Most mycorrhizas are 'balanced'mutualistic associations in which the fungus and plant
exchange commodities required for their growth and survival. Myco-heterotrophic plants …

Conifer regeneration failure in the presence of dense ericaceous cover resulting from the
removal of canopy trees by forest harvesting observed in boreal and temperate forest has …

The mechanistic basis underpinning forest succession is the gap-phase paradigm in which
overstory disturbance interacts with seedling and sapling shade tolerance to determine …

Over the last decade, the field of plant ecology has significantly developed and expanded,
especially in research concerning the herbaceous layer and ground vegetation of forests …

We examined the importance of intermediate-sized gaps and a dense shrub layer on tree
seedling recruitment in a southern Appalachian deciduous forest. We created 12 canopy …

Bioassays are an integral part of allelopathy research. The unsuitability of laboratory
bioassays to explain field situations is discussed previously. In this article, we discuss …

Premise of the Study With biodiversity and rates of climate change among the highest, the
eastern Himalaya are critical for understanding the interaction of these two variables …

To understand the role of leaf‐level plasticity and variability in species invasiveness, foliar
characteristics were studied in relation to seasonal average integrated quantum flux density …

Rhododendron maximum L., a spreading understory shrub, inhibits overstory regeneration
and alters forest community structure in southern Appalachian hardwood forests. Using …

Wildfires are landscape scale disturbances that can significantly affect hydrologic processes
such as runoff generation and sediment and nutrient transport to streams. In Fall 2016 …
