Forest ecosystem-service transitions: the ecological dimensions of the forest transition
(Resilience Alliance, 2017-12)
New forests are expanding around the world. In many regions, regrowth rates are surpassing deforestation rates, resulting in “forest transitions,” or net gains in forest cover. Typically measured only in terms of ...

A major shift to the retention approach for forestry can help resolve some global forest sustainability issues
(Wiley, 2012-12)
Approximately 85% of the global forest estate is neither formally protected nor in areas dedicated to intensive wood production (e.g., plantations). Given the spatial extent of unprotected forests, finding management ...
Production ecology and reverse growth dominance in an old-growth ponderosa pine forest
(Elsevier, 2020-01)
The growth of a stand is the sum of the growth of individual trees. Growth of individual trees can be explained by the amount of resources captured and how efficiently those resources are used (production ecology). The ...
Tectonic ecology of the temperate forests of South America and New Zealand
(Royal Society of New Zealand, 2016-04-07)
Ecological disturbances triggered by earthquakes and volcanic eruptions are of fundamental importance in structuring the temperate forests of southwestern South America and New Zealand. We review studies of the ecological ...
Ecology and management of invasive Pinaceae around the world : progress and challenges
(2017-06)
Many species in the family Pinaceae are invaders. These species are relatively easy to control because of some of their intrinsic characteristics and because they are highly visible and easy to eliminate. Many Pinaceae ...
Population ecology and classical biological control of forest insect pests in a changing world
(Elsevier, 2022-09-15)
Forests are important for climate regulation and provide wood and fiber to an increasing human population. Forest systems encompass a large part of the world’s land surface area and they are increasingly threatened by ...
Spatial patterns of mammal occurrence in forest strips surrounded by agricultural crops of the Chaco region, Argentina
(Elsevier, 2015-07)
Deforestation is a major cause of biodiversity loss, and the predominant factor driving deforestation is expansion of agriculture. A key step toward successful conservation in agricultural areas is maximizing biodiversity ...
Spatial and temporal variations in the feeding ecology of ferruginous pygmy-owls (Glaucidium brasilianum) in semiarid forests of central Argentina
(Academic Press Ltd - Elsevier Science Ltd, 2014-10)
Forested landscapes vary greatly in habitat structure and complexity due to natural and anthropogenic disturbances that may alter forest attributes. Habitat structure along with temporal factors may directly affect ...
State and transition model approach in native forests of Southern Patagonia (Argentina): linking ecosystem services, thresholds and resilience
(Taylor & Francis, 2017-04)
The sustainable use of ñire forests requires knowledge of its dynamics and management to maintain long-term main forest ecosystem services. The aim of this work was to develop a structural–functional state and transition ...
