State-dependent mortality, not behavior, fragments population distribution of a long-lived mammal after ecological disturbance
ContextNatural selection favors species with strong fidelity to seasonal ranges where resources are predictable across space and time....

Dynamics of pine ectomycorrhizae following root disturbance
Ectomycorrhizae (ECM) and their hyphae may account for up to one-third of forest productivity, but we know little about their patterns of...
-
Natural Disturbance History Regime and the Development of the Dark Coniferous Forest in the Southern Sikhote-Alin
Age shifts in fir–spruce forests and the potential influence of ongoing climate changes upon them are pressing issues. The study focuses on a stand...
-
Disturbances and Disturbance Regimes
Disturbance ecology is an expansive topic complicated by the reality that it is a scientific discipline that also directly engages the general...

The Pain System Is Not a Bodily Disturbance Detector
What is the function of pain? A popular view in contemporary philosophy is that the pain system is a bodily disturbance detector: pain states...

Post-disturbance recovery dynamics of connected coral subpopulations
Coral reefs are patchy and connected ecosystems that experience heterogenous environmental conditions, disturbances, and coral population recovery...

Light-demanding canopy tree species do not indicate past human disturbance in the Yangambi rainforest (Democratic Republic of the Congo)
Key messageIn a former paper, we investigated whether the presence of light-demanding tree species in the forest canopy of the Yangambi Biosphere...

Spruce dieback as chance for biodiversity: standing deadwood promotes beetle diversity in post-disturbance stands in western Germany
Anthropogenic climate change poses a major threat to ecosystems and their biodiversity. Forests, for example, are suffering from climate-amplified...

Same, but different: similar states of forest structure in temperate mountain regions of Europe despite different social-ecological forest disturbance regimes
ContextEcosystem services provided by mountain forests are critically linked to forest structure. Social-ecological disturbance regimes (i.e., the...

Effect of drought disturbance in a sclerophyll forest on the micromammal community in the Río Clarillo National Park, Metropolitan Region, Chile
BackgroundMicromammals play an important role in mediterranean ecosystems. The “megadrought” in the sclerophyll forest has caused a “browning” that...

Disturbance Resilience
Resilience is the capacity of ecosystems to recover from disturbance or to absorb disturbance without changing their structures and processes. While...
-
Millennial-Scale Disturbance History of the Boreal Zone
Long-term disturbance histories, reconstructed using diverse paleoecological tools, provide high-quality information about pre-observational periods....
-
Liana distribution and small-scale natural disturbance in an old-growth temperate forest
Liana can have a considerable impact on forest structure and function through the colonization of small-scale disturbance of canopy gaps. Previous...

Comparison of Early Seral Forest Bee Communities Following Clearcutting or Wildfire Depends on Stand Age and Nesting Guild
Forest harvesting can create habitat for wild bees, but with potentially different characteristics from habitats created by natural disturbance such...
-
Disturbances and Disturbance Regimes
Disturbance ecology is a field of ecology, which includes vegetation ecology, ecosystem dynamics, and biogeochemistry of nutrient cycles. Here,...

Disturbance and Biodiversity
Biodiversity describes the variety of living creatures and habitats within ecosystems. It is the basis for the functioning of ecosystems but is...

Disturbance alters phytoplankton functional traits and consequently drives changes in zooplankton life-history traits and lipid composition
In the light of the current biodiversity crisis that affects in particular freshwater ecosystems, it is crucial to understand the effects of...

Resilient fruit-feeding butterfly assemblages across a Caatinga dry forest chronosequence submitted to chronic anthropogenic disturbance
AbstractInterest in forest regeneration has increased as secondary forests in regeneration process are cited as the forests of the future. However,...

Impact of charcoal and tree species on forest Podzol development after fire disturbance
Background and aimsCharcoal and tree species are key factors influencing forest soil development after fire disturbance. Podzolization affects...

The flow of forest ecosystem services in an era of disturbance ecology: A nexus that warrants exploration
In response to the dynamic needs and evolving perspectives of the scientific community and the anthropogenic world, the concept of ecosystem services...
