How do we define #forestdegradation in different ecosystems?

We are looking for papers that tackle the complexity of measuring degradation in temperate and boreal forests.

Community-level boxplots of the total number of (a) flowers and (b) flowering species in different study locations. The black lines on the box plots indicate median value; box limits represent interquartile range (IQR; 25th–75th percentiles), and whiskers extend to 1.5× the IQR. The black circles represent the original data points. Significant differences in timing between the locations are indicated with brackets (Tukey's honestly significant difference test, *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001). Community-level general additive mixed-effects model (GAMM) fits of (c) flower abundance and (d) number of flowering species as a smoothed function of day of the year.

Online now: Disability in ecology and evolution
Disability in ecology and evolution
In this TrendsTalk series 'Disability in ecology and evolution' in Trends in Ecology and Evolution, we will be hearing from people about their experiences being disabled in ecology and evolution. We are asking ecologists and evolutionary biologists with disabilities what the community could do to make our field more inclusive – these changes can be very practical things (e.g., large fonts), they could be institutional, or involve people’s attitudes and beliefs. We hope you enjoy the series.

Our research team just published a new paper: "Aspen impedes wildland fire spread in southwestern United States landscapes".

Aspen forests are thought to be more resistant to burning compared to conifer forests, but this has not been well studied.
