Anthropogenic alterations of genetic diversity within tree populations: Implications for forest ecosystem resilience (2008, background): “Studies employing computer-based simulated harvests also indicate that tropical forests are at risk of allelic loss following harvests (Degen et al., 2006; Sebbenn et al., 2008), although these apparent losses are predicted to be transient in populations with overlapping generations (Degen et al.”
Modelling the long-term impacts of selective logging on genetic diversity and demographic structure of four tropical tree species in the Amazon forest (2008, unknown): “This model has already been used to study the effects of air pollution, forest logging, and fragmentation on the genetic diversity of tree species (Degen and Scholz, 1998; Degen et al., 2002, 2006).”
Prospects for Sustainable Logging in Tropical Forests (2012, background): “The limited literature on tropical tree pollination, genetic exchange, and reproductive success at varying adult densities suggests that there must be a density below which every tree species faces local extinction (Degen et al. 2006).”
Modelling exploration of the future of European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) under climate change—Range, abundance, genetic diversity and adaptive response (2010, methodology): “The spatially explicit population genetics approach as implemented in Eco-Gene Landscape (Degen et al., 1996) showed a limited impact of changing temperature and rainfall on the number of reproductive trees and the genetic diversity of beech at the center of its distribution range in the mountainous”
Geographical genetics and the conservation of forest trees (2009, background): “However, modelling suggests that, over a sufficiently long term, logging scenarios are likely to result in loss of alleles and genotypes for many tropical tree species currently harvested (Lowe et al., 2005; Degen et al., 2006; Sebbenn et al., 2008).”
