Monoculture plantation woodlands are particularly vulnerable to disturbance events as
species uniformity makes such stands highly susceptible to pests and diseases. Red band …

The moose Alces alces is the largest herbivore in the boreal forest biome, where it can have
dramatic impacts on ecosystem structure and dynamics. Despite the importance of the …

Current trends in research for detection of infections in forests almost exclusively involve the
use of a single imaging sensor. However, combining information from a range of sensors …

Small wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have the potential to change the way forests are
managed in the future. Already used widely in agricultural and horticultural situations to …

During deep snow conditions, wildlife must balance between minimizing movements to
conserve energy while seeking high amounts of browse to gain the energy. Knowledge of …

Over the last decades, the increasing intensity of timber harvesting and the changes in
forestry practices have impacted the population dynamics of many wildlife species. Moose …

Northern herbivore ranges are expanding in response to a warming climate. Forage quality
also influences herbivore distributions, but less is known about the effects of climate change …

Field-based monitoring of deer food availability and browsing on recruiting forest trees is a
necessary but labour-intensive task. We explored how such estimates from a low-resolution …

Ungulate browsing results in important damages on the forests, affecting their structure,
composition and development. In the present paper, we examine the occurrence of …

Large herbivores are often classed as ecosystem engineers, and when they become scarce
or overabundant, this can alter ecosystem states and influence climate forcing potentials …
