Forest biodiversity assessment in Peruvian Andean Montane cloud forest [PDF]

Journal of Mountain Science, 2012
Cloud forests are unusual and fragile habitats, being one of the least studied and least understood ecosystems. The tropical Andean dominion is considered one of the most significant places in the world as regards biological diversity, with a very high level of endemism.

Frequency of Low Clouds in Taiwan Retrieved from MODIS Data and Its Relation to Cloud Forest Occurrence

Remote Sensing, 2015
The relationship between satellite-derived low cloud frequency and the occurrence of tropical montane cloud forest (TMCF) in Taiwan was investigated. From daily MODIS cloud mask products between 2003 and 2012 the low cloud class was extracted and mean ...

Development and Application of a Hot-Dry-Windy Index (HDW) Climatology

Atmosphere, 2018
In this paper, we describe and analyze a climatology of the Hot-Dry-Windy Index (HDW), with the goal of providing fire-weather forecasters with information about the daily and seasonal variability of the index.

Hydrometeorology of the Dhofar cloud forest and its implications for groundwater recharge

Journal of Hydrology: Regional Studies, 2018
Study region: The Dhofar mountains are located on the Arabian Peninsula in Southern Oman. Unlike other regions of Oman, the Dhofar mountains have an annual monsoon season that results in a semi-arid cloud forest.

Telipogon helleri (Orchidaceae): population characteristics, new locality in Mexico and risk of extinction

Botan‪ical Sciences, 2016
The first record of Telipogon helleri (Orchidaceae) in Mexico was in 2009. The relevance of this study is the finding and characterization of a second population of this taxon, in a new location, and the revaluation of the original population five years

Forest-PointNet: A Deep Learning Model for Vertical Structure Segmentation in Complex Forest Scenes

Remote Sensing, 2023
The vertical structure of forest ecosystems influences and reflects ecosystem functioning. Terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) enables the rapid acquisition of 3D forest information and subsequent reconstruction of the vertical structure, which provides new

Forested riparian belts as reservoirs of plant species in fragmented landscapes of tropical mountain cloud forest

Botan‪ical Sciences, 2020
Background: Cloud forest in central Veracruz is highly fragmented. However, different arboreal elements are still present within the agricultural matrix, including small patches of secondary forest, isolated trees and forested riparian belts.
