in light, moisture, and nutrient availability in near proximity to the disturbance.

Toppled trees have the potential to become nurse logs, nurturing habitats for other forest organisms.

Tree throws contribute to bedrock weathering and soil formation. In thin soils, fresh bedrock fragments are a large proportion of the upturned rootwad, but trees are sparse, so rates of weathering are low; in intermediate-depth soils less
