GilliamMDPI - Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute2019Basel, Switzerland :MDPI,2019.1 electronic resource (272 p.)9783039213092 3039213091 What are the causes and consequences of species diversity in forested ecosystems, and how is this species diversity being affected by rapid environmental and climatic change, movement of invertebrate and vertebrate herbivores into new biogeographic regions, and expanding human populations and associated shifts in land-use patterns? In this book, we explore these questions for assemblages of forest trees, shrubs, and understory herbs at spatial scales ranging from small plots to large forest dynamics plots, at temporal scales ranging from seasons to centuries, in both temperate and tropical regions, and across rural-to-urban gradients in land use.Geographybicsscgamma diversitytree speciesClimatic changeindividual species-area relationshipwoody speciesTILDtreesPseudotsuga menziesiiwindthrowprecipitationspecies conservationspatial analysiscodispersion analysisvariation partitioningherbaceous perennial speciesnorthern hardwood forestsclimate changestand developmentpotential habitatsSmithsonian ForestGEOtree regenerationforest conversionBiodiversity Exploratoriestrunk breakagetopographyquestionnaire surveymid-domain effectassemblage lineage diversitySalicaceaesalvagingtemperate forestsShannon diversityUSDA Forest Servicetree species diversityBray-Curtisspecies-area relationshipEricaceaelegaciesPicea abiesherbaceous layerspatial patternsmountainsUnited Stateswind damageabundanceHubbard Brookelevational shiftsuprootingspecies diversityevolutionary diversityPinus sylvestrisnatural disturbance-based silvicultureVietnamdiversityMaxenthuman footprintproductivityChinamicroarthropodphylogenetic diversitytemperaturehousehold respondentssuccessionbiodiversitytornadosalvage loggingexcess nitrogenclimateforest managementunderstory plant communitiesSimpson diversityspecies richnesslandscape scalestructural complexitytropical evergreen mixed forestseasonal variationsdisturbance severitycompetition and facilitationcanopy structureFagus sylvaticaGeographyEllison Aaron M1256305Gilliam Frank SScCtBLLScCtBLLBOOK9910346683003321Causes and Consequences of Species Diversity in Forest Ecosystems4317654UNINA
