Natural disturbances and forest dynamics in temperate forests of Europe
Original language description
Forest ecosystems are dynamic; their composition and structure are in a continuous state of change. These changes are driven by a variety of processes that operate at different spatial and temporal scales, ranging from small-scale competitive interactions to millennial scale changes in climate. One of the most important drivers of forest dynamics is natural disturbance, the subject of this chapter. All forest ecosystems are influenced by disturbances, whether by occasional death of canopy trees caused by pathogens, by widespread low severity mortality caused by drought or herbivory, or by severe stand-replacing fires, blowdowns, or insect outbreaks, to name a few. A key concept in the field of ecology that emerged in the last century was the recognition that plant community structure and composition are not in equilibrium, but are dynamic due to the influence of natural disturbances.
