Maria Lucrecia Lipoma and Sandra Díaz discuss their recent Journal of Ecology paper ‘Low resilience at the early stages of recovery of the semiarid Chaco forest ‐ Evidence from a field experiment‘. Find out more about the insights they gained into the mechanistic understanding of resilience and how it can be used to better design…
Author James Dalling discusses recent paper “Nutrient availability predicts multiple stem frequency, an indicator of species resprouting capacity in tropical forests” by Heineman, Turner and Dalling. Read on to find out more about variations in the resprouting ability of tropical trees. The life of a tree is seldom the unobstructed path of a single stem…
Author Tom Ovenden examined the impact of extreme drought on Scots pine trees in recently published article, Life after recovery: Increased resolution of forest resilience assessment sheds new light on post‐drought compensatory growth and recovery dynamic. We hope you enjoy the brilliant video animation created by Tom to summarise the key findings of this research…
Authors Robert Whelan and David Ayre provide further insight into their recently published Journal of Ecology article: Long inter‐fire intervals do not guarantee a large seed bank in a serotinous shrub (Banksia spinulosa Sm.) Find out how fires influence the seedling recruitment of an Australian shrub. This research is especially poignant in the wake of the…
