TL;DR: A global analysis of 403 tropical and temperate tree species shows that for most species mass growth rate increases continuously with tree size, which means large, old trees do not act simply as senescent carbon reservoirs but actively fix large amounts of carbon compared to smaller trees.
Journal ArticleDOI
Testing predictions of the Janzen–Connell hypothesis: a meta‐analysis of experimental evidence for distance‐ and density‐dependent seed and seedling survival
Liza S. Comita,Liza S. Comita,Simon A. Queenborough,Stephen J. Murphy,Janelle L. Eck,Kaiyang Xu,Meghna Krishnadas,Noelle G. Beckman,Yan Zhu +8 more
TL;DR: This study provides support for the idea that distance- and density-dependent mortality occurs in plant communities world-wide and indicates that natural enemies are frequently the cause of such patterns, consistent with the Janzen–Connell hypothesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Plight of Large Animals in Tropical Forests and the Consequences for Plant Regeneration
S. Joseph Wright,Kathryn E. Stoner,Noelle G. Beckman,Richard T. Corlett,Rodolfo Dirzo,Helene C. Muller-Landau,Gabriela Nuñez-Iturri,Carlos A. Peres,Benjamin C. Wang +8 more
TL;DR: A special section is introduced that addresses the bushmeat or wild meat crisis, its direct impact on game species, and its indirect impact on plants in tropical forests.
Journal ArticleDOI
Forest roads as partial barriers to terrestrial salamander movement
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used displacement and homing experiments to determine whether forest roads are barriers to the movement of terrestrial salamanders, and they concluded that narrow forest roads were partial barriers to salamander movement and that steep roadside verges may exacerbate these effects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of forest roads on the abundance and activity of terrestrial salamanders
David M. Marsh,Noelle G. Beckman +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of forest roads on the abundance, surface activity, and body condition of red-backed salamanders (Plethodon cinereus) and slimy salams (P. glutinosus and P. cylindraceus) in the Southern Appalachians of Virginia were studied.
