TL;DR: Improved resource availability caused large increases in growth and consequently accelerated development, but it had little effect on belowground allocation that was not explained by development.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors summarized the current state of knowledge of soil fauna as it relates to and is influenced by various disturbances, focusing on three main natural and anthropogenic disturbance types: 1) natural disturbances, including damage from wind and flooding; 2) invasive species, including above and belowground flora and fauna; and 3) climate change impacts on the atmosphere and temperature.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present results from an interdisciplinary graduate-level seminar class focused on this topic and highlight differences in their respective approach to ecology and give examples where disciplinary perspective influences their interpretation of the system under study.

TL;DR: Intensively managed hardwood forest systems (IMHFS), grown using conventional agricultural as well as forestry methods, can help alleviate potential problems in natural forest production areas, but the ecologically simplified, monocultural systems may greatly increase the crop's susceptibility to pests.

TL;DR: In this article, more stress-tolerant species that have robust site requirements do not benefit from water and nutrient augmentation, however, more stress tolerant species do benefit from increased forest productivity.
