Understanding the processes shaping biological communities under multiple disturbances
is a core challenge in ecology and conservation science. Traditionally, ecologists have …

Deepened knowledge on response of biota and ecological processes following fire is
essential for a future with warmer climate and more disturbances. In 2014 the first mega-fire …

Examining the consequences of environmental change for the provision of ecosystem
services can be facilitated through trait‐based frameworks that consider linkages between …

Wildfires are increasing in incidence and severity across coniferous forests of the western
United States, leading to changes in forest structure and wildlife habitats. Knowledge of how …

There is considerable variation in the degree of burn severity in boreal fires. One approach
that has been used to capture this variation from field and remote sensing perspectives for …

Areas affected by forest fires are increasing worldwide, making salvage logging (ie,
harvesting fire-affected trees) an increasingly used practice to reduce the economic impacts …

Logging often reduces taxonomic diversity in forest communities, but little is known about
how this biodiversity loss affects the resilience of ecosystem functions. We examined how …

Salvage logging following natural disturbances may alter the natural successional
trajectories of biological communities by affecting the occurrences of species, functional …

Natural disturbances, such as fire, windstorms and insect outbreaks, are important drivers of
biodiversity in forest ecosystems, but at the same time cause large economic losses. Among …

Plant-macrofossil analysis is being increasingly used in Quaternary science, particularly
palaeoecology and vegetation history. Although the techniques of macrofossil analysis are …
