Pfeifer, M.,; Lefebvre, V.; Peres, C.A.; Banks-Leite, C.; Wearn, O.R.; Marsh, C.J.; Butchart, S.H.M.; Arroyo-Rodríguez, V.; Barlow, J.; Cerezo, A.; Cisneros, L.; D'Cruze, N.; Faria, D.; Hadley, A.; Harris, S.M.; Klingbeil, B.T.; Kormann, U.; Lens, L.; Medina-Rangel, G.F.; Morante-Filho, J.C.; Olivier, Pieter Ignatius; Peters, S.L.; Pidgeon, A.; Ribeiro, D.B.; Scherber, C.; Schneider-Maunoury, L.; Struebig, M.; Urbina-Cardona, N.; Watling, J.I.; Willig, M.R.; Wood, E.M.; Ewers, R.M. (Nature Publishing Group, 2017-11)Forest edges influence more than half of the world’s forests and contribute to worldwide declines in biodiversity and ecosystem functions. However, predicting these declines is challenging in heterogeneous fragmented ...

Rolo, Victor; Olivier, Pieter Ignatius; Van Aarde, Rudi J. (Wiley, 2018-07)QUESTIONS : What drives canopy gap formation in regenerating coastal dune forest? Does canopy gap size frequency distribution differ between new and old‐growth forests? Can canopy gaps divert regenerating trajectories? LOCATION ...

Milheiras, Sergio G.; Sallu, Susannah M.; Marshal, Andrew R.; Shirima, Deo D.; Kioko, Esther N.; Loveridge, Robin; Moore, Eleanor; Olivier, Pieter Ignatius; Teh, Yit Arn; Rushton, Stephen; Pfeifer, Marion (Frontiers Media S.A., 2022-05-26)Global demand for agricultural products continues to grow. However, efforts to boost productivity exacerbate existing pressures on nature, both on farms and in the wider landscape. There is widespread appreciation of the ...

Rolo, Victor; Olivier, Pieter Ignatius; Pfeifer, Marion; Van Aarde, Rudi J. (Elsevier, 2018-01)Changes in structure and functioning of tree communities in response to forest fragmentation may alter tropical forest’s capacity to store carbon and regulate climate. However, evidence for indirect effects of forest ...

Olivier, Pieter Ignatius; Van Aarde, Rudi J. (Wiley, 2014-07)AIM : We used a hierarchical fractal-based sampling design to test how sampling scale influences i) beta diversity and ii) inferences on the modelled contribution of niche- versus dispersal-based assembly processes in ...

Olivier, Pieter Ignatius; Rolo, Victor; Van Aarde, Rudi J. (Public Library of Science, 2017-04-04)The peninsula effect predicts that the number of species should decline from the base of a peninsula to the tip. However, evidence for the peninsula effect is ambiguous, as different analytical methods, study taxa, and ...

Olivier, Pieter Ignatius; Van Aarde, Rudi J. (Wiley, 2017-03)South African coastal forests form part of two critically endangered eco-regions and harbor an extinction debt. Remainingfragments are small, isolated, and embedded within a range of human land-use types. In this study, ...

Rolo, Victor; Olivier, Pieter Ignatius; Van Aarde, Rudi J. (Elsevier, 2016-10)The planting or seeding of pioneer species to promote restoration apparently contributes little to the establishment of late-successional species, despite the common assumption that they facilitate forest regeneration.We ...

Pfeifer, Marion; Sallu, Susannah M.; Marshall, Andrew R.; Rushton, Stephen; Moore, Eleanor; Shirima, Deo D.; Smit, Josephine; Kioko, Esther; Barnes, Lauren; Waite, Catherine; Raes, Leander; Braunholtz, Laura; Olivier, Pieter Ignatius; Ishengoma, Evodius; Bowers, Sam; Guerreiro-Milheiras, Sergio (Royal Society, 2023-01)The science guiding design and evaluation of restoration interventions in tropical landscapes is dominated by ecological processes and outcomes and lacks indicators and methods that integrate human wellbeing into the ...

Rolo, Victor; Olivier, Pieter Ignatius; Van Aarde, Rudi J. (Wiley, 2017-09)Functional diversity indicators are increasingly used to monitor forest function recovery because they connect biodiversity to ecosystem functions. However, identifying which functions deviate from a reference forest has ...

E.; Marchant, Rob; Burt, Andrew; Calders, Kim; Courtney-Mustaphi, Colin; Cuni-Sanchez, Aida; Deere, Nicolas J.; Denu, Dereje; Gonzalez de Tanago, Jose; Hayward, Robin; Lau, Alvaro; Macia, Manuel J.; Olivier, Pieter Ignatius; Pellikka, Petri; Seki, Hamidu; Shirima, Deo; Trevithick, Rebecca; Wedeux, Beatrice; Wheeler, Charlotte; Munishi, Pantaleo K.T.; Martin, Thomas; Mustari, Abdul; Platts, Philip J. (BioMed Central, 2018-01-08)BACKGROUND : Canopy structure, defined by leaf area index (LAI), fractional vegetation cover (FCover) and fraction of absorbed photosynthetically active radiation (fAPAR), regulates a wide range of forest functions and ...
