Societal Impact Statement Globally, cities are planning for resilience through urban greening initiatives as governments understand the importance of forests in improving quality life and mitigating climate change. However, persistence ecosystem benefits they provide threatened by change, systematic assessments causes tree dieback mortality environments rare. Long‐term monitoring studies adaptive management needed to identify prevent change‐driven failures mortality. Research when coupled...
We resurveyed a network of sampling plots (n = 371) 10 years after its establishment in Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest (New Hampshire, USA) to quantify recent trends tree biomass and demography. found no significant change live-tree during the decade. Total was 246 Mg·ha –1 (95%CI 235–258) 1995–1996 245 234–256) 2005–2006. Annual mortality period for trees ≥ cm diameter at breast height (1.37 m) averaged 9.7 trees·ha ·year (95% CI annual rate 1.36%–1.84%·year ). Tree recruitment into...
The aim of this work was to assess Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) growth response and potential productivity on various reclaimed mine soils (RMS) developed dominant parent rock in Poland (Central Europe). study conducted four afforested post-mining sites after lignite, hard coal, sand sulphur mining extraction. Site index (SI) modeled as a function the top height tree stand at certain age physico-chemical biological properties RMS. Field measurements were taken stands ranging from 12 30...
In the western United States, forests are experiencing novel environmental conditions related to a changing climate and suppression of historical fire regime. Mixed-conifer forests, considered resilient disturbance due their heterogeneity in structure composition, appear be shifting more homogeneous state, but timescale these shifts is not well understood. Our objective was assess effects on stand dynamics demographic rates an old-growth mixed-conifer forest Sierra Nevada. We used Bayesian...
Abstract Ecosystems are changing in complex and unpredictable ways, analysis of these changes is facilitated by coordinated, long‐term research. Meeting diverse societal needs requires an understanding what populations communities will be dominant 20, 50, 100 yr. This paper a product synthesis effort the U.S. National Science Foundation funded Long‐Term Ecological Research (LTER) network addressing LTER core research area communities. revealed that each site had at least one compelling story...
Abstract The complex effects of global environmental changes on ecosystems result from the interaction multiple stressors, their direct impacts species and indirect interactions. Air pollution (and resulting depletion soil base cations) biotic invasion (e.g. beech bark disease [BBD] complex) are two stressors that affecting foundational tree northern hardwood forests, sugar maple American beech, in northeastern North America. At Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest New Hampshire, a...
