Forest gaps, which are formed by small-scale disturbances that often occur in forest
communities, are the most dominant form of disturbance in many types of forests around the …

Forest management integrating nature conservation aspects into timber production focuses
increasingly on small-scale interventions. However, the ecological consequences of gap …

Aim Natural disturbances are key drivers of forest ecosystem dynamics and are highly
sensitive to global change. Despite their importance, central disturbance characteristics …

Recent advances in remote sensing such as airborne laser scanning have revolutionized
our ability to accurately map forest canopy gaps, with huge implications for tracking forest …

Gap-scale disturbances drive successional and structural development patterns in most
forest ecosystems. Although fire-maintained Pinus palustris woodlands are less light limited …

摘要对关帝山华北落叶松人工林20 个林隙的幼苗(高度< 1 m), 幼树(高度≥ 1 m, 胸径< 5 cm)
进行调查, 分析4 个面积林隙等级(< 60 m 2, 60~ 120 m2, 120~ 180 m2,≥ 180 m2) …

Silvicultural operations, including single-tree selection create gaps in forest canopies and
these gaps impact on the forests structure. This study examines the influences of different …

Disturbance regimes and gap characteristics of the forest stands are the conceptual
foundations for the core of silviculture. The gap characteristics and disturbance regime were …

Background and objectives: Canopy gaps are the most important environments for many
species regenerations. Studying regeneration in natural and Man-made canopy gaps …

Forests are structurally complex ecosystems that cover approximately 30% of the terrestrial
land mass and play a crucial role in driving the terrestrial carbon cycle. This diversity and …
