Redistribution of soil water by mature trees towards dry surface soils and uptake by seedlings in a temperate forest
Mature beech trees redistributed soil water, equal to ca. 10% of stand transpiration, from deeper moist soils to dry surface soils, where it was taken up by seedlings of different tree species.

Quantifying relative abundance of the lesser Japanese mole (Mogera imaizumii) in mountain forests: A comparison between natural broad‐leaved forests and conifer plantations
Only a few studies on moles have focused on mountain forests, where assessing abundance is complicated by thick layers of plant leaf litter and complex topography. By carefully searching for active m....
