Genomic resources for the Neotropical tree genus Cedrela (Meliaceae) and its relatives

BMC Genomics, 2019
Background Tree species in the genus Cedrela P. Browne are threatened by timber overexploitation across the Neotropics. Genetic identification of processed timber can be used to supplement wood anatomy to assist in the taxonomic and source validation of ...

Wildlife trade investigations benefit from multivariate stable isotope analyses

Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 3, Page 1083-1104, June 2025.
ABSTRACT The investigation of wildlife trade and crime has benefitted from advances in technology and scientific development in a variety of fields. Stable isotope analysis (SIA) represents one rapidly developing approach that has considerable potential to contribute to wildlife trade investigation, especially in complementing other methods including ...

Insights From a New 1‐ha Permanent Forest Plot Reveal Differences Between Habitat Type and Similarities Between Forest Type in the Southwestern Amazon

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 5, May 2025.
Southwestern Amazon forests are highly diverse, but information on how tree diversity and composition changes between habitat and forest types remains scarce. We conducted floristic analyses to investigate these changes across a precipitation gradient, between habitat types, and between disturbed and old‐growth forest.

Functional complementarity: a review and a new methodological protocol applied to agroforestry systems

Restoration Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 4, May 2025.
Urgent ecosystem restoration is needed in a world with increasing food demands and 80% of agricultural lands degraded. Agroforestry systems (hereafter AFS), which integrate trees and crops, offer a potential solution for ecosystem restoration while providing food resources. The application of the functional trait approach is increasingly recognized for

Cacao grafting increases crop yield without compromising biodiversity

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 3, Page 579-592, March 2025.
Grafting is a successful approach for rejuvenating old, unproductive cacao trees, enhancing smallholder income opportunities and thus reducing pressure for new deforestation‐based plantations. Grafting briefly reduced arthropod abundance and diversity, but recovered in a short time.

New Variants in the Chloroplast Genome Sequence of Two Colombian Individuals of the Cedar Timber Species (Cedrela odorata L.), Using Long-Read Oxford Nanopore Technology

International Journal of Plant Biology
The plant species Cedrela odorata has been largely exploited in the timber industry due to the high demand for its wood. Therefore, C. odorata has been considered a vulnerable species since 1994, under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered ...

Tree Diversity Increases Carbon Stocks and Fluxes Above—But Not Belowground in a Tropical Forest Experiment

Global Change Biology, Volume 31, Issue 2, February 2025.
We examined the potential of mixed‐species planted forests compared to monospecific forests to act as a nature‐based solution to climate change mitigation through carbon sequestration. By analysing multiple carbon stocks and fluxes over 16 years in the world's oldest tropical tree diversity experiment, we found that planted forests with five tree ...

Eucalyptus pellita Plantations May Alter Soil Physicochemical Properties in the Dry Semideciduous Forest Zone in Ghana

Applied and Environmental Soil Science, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Aims Although eucalyptus plantation forestry in West Africa is soaring, its impacts on the soil properties remain inadequately understood. This study investigated the impacts of eucalyptus plantations on soil physical and chemical properties and examined the relationship between soil properties, plantation structure, and carbon stocks in Ghana ...
