• A meta-analysis of the effects of wildfire, clearcutting, and partial harvest on the abundance of North American small mammals (2009, background): “Currently, forest harvest (mostly in the form of clearcutting) has replaced fire as the primary disturbance in many American forests, causing concerns about loss of biodiversity and resilience of forest ecosystems (Toman and Ashton, 1996; Simberloff, 1999; Drever et al., 2006).”
• Disturbance, structure, and composition: Spruce beetle and Engelmann spruce forests on the Markagunt Plateau, Utah (2007, methodology): “Assessing understory stocking and comparisons of species composition changes pre- to post-outbreak, can reveal whether communities have been permanently altered or have only been temporarily shifted and are reorganizing after a disturbance (sensu Drever et al., 2006).”
• Long-term effects of deer browsing: Composition, structure and productivity in a northeastern Minnesota old-growth forest (2012, background): “…(MFRC, 2003) in place to restore and maintain composition and structural diversity based on natural-disturbance-based-management (NDBM) approaches (Drever et al., 2006), high white-tailed deer populations severely limit these efforts across a large part of this region (Frelich and Reich, 2009).”
• Trajectory-based change detection for automated characterization of forest disturbance dynamics (2007, background): “Land management in forests can also affect biodiversity, hydrology, and economics (Bengtsson et al., 2000; Brown et al., 2005; Drever et al., 2006; Gottschalk et al., 2005; Jules et al., 1999; Kline et al., 2004; Miller et al., 2003; Moore & Wondzell, 2005; Sallabanks et al., 2000; Stephens et al.,…”
• Effects of climate extremes on the terrestrial carbon cycle: concepts, processes and potential future impacts (2015, background): “…climate extreme related impacts as, for example heterogeneous forests are known to be less susceptible to windthrow (Lindroth et al., 2009), insect outbreaks (Drever et al., 2006) and mass movements (Bebi et al., 2009) (see Appendix S1, section A. for biome-specific extremes and related impacts).”
