Abstract:

Abstract Global change has been accompanied by recent increases in the frequency and intensity of various ecological disturbances (e.g., fires, floods, cyclones), both natural and anthropogenic in origin. Because these disturbances often interact, their cumulative and synergistic effects can result in unforeseen consequences, such as insect outbreaks, crop failure, and progressive ecosystem degradation. We consider the roles of biological legacies, thresholds, and lag effects responsible for the distinctive impacts of interacting disturbances. We propose a hierarchical classification that dist

Abstract:

Silvicultural site preparation methods are used as planned disturbances for counteracting soil and vegetation constraints, as well as facilitating successful tree regeneration and growth. Understanding the possible effects of silvicultural site preparation on the ecosystem and evaluating site preparation as an ecological disturbance can help guide the selection and application of site preparation techniques for forest management goals. This review evaluates silvicultural site preparation techniques that are commonly used in boreal mixedwood ecosystems as agents of ecological disturbance by com

Abstract:

Abstract:Disturbance is a central process in forest dynamics, yet the role of natural disturbance in tropical montane forests (TMFs) has not been systematically addressed. We posit that disturbance in TMFs has a wider role than commonly acknowledged and its effects are distinctive because: (1) TMFs often have very low rates of productivity due to low resources, and so recovery from disturbance may be slow, (2) montane forests have marked environmental heterogeneity which interacts with disturbance, (3) a large percentage of TMFs are regularly exposed to high energy windstorms and landslides, a

Abstract:

The importance of natural disturbances for biodiversity is well-documented in the disturbance ecology literature. Natural disturbances such as fire, wind, and flooding strongly influence ecosystems by creating short and long-term ecological processes. Conservation management of protected areas should consider the importance of natural disturbances since natural shifts in ecosystems are, in a long-term perspective, necessary to maintain high biodiversity. The purpose of this study is to explore how and if natural disturbances are incorporated in the management of Swedish national parks and to i

Abstract:

Canada’s boreal biome is a mosaic of forests and peatlands. These ecosystems have developed dynamically, periodically affected by disturbance events of significant spatial extent and variable severity, reducing ecosystem biomass. The same ecosystem types typically regenerate from biological legacies. However, concern is growing about the impact of these different anthropogenic disturbances, particularly compound disturbances including climate change, which open the door to shifts to alternate stable states. One strategy promoted to regulate anthropogenic disturbance is the “mitigation hierarch

Abstract:

A model of disturbance equilibrationThe contemporary ‘non-equilibrium’ paradigm in ecology acknowledges that ecosystems and their component floral and faunal communities show historic dynamism, not unchanging constancy (Shugart & West 1981; Pickett et al. 1992; Hengeveld 1994). In formulating a hierarchical view of landscape ecology, Urban et al. (1987) modelled broad classes of forest disturbances and corresponding landscape scales. A reference level is the scale at which a disturbance is observed as an ‘interesting event’. At the next, lower landscape scale the disturbance has a signific

Abstract:

AbstractEcologists addressed the effects of disturbances from the onset of the field by focusing on ecesis, which is the process by which organisms migrate and establish under the environmental conditions created by disturbances. Ecesis is the onset of succession, a self-organizing process whose nature, speed, and outcome depend in part on the outcomes of ecesis and the residual legacies remaining after disturbances. A by-product of succession after a disturbance is the reorganization of species dominance, or novelty. The degree of novelty in the outcome increases with the severity of the dist

Understanding how species respond to disturbance, both natural and anthropogenic, can be crucial to designing effective and targeted management strategies. The greater bilby is a medium-sized Australian marsupial that has suffered a dramatic decline in distribution since European settlement, largely due to introduced predators (foxes and feral cats), agriculture, and changed fire regimes. I conducted a series of natural experiments to investigate the habitat selection, predator-prey interactions, and ecosystem engineering of the bilby in the grazed rangelands of the West Kimberley; I also expl

Deadwood is a key component of the forest ecosystems, due to its importance as a life substrate for several organisms, such as plants, animals, fungi and lichens. This huge versatility is being recognised only in the last decades also by legislation after the increasing findings by the scientific community what biodiversity is and on what it is based. Nevertheless, at an operational level, deadwood conservation measures are not so well implemented yet because it is still widely considered as an issue for many of the forest stakeholders ).

Traditionally, the southern botanists, facing much richer floras, dedicated their attention more to the disciplines of taxonomy and phytosociology. This created a detailed and extensive floristic knowledge on plant geographical distribution, poorly supported by an understanding of dynamic processes.

Small disturbances play an important role in providing spatial heterogeneity that permits new recruits to enter populations in closed sward communities, thereby promoting diversity and species co-existence. The thesis has four components: the first two are based on observation and measurement of the occurrence of small disturbances, molehills and dung pats, in three pastures.

Abstract:

This project was designed to examine the stability of stream ecosystems in response to forest disturbance and subsequent succession. Stability was defined as the ability of streams to retain particulate organic matter and nutrients during storms. I hypothesized that forest streams are least stable during the intermediate stages of forest succession because particulate organic matter accumulations in streams are lowest at that time. This hypothesis was tested by examining stream stability in relation to forest succession. Stream surveys indicated fewer debris dams and organic matter accumulati
