Anthropo Snips are a quick look at new(ish) interesting papers and concepts related to anthropogenic impacts on natural ecosystems.
Temperate deciduous forests around the world now only exist in small pockets nestled between developments. How is the plant community impacted by invasive species, urban influence, and time since disturbance? Join us today for some surprising results on the subject!
Trammell, T. L., D'Amico III, V., Avolio, M. L., Mitchell, J. C., & Moore, E. (2020). Temperate deciduous forests embedded across developed landscapes: Younger forests harbour invasive plants and urban forests maintain native plants. Journal of Ecology, 108(6), 2366-2375.
NOTE FROM THE EPISODE: It was indeed aerial imagery NOT satellite imagery that was used in the paper - KIrstynn did note it down incorrectly.
The Anthropo Scene is an independent project by young ecologists hoping to educate and share interesting information about invasive species around the world.
