Disturbances in deciduous temperate forest ecosystems of the northern hemisphere: their effects on both recent and future forest development

2013-08-01

Abstract excerpt

Disturbances in forests can kill mature trees, but also create the conditions necessary for the establishment of new tree cohorts and create micro-habitats for new plant and animal species, thereby increasing the species diversity compared to undisturbed stands. We review the types and intensities of disturbances on forests in three regions of the temperate zone of the northern hemisphere: northeastern North Ameri...
