Managing for biodiversity: The effects of climate, management and natural disturbance on wildlife species richness

Zeller, K. A., Povak, N. A., Manley, P., Flake, S. W., & Hefty, K. L. (2023, October 11). DIVERSITY AND DISTRIBUTIONS.

By: K. Zeller *, N. Povak *, P. Manley *, S. Flake n & K. Hefty *

author keywords: biodiversity; climate change; Forest management; spatially explicit landscape disturbance succession model; species richness; wildlife habitat
TL;DR: The interacting effects of climate, natural disturbance, and management actions complicate future projections, and there is a need for approaches that integrate these factors—especially for predicting future vegetation and species richness. (via Semantic Scholar)

Not all trees can make a forest: Tree species composition and competition control forest encroachment in a tropical savanna

Flake, S. W., Honda, E. A., Pilon, N. A. L., Hoffmann, W. A., & Durigan, G. (2022, January 20). JOURNAL OF ECOLOGY.

By: S. Flake n, E. Honda, N. Pilon *, W. Hoffmann n & G. Durigan *

author keywords: Cerrado; competition; forest encroachment; stand development; tree growth; tree mortality; woody encroachment
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the presence of generalist trees accelerates the rates of basal area accumulation due to their greater growth rates and tolerance of shading, which will allow them to overtop and outcompete savanna specialists, causing rapid species turnover. (via Semantic Scholar)

Fine-scale stand structure mediates drought-induced tree mortality in pinyon-juniper woodlands

ECOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS, 29(2).

By: S. Flake* & P. Weisberg *

author keywords: bark beetle; competition; die-off; forest dieback; Great Basin; pinon; semiarid; stand dynamics
MeSH headings : Droughts; Forests; Juniperus; Nevada; Trees; Utah
TL;DR: Canopy dieback prior to the drought was strongly associated with tree mortality during the drought, implying that current widespread defoliation caused by these agents may foreshadow future elevated woodland decline. (via Semantic Scholar)
