Understory Vegetation Dynamics of North American Boreal Forests (2006, background): “This process becomes more prevalent as stands age (Shafi and Yarranton, 1973; De Grandpré et al., 1993; Peltzer et al., 2000; Rees and Juday, 2002), resulting in high microsite heterogeneity at the gap dynamics stage of stand development in boreal forests.”
Impact of bark beetle (Ips typographus L.) disturbance on timber production and carbon sequestration in different management strategies under climate change (2008, background): “Natural disturbances are inherent key processes of forest ecosystems and a major driver of forest development in various forest biomes (e.g., Peltzer et al., 2000; Gromtsev, 2002; Payette and Delwaide, 2003; Lorimer and White, 2003; Harcombe et al., * Corresponding author.”
Manipulation of density of Pseudotsuga menziesii canopies: preliminary effects on understory vegetation (2001, background): “response to thinning (Halpern et al. 1999); and invasion by exo tic plants following disturbance of soil and vegetation (e.g., Toney et al. 1998; Heckman 1999; Thysell and Carey 2000; Peltzer et al. 2000 ).”
Vegetation diversity and vertical structure as indicators of forest disturbance (2004, background): “In fact, the increase in diversity in some harvested boreal forests has been addressed to a short-term response of the system to disturbance (Pitkänen, 2000; Peltzer et al., 2000; Roberts and Zhu, 2002).”
Black bear adaptation to low productivity in the boreal forest (2008, background): “Regenerated sites following timber harvest can often be characterized by higher plant diversity than unharvested forests (Peltzer et al., 2000).”
Short-term response of ground beetles (Coleoptera:Carabidae) to fire and logging in a spruce-dominated boreal landscape (2005, background): “…on several characteristics of the disturbance, especially its severity and resulting mortality rate of organisms, the heterogeneity and structure of the new environment and its degree of connectivity to potential sources of colonists (Sousa, 1984; Peltzer et al., 2000; Spies and Turner, 2001).”
Plant diversity of secondary forests in response to anthropogenic disturbance levels in montane regions of northeastern China (2007, methodology): “Different diversity indices were calculated using the following equations (Shannon and Weaver 1949; Berger and Parke 1970; Hill 1973; Magurran 1988; Ma 1994; Ma and Liu 1994, 1995; Peltzer et al. 2000; Sagar et al. 2003; Schumann et al. 2003).”
