In the field of ecology, a similar conundrum exists between the cause and effect relationship between disturbance and diversity. On the one hand, disturbance can clearly influence community-level ...

My research interests are in disturbance ecology, climate variability, forest mortality processes, tree ecophysiology, ecological restoration, and biogeography of temperate forests and montane ...

Fast-growing and small-seeded tree species are dominating Brazilian forests in regions with high levels of deforestation and ...

A forest ecologist, Dr. Greene studies pollination, seed production, seed abscission and dispersal, and germination, as well as broader issues in forestry and disturbance ecology. He is funded by ...

My research focuses on the structure, function, and disturbance ecology of temperate forest landscapes of western North America. I use a combination of field-based longitudinal datasets, remote ...

Our team investigates questions in marine benthic ecology, with a common interest in marine conservation related issues. Research lines include disturbance ecology, spatial ecology, biodiversity and ...

Despite the population being almost four times larger than it was in 1982, a new study published in the journal Ecology ...

Gradually, these communities replace one another until a “climax community”—like a mature forest—is reached, or until a disturbance, like a fire, occurs. Ecological succession is a fundamental concept ...
