BACKGROUND AND AIMS This study examined the adaptive association between seed germination ecology and specialization to either forest or open habitats across a range of evolutionary lineages of seed plants, in order to test the hypotheses that (1) species' specialization to open vs. shaded habitats is consistently accompanied by specialization in their regeneration niche; and (2) species are th...

Previous chapters in this section suggest that technologv can plav a role in facilitating our understanding of the global environment. Having discussed what is, it is useful to look to the future and discuss what might be, what experts hope will be. and what is planned for the next decades.

This photo shows a fi re in a spruce forest in the Innoko National Wildife Refuge. Scientists at SNRAS are studying the effects of fi re on carbon bioavailability in soils, boreal forest soil respiration, climate change, and the ecology of morel mushrooms. Other fi rerelated projects study the vulnerability of human populations to wildfi re, fuel loads in forests, and management methods that be...
