Forest regeneration in a context of environmental uncertainty
Forest regeneration in a context of environmental uncertainty
Embedded Files
Brief summary:
We assess how the current context of environmental uncertainty is affecting forest regeneration and the consequences for future forest persistence. In particular, we study the interactions between climate, local site conditions (light, soil characteristics, previous land uses) and plant-plant interactions in regeneration success. We also investigate the role of biotic disturbances such as browsing by ungulates or pathogen spillover from the canopy on seedling mortality.
