19; (iii) plant phylogenetic diversity (PDz)20; and (iv) a size-dependent mortality parameter (β) derived from the probability of tree death as a function of DBH was employed as a measure of post-disturbance recovery29. Finally, we estimate the extent of forest cover and the rate of fo...
Whittaker biomes can obscure heterogeneous forest types within single biomes; in particular, the woodland/shrubland Whittaker biome is dominated in our database by diverse, relatively dry but often closed-canopy forest types, including those composed of aspen and numerous conifer, oak, and eucalypt ...
BEIJING, Feb. 14 (Xinhua) -- Chinese researchers have traced understory biomass and its allocation across China's forests, according to a research article recently published in the journal Science of the Total Environment. Understory vegetation, generally consisting of the understory shrub layer, herb...
Tree layer height had an aggravating effect on total damage rate (P = 0.042; Table S3), while its density showed decreasing effects on damage rates (P < 0.05), except for the categories ‘uprooting’ and ‘branch broken’. Moreover, the proportion of trees corresponding to ...
and ecosystem-level factors," said lead author William Anderegg, an assistant professor at the University of Utah. So, while a drought may place a tree under considerable stress, it could also kill off some of its neighbors, lea...
When a forest trust is first established, each forest collects all of the trusted namespaces in its partner forest and stores the information in a TDO. Trusted namespaces include domain tree names, user principal name (UPN) suffixes, service principal name (SPN) suffixes, and security ID (SID...
There are three major forest types: boreal, temperate and tropical. According to the recent assessment report of FAO [14] and Keenan et al. [13], (i) boreal forests occupy much of the circumpolar region between 50° and 70° N and are considered as the world’s second-largest forest bi...
Fuller details of the theory and its implication can be found in physics journals (Makarieva and Gorshkov2009; Gorshkov et al.2012; Makarieva et al.2014) and in the atmospheric and meteorological science journals (Makarieva et al.2013; Makarieva et al.2013; Makarieva et al.2017; Makarieva...
Species richness showed significant relationships with all three ecosystem services, but relationships differed between forest types and among biogeographical strata. We found that species richness was positively associated to carbon stock in all biogeographical strata. This association became obscured by ...
A plan is clearly needed to put in place retention strategies for the remaining forests with high integrity, tailored towards the context in each country or jurisdiction and its different forest types34,35,36, because such areas are known to hold exceptional value. Avoiding the loss of integrity...
