In Amazon secondary forests are dominated by pioneer species that typically produce large amounts of small and dormant seeds that are able to form a persistent soil seed bank. Seed dormancy in this group of species is overcome by environmental conditions

Stemflow Dynamics in the Jamari National Forest (Brazilian Amazon): I. The Role of Tree Structure
A portion of rainfall that contacts tree canopies is drained down tree stems as stemflow. Stemflow is an underexamined component of rainfall partitioning in tropical forests. To investigate how tree canopy structural attributes influence stemflow in the Brazilian Amazon, we measured stemflow, rainfall, and dendrometric parameters of 56 trees in the ...

Unravelling the drivers of island species richness in tropical savannas
Murundu island area explains a substantial proportion of the variation in tree and herb richness, consistent with Island Biogeography Theory. On average, a 10% increase in island size corresponds to increases of seven tree species and 7.8 herb species.

Impacto do desmatamento de uma área de mangue no albedo superficial
Manguezais são ecossistemas peculiares encontrados nas regiões tropicais. A degradação dos manguezais altera o balanço superficial de radiação, e por consequência o albedo.
