Assessing the stability of tree ranges and influence of disturbance in eastern US forests

Woodall, C.W.; Zhu, K.; Westfall, J.A.; Oswalt, C.M.; D’Amato, A.W.; Walters, B.F.; Lintz, H.E. (Elsevier, 2013-01-07)

Shifts in tree species ranges may occur due to global climate change, which in turn may be exacerbated by natural disturbance events. Within the context of global climate change, developing techniques to monitor tree r ...
Canopy gaps affect long-term patterns of tree growth and mortality in mature and old-growth forests in the Pacific Northwest

Gray, Andrew N.; Spies, Thomas A.; Pabst, Robert J. (Elsevier, 2012-10-01)

Canopy gaps created by tree mortality can affect the speed and trajectory of vegetation growth, species’ population dynamics, and spatial heterogeneity in mature forests. Most studies focus on plant development within ga ...
Patterns of mortality in an old-growth mixed-forest of the southern Sierra Nevada, California

Smith, Thomas F.; Rizzo, David M.; North, Malcolm (Society of American Foresters, 2005)

Mortality patterns in an old-growth, mixed-conifer forest, in the absence of wildfire, were investigated at the Teakettle Experimental Forest from 2000 to 2002. We tested the hypothesis that after a century of fire sup ...
