during natural forest …

Burn severity (ecological impacts of fire on vegetation and soils) influences post‐fire stand
structure and species composition. The spatial pattern of burn severity may compound the …

What maintains plant species diversity has been the subject of much debate with no general
consensus. In forest ecosystems in which understory plants account for the majority of …

The purpose of this analysis was to empirically model and graphically illustrate the
numerical relationships between richness (S, 4–35 species) and evenness (E) with respect …

Understorey vegetation comprises the majority of species diversity and contributes greatly to
ecosystem functioning in boreal forests. Although patterns of understorey abundance …

Increasing environmental concerns with forestry have led to mounting interest in mixedwood
management as a possible strategy to achieve a diversity of ecological and productivity …
