Forest gaps, which are formed by small-scale disturbances that often occur in forest
communities, are the most dominant form of disturbance in many types of forests around the …

The migration of trees induced by climatic warming has been observed at many alpine
treelines and boreal–tundra ecotones, but the migration of temperate trees into southern …

Forest gaps create environmental heterogeneity and drive forest dynamics through gap-
phase regeneration. However, it is unclear when a forest gap can be considered closed …

Forest gaps are widely spread in the forest ecosystems and play important roles in driving
forest dynamics. However, long-term regeneration during the gap-filling process was less …

Environmental heterogeneity caused by the formation of forest gaps has important
implications for the establishment and growth of forest regeneration, and different tree …

Managing for structural complexity to enhance forest health and resiliency is increasingly
incorporated in silvicultural treatments. High spatial variability in stands managed for …

Multipurpose and ecological forest management frameworks are being increasingly applied
across the Global North on public lands. However, the discourse and practice of public forest …

Climate change poses threats to forests, creating a need for adaptation to novel and
changing conditions. This need has led to the creation of adaptation frameworks including …

Forest gaps play an important role during forest succession in temperate forest ecosystems.
However, the differences in spatial distribution and replacement patterns of woody plants …

Introduction Field experiments of gap-based harvest systems in temperate northern
hardwood forests have provided inconsistent support for the theory that such regeneration …
