The forest canopy is fundamentally important in biodiversity conservation and ecosystem
function. Cryptogamic epiphytes are dominant tree bole and canopy elements in temperate …

Intensive forest management has been applied in most Fennoscandian forests for a period
of almost one felling rotation. This paradigm has produced even-aged and even-structured …

Although forest edges have been studied extensively as an important consequence of
fragmentation, a unifying theory of edge influence has yet to be developed. Our objective …

Although anthropogenic edges are an important consequence of timber harvesting, edges
due to natural disturbances or landscape heterogeneity are also common. Forest edges …

Conservation and restoration programs usually involve nostalgic claims about the past,
along with calls to return to that past or recapture some aspect of it. Knowledge of history is …

Among the different organisms, lichens are considered as one of the best bioindicators of
environmental changes either due to natural or man-made disturbances. Lichens show …

We investigated microclimatic edge gradients associated with grassy powerlines, paved
highways and perennial creeks in wet tropical forest in northeastern Australia during wet …

Question: What are the responses of epiphytic lichens to the intensity of management along
a large environmental gradient in Mediterranean Quercus forests? Location: Central Spain …

Epiphytic lichens are an important part of the vegetation of northern coniferous forests of
Eurasia and North America. Much progress has been made during recent decades at …

This paper aims to assess the influence of canopy cover on lichen growth in boreal forests
along a regional forest gradient. Biomass and area gain, and some acclimation traits, were …
