The objectives of this paper are to: (1) provide an overview of the various ‘ecosystem services’ that are provided by forests; (2) clarify the definitions of ecological processes, ecosystem function, and ecosystem services and goods; and (3) review and synthesise the current state of knowled...
On the contrary, the number of new seedlings (i.e., species recruitment) decreased with increasing the fire severity (R2 = 0.37,p-value = 0.081; Fig.2d; Table2c) withQuercus pubescenscharacterized by a greater decrease when compared withOstrya carpinifolia(p-value = 0.064).Co...
Forest damage quantified using ΔNPV was highly variable across the 312,319-ha study area (Fig.1), although nearly all (ca. 92%) pixels experienced some degree of damage (Supplementary Fig.S2). Values of ΔNPV were positively associated with all field-plot based estimates of damage (Suppleme...
Any water deficit limits plant growth rate, impacting recruitment of natural populations and performance of crops29,30. Leaf anatomy of field-grown avocado cultivars (Persea americana) was strongly affected by water deficit, causing a 20% and 24% decline in absolute and specific leaf area, respect...
4. Summary and conclusions Bald cypress floodplain forests rely on a series of environmental sieves to maintain mature trees and achieve periodic seed germi- nation and seedling recruitment. Accordingly, restoring natural hydrological and ecological dynamics to degraded ecosystems re- quires a thorough ...
It promoted the regeneration and recruitment of silver fir, which according to the latest research, will disappear in many European old-growth forests or its share will fall to a negligible percentage in these forests in the near future. This is what makes sense in terms of our study area ...

Prior to recruitment, the nature and objectives of the study were explained to potential participants and those who agreed to take part in the study signed a consent form while an assent was obtained from parents or guardians of children who were enrolled in the study. Participation was voluntary...
