High‐density populations of large ungulates are now widespread. However, the perception
of overabundance only appears when it produces a problem for humans, such as a loss of …

Biotic homogenisation is defined as decreasing dissimilarity among ecological assemblages
sampled within a given spatial area over time. Biotic differentiation, in turn, is defined as …

Large mammalian herbivores (megafauna) have experienced extinctions and declines since
prehistory. Introduced megafauna have partly counteracted these losses yet are thought to …

Gap-based silvicultural systems were developed under the assumption that richness, and
diversity of tree species and other biota positively respond to variation in size of harvest …

Returning crop straw, such as biochar, into the field is increasingly recognized as a valid,
environmentally-friendly agricultural strategy to improve soil quality, increase crop yields …

Purpose Transhumance has rarely been analyzed through LCA approaches, and there is
little evidence about its emissions level when conducted under different practices (by truck …

For temperate forests, Michigan, USA, we asked:(1) does evidence exist for a height-
dependent sapling recruitment bottleneck caused by shrub layer competition and white …

Many game species are prey species and evolved to cope with significant mortality by
natural predators. In the absence of predation or hunting, these game populations will be …

Abstract Background and Aims Anthropogenic disturbances are causing a co-occurring
increase in biotic (ungulate herbivory) and abiotic (drought) stressors, threatening plant …

Using nurse shrubs to improve tree seedling establishment in stressed environments is a
common practice in forestry. Recent refinements of the stress‐gradient hypothesis suggest …
