Vegetation changes in karst areas are controlled by the soil formation rate (SFR) and soil
moisture (SM). However, little is known about their thresholds and global control patterns. To …

Forest disturbances that lead to the replacement of whole tree stands are a cornerstone of
forest dynamics, with drivers that include fire, windthrow, biotic outbreaks and harvest. The …

Forests are the most important terrestrial ecosystems providing sustenance not only to
biodiversity but also to the rural communities. These resources are subjected to constant …

Data are increasingly spatio‐temporal—they are collected some‐where and at some‐time.
The role of proximity in spatial process is well understood, but its value is much more …

This paper presents a prototype Carbon Monitoring System (CMS) developed to produce
regionally unbiased annual estimates of aboveground biomass (AGB). Our CMS employed …

Forests are important ecosystems that are under increasing pressure from human use and
environmental change, and have a significant ability to remove carbon dioxide from the …

Outbreaks of the pine caterpillar (Dendrolimus spp.) have substantial impacts on coniferous
forest ecosystem structure, distribution, and productivity, as well as the economy …

Forests have a prominent role in carbon sequestration and storage. Climate change and
anthropogenic forcing have altered the dominant characteristics of some forested …

Forest disturbance and regrowth are key processes in forest dynamics but detailed
information of these processes is difficult to obtain in remote forests as the Amazon. We used …

Disturbances of varying frequency and intensity shape the species composition, stand
structure, and functions of forests. This study assessed the frequency and distribution of …
