Physical Damage to Artificial Seedlings in Relation to Distance from Tropical Forest Edges
Litterfall can be a major cause of seedling mortality and damage in tropical forests, and is often elevated near forest edges. We predicted that, in Soberania National Park in central Panama, the proportion of experimental seedlings damaged by litterfall would be higher at forest edges than in the forest interior. Over a 16-week period during the rainy season, 41% of 1260 experimental seedlings...
متن کاملEffects of forest–clearcut edges on a forest- breeding songbird
To understand local and regional changes in Neotropical migrant songbird populations it is important to determine whether forest-breeders can use and persist in the dynamic, variegated landscapes created by modern forestry practices. We made detailed observations of a species classified as a mature-forest specialist, the black-throated blue warbler (Dendroica caerulescens), adjacent to clearcut...
متن کاملDistribution of radionuclide in the forest soils (Western Ghats-India)
Background: The presence of radionuclides in the soil, measures need to be taken to minimize the radiation dose to humans. It is mostly gamma-emitting radionuclides that contribute to the radiation dose in long term behavior of these radionuclides in soil may determine the extent to which such countermeasures need to be applied. Materials and Methods: The activity concentration of these radionu...
متن کاملEctomycorrhizal fungal communities at forest edges
1 Ectomycorrhizal fungi are spatially associated with established ectomycorrhizal vegetation, but the influence of distance from established vegetation on the presence, abundance, diversity and community composition of fungi is not well understood. 2 We examined mycorrhizal communities in two abandoned agricultural fields in Minnesota, USA, using Quercus macrocarpa seedlings as an in situ bioas...
