Wildlife regime in the Boreal forest and the idea of suppression and fuel buildup

Article Abstract:

The idea of unnatural fuel buildup, which was originally developed for Pinus ponderosa ecosystems in the interior West of the United States where historical regime of frequent surface fires had maintained open-canopy conditions, is discussed. The idea of unnatural fuel buildup is invalid for the Boreal and sub-alpine forest, which is another closed-canopy ecosystem with a crown-fire regime.

Forest edges as nutrient and pollutant concentrators: potential synergisms between fragmentation, forest canopies, and the atmosphere

Article Abstract:

The influence of forest edges on atmospheric deposition and subsequent inputs to the forest floor in deciduous forest fragments in the eastern United States is studied. The studies show that forest edges function both as significant traps for air-borne nutrients and pollutants from adjoining agricultural or urban landscapes and effective concentration of below-canopy chemical fluxes.

Effects of Forest Edges on the Distribution, Abundance, and Regional Persistence of Wood-Rotting Fungi

Article Abstract:

Findings indicate that sequential forest management and the creation of larger reserves would boost reserve capacity to sustain edge-sensitive species. Data are drawn from old-forest fragments, wood-decaying fungi indicator species, and edge effects in Finland.
