Drought-induced mortality affects understory vegetation: release after death
(Springer Tokyo, 2012-07)
In recent decades, severe droughts have become an important cause of canopy disturbance in forests, and have shown potential to cause rapid and pronounced vegetation shifts. Under dead canopy, undamaged understory could ...
The role of the understory on the abundance, movement and survival of Ceroglossus chilensis in pine plantations: an experimental test
(Springer, 2015)
Tree plantations may play a role in the conservation of global forest biodiversity. At the landscape scale, plantations with a complex understory may provide surrogate habitats for forest-dwelling organisms. This was tested ...
The influence of canopy-layer composition on understory plant diversity in southern temperate forests
(Springer, 2017-05)
Background Understory plants represents the largest component of biodiversity in most forest ecosystems and plays a key role in forest functioning. Despite their importance, the influence of overstory-layer composition on ...
Diversity and composition of understory vegetation in the tropical seasonal rain forest of Xishuangbanna, SW China
(Universidad de Costa Rica, 2011)
Converting clear cutting into a less hostile habitat: The importance of understory for the abundance and movement of the Chestnut-throated Huet-Huet (Pteroptochos castaneus: Rhinocryptidae)
(Elsevier, 2017)
Sustainable forest management of commercial monoculture plantations may be difficult to achieve in plantations of Monterrey pine because these commercial monocultures are managed under a clear cutting system, where the ...
Seed rain, seed predation and germination of native species in Pinus radiata plantations in south-central Chile: Effects of distance to native forest and presence of understory Lluvia de semillas, depredación de semillas y germinación de especies nativas
(Universidad Austral de Chile, 2016)
© 2016, Universidad Austral de Chile. All rights reserved. Native vegetation development in forestry plantations may depend on seed dispersal, seed predation and seed germination. These processes may depend on distance to ...
Accompanying vegetation in young Pinus radiata plantations enhances recolonization by Ceroglossus chilensis (Coleoptera: Carabidae) after clearcutting
(Springer, 2017)
The replacement of native forests by Pinus radiata plantations modifies habitat availability and quality for wildlife, constituting a threat to species survival. However, the presence of understory in mature pine plantations ...
