Characterizing Canopy Openness Across Large Forested Landscapes Using Spherical Densiometer and Smartphone Hemispherical Photography

Katie L. Beeles et al.

Summary: This study compared two popular methods for measuring canopy openness and found that the traditional spherical densiometer can effectively characterize canopy openness across diverse canopy conditions, while providing calibration for these two popular methods across diverse canopies.

Logging legacies in a plant biodiversity hotspot: Altered distribution and abundance patterns of the shrub layer in the southern Appalachians

Margaret Woodbridge et al.

Summary: Altered disturbance regimes in forest ecosystems can result in the formation of dense understory vegetation, which can limit tree seedling recruitment, decrease biodiversity, and alter forest ecosystem structure and functioning. Pervasive logging in the southern Appalachians may have contributed to the formation of a dense understory shrub layer that suppresses plant diversity and tree recruitment, although the evidence for this idea is mixed.

Harvestmen (Opiliones) community structure varies across forest-meadow ecotones in a biodiverse karst region

Slavomir Stasiov et al.

Summary: The study found that the number of harvestmen was highest in forest habitats, lowest in meadows, and species diversity was greater in forest edges. Harvestmen epigeic activity-density was positively correlated with tree canopy cover and negatively correlated with the cover of herbaceous layer.

Analysis of similarities (ANOSIM) for 2-way layouts using a generalised ANOSIM statistic, with comparative notes on Permutational Multivariate Analysis of Variance (PERMANOVA)

Paul J. Somerfield et al.

Summary: ANOSIM is a robust non-parametric framework for comparing differences in resemblances among groups of samples. The generalised statistic R-O replaces the null hypothesis and describes resemblances among samples under an alternative model. The article discusses the use of the generalised statistic in various designs and provides examples of tests with ordered factors in marine ecological studies.
