Mountain Pine Beetle-Induced Changes to Selected Lodgepole Pine Fuel Complexes within the Intermountain Region (2007, result): “This agrees with previous work by Stone and Wolfe (1996), who also found increases in total understory biomass in postepidemic MPB stands.”
Direct and indirect ecosystem consequences of an invasive pest on forests dominated by eastern hemlock (2002, background): “Several studies examining the impacts of pests and pathogens on their hosts focused on mortality patterns and associated vegetation dynamics (Aldrich & Drooz, 1967; Stephens, 1988; Trial & Devine, 1994; Stone & Wolfe, 1996).”
Forest structure and regeneration following a mountain pine beetle epidemic in southeastern Wyoming (2012, background): “Mortality of overstory trees may release resources that are potentially available for understory vegetation including surviving and establishing trees (e.g., Stone and Wolfe, 1996).”
Moving from pattern to process: Coexistence mechanisms under intermediate disturbance regimes (2004, background): “The range of disturbances was often quite large [from 0 to 100% ground cover disturbed (Wilson & Tilman 2002) or 5 to 94% mass mortality (Stone & Wolfe 1996)].”
Patterns of above- and below-ground response of understory conifer release 6 years after partial cutting (2002, background): “Tree response to different treatments consisting of varying degrees of canopy removal is a well-studied phenomenon in many different forest ecosystems (Coates and Burton 1999; Kneeshaw et al. 1998; Sundkivst 1994; Stone and Wolfe 1996; Prévost 1997; Oliver and Dolph 1992).”
Mechanisms of plant survival and mortality during drought: why do some plants survive while others succumb to drought? (2008, background): “Understory vegetation may respond with increased growth (Stone & Wolfe, 1996; Rich et al., 2008), potentially altering successional pathways with feedbacks to surface hydrology and productivity.”
Stand characteristics and downed woody debris accumulations associated with a mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins) outbreak in Colorado (2009, unknown): “Various studies have reported increases in understory vegetation after bark beetle outbreaks (Amman, 1977; McCambridge et al., 1982; Stone and Wolfe, 1996; McMillin and Allen, 2000; McMillin et al., 2003; Lynch et al., 2006; Page and Jenkins, 2007a).”
