Social media is increasingly used by healthcare users and providers to connect and communicate with each other. Such use is changing the interactions in healthcare and it is not clear what effects this may have for healthcare provision. Although it could be beneficial to both parties, it could also bring threats for healthcare providers and disrupt the healthcare system. Therefore, it is import...

After two major storms, the Swedish Transport Administration was granted permission in 2008 to expand the railroad corridor from 10 to 20 m from the rail banks, and to clear the forest edges in the expanded area. In order to evaluate the possibilities for managers to promote and control the species composition of the woody regrowth so that a forest edge with a graded profile develops over time,...

The ecological impacts of changing forest management practices in Europe are poorly understood despite European forests being highly managed. Furthermore, the effects of potential drivers of forest biodiversity decline are rarely considered in concert, thus limiting effective conservation or sustainable forest management. We present a trait-based framework that we use to assess the detrimental ...

Forest cover transitions in the developing tropics are conditioned by agricultural change. The expansion, intensification, and diversification of agricultural land uses are tied to regional economic/environmental regimes and decisions of local farming households. Land changescienceandagrariansystems research sharean interest in the drivers of household strategies, land use impacts, and typologi...

The concept of “solution spaces” is used to explore the potential future forestry under climate change for different types management structures. We base analysis in New Zealand, where plays an increasingly critical role nation’s policy, but could be applied any region. Understanding solution spaces and ways which they can influenced at levels ownership a step towards effective adaptation. Buil...

6 [1] This study examined daily streamflow response over up to four decades in northwest 7 conifer forest and eastern deciduous forest sites in the United States. We used novel 8 methods to analyze daily observations of climate and streamflow spanning more than 9 900 basin years of record at 14 treated/control basin pairs where forest removal and 10 regrowth experiments were underway in the per...

Reliable predictions of how changing climate and disturbance regimes will affect forest ecosystems are crucial for effective forest management. Current fire and climate research in forest ecosystem and community ecology offers data and methods that can inform such predictions. However, research in these fields occurs at different scales, with disparate goals, methods, and context. Often results...
