Tree damage risk factors associated with large, infrequent wind disturbances of Carolina forests (2008)

Xi, Weimin, Peet, Robert K., Decoster, James K., Urban, Dean L.

Past studies of large, infrequent wind disturbances have shown that meteorological, topographic and biological factors interact to generate complex damage patterns, but have left open the extent to...

Changes in forest structure, species diversity and spatial pattern following hurricane disturbance in a Piedmont North Carolina forest, USA (2008)

Xi, Weimin, Peet, Robert K., Urban, Dean L.

Aims Large hurricanes have profound impacts on temperate forests, but owing to their infrequent nature these effects have rarely been examined in detail. In 1996, Hurricane Fran significantly damaged...

Avian Response To, Andrew J. Hansen, Dean L. Urban

We suggest that the life histories of species within communities may differ among geographic locations and that communities from distinct biomes may respond uniquely to a given trajectory of...

Managing Fragmented Landscapes: A Macroscopic Approach

Timothy H. Keitt, Dean L. Urban, Bruce T. Milne

Habitat fragmentation is generally thought to be a leading cause of loss of biodiversity. In fragmented landscapes, maintenance of habitat connectivity is an important consideration in conservation...
