The aim here was to review and summarize the findings of scientific studies concerning the
types of forest dynamics which occur in natural forests (ie forests with negligible human …

Natural disturbance emulation (NDE) has been proposed as a general approach to
ecologically sustainable forest management. We reviewed the concepts, theories, and …

With recent technological advances in tracking devices, movements of numerous animal
species can be recorded with a high resolution over large spatial and temporal ranges. This …

Ecosystems with alternative stable states (ASS) may shift discontinuously from one stable
state to another as environmental parameters cross a threshold. Reversal can then be …

Wildland fuelbeds are exceptionally complex, consisting of diverse particles of many sizes,
types and shapes with abundances and properties that are highly variable in time and …

Taxonomic diversity of benthic marine invertebrate shelf species declines at present by
nearly an order of magnitude from the tropics to the poles in each hemisphere along the …

Understanding the abundance, demographics and composition of pelagic fish communities
has historically relied on fisheries catch data or destructive fishery-independent methods …

This research presents an object‐oriented technique for habitat classification at different
segmentation levels based on the use of imagery from an Edgetech 272 side scan sonar …

One of the most significant biological impacts of global climate change is through alterations
of organismal body temperature, which ultimately drives almost all physiological processes …

Decadal changes in masting behaviour—directional changes in seed production with
fluctuations on a decadal time‐scale—are attracting widespread attention in the context of …
