A Merciless Mother: Nature Paying Back in Richard Power’s The Overstory by Sibgha Tanveer

“… The current study deals with the interdependency between human and the non-human world in Richard Powers’ The Overstory. It further explicates the lack of coherence between human and non-human environment. …”

Overstory Structure and Surface Cover Dynamics in the Decade Following the Hayman Fire, Colorado by Paula J. Fornwalt, Camille S. Stevens-Rumann, Byron J. Collins

“…For example, low-severity plots experienced a modest reduction in live overstory density due to both immediate and delayed tree mortality, and no change in live overstory basal area through time; in contrast, high-severity plots experienced an immediate and total loss of live overstory density and basal area. …”

War and Peace in the Anthropocene. The Scale of Realism in Richard Powers&rsquo;s <i>The Overstory</i> by Adam Grener

“…It shows how Richard Powers’s <em>The Overstory</em> (2018) picks up the historical strain of realism developed by Scott, Tolstoy, and Eliot, but extends its scale to situate human life within arboreal and evolutionary timescales. …”

Identifying Regenerated Saplings by Stratifying Forest Overstory Using Airborne LiDAR Data by Liming Du, Yong Pang

“…By delineating individual tree crown using the improved spectral clustering algorithm, we successfully removed the overstory canopy and associated trunk points. Then, individual understory saplings were segmented using an adaptive-mean-shift-based clustering algorithm. …”

“Enlightenment Is a Shared Enterprise”: Tree Ecosystems and the Legacy of Modernity in Richard Powers’s The Overstory by Katarzyna Ostalska

“…In Richard Powers’s Pulitzer Prize-winning The Overstory (2018) the theme of the novel is the forest ecosystem, with a special emphasis placed on trees, upon whose developmental model the processes of (organic and industrial) growth are scrutinized in this novel. …”

Contributions of understory and/or overstory vegetations to soil microbial PLFA and nematode diversities in Eucalyptus monocultures. by Jie Zhao, Songze Wan, Chenlu Zhang, Zhanfeng Liu, Lixia Zhou, Shenglei Fu

“…This study focused on the responses of soil biodiversity to the altering of plant functional groups, namely overstory and understory vegetations, rather than plant diversity gradient. …”

Early snowmelt by an extreme warming event affects understory more than overstory trees in Japanese temperate forests by Kobayashi Makoto, Pamela H. Templer, Ayumi Katayama, Osamu Seki, Kentaro Takagi

“…Furthermore, these changes led to lower C:N ratios of leaves together with the greater growth of understory bamboo vegetation, with no changes in leaf C:N or growth rates of overstory birch trees. Together, our results demonstrate that advancing snowmelt by an extreme warm event in temperate forests is likely to affect N cycling and will benefit understory vegetation without a commensurate change in overstory vegetation, likely due to the increase in available soil N. …”
