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.gamma 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 sylvaticaGilliam Frank Sauth1325049Ellison Aaron MauthBOOK9910346683003321Causes and Consequences of Species Diversity in Forest Ecosystems3036516UNINA
