Hydrology of tropical montane cloud forests: a reassessment.
, 2000 Extending an earlier review of the literature (Bruijnzeel and Proctor, 1995), this paper incorporates the results obtained by post-1993 hydrological and hydrometeorological studies in tropical montane cloud forests (TMCF) situated mostly in Latin America and the Caribbean.

After Dinner Conversation, 2022
How important is the person who controls the stories of the past? What happens when that person changes community stories to meet his needs? In this work of philosophical fantasy short fiction, Acoti is shot with a poison dart while in the forest. With much effort, his friend takes him to Cuadelo, the community medicine man. Acoti is suspicious because

The incidence and implications of clouds for cloud forest plant water relations
Ecology Letters, 2012AbstractAlthough clouds are the most recognisable and defining feature of tropical montane cloud forests, little research has focussed on how clouds affect plant functioning. We used satellite and ground‐based observations to study cloud and leaf wetting patterns in contrasting tropical montane and pre‐montane cloud forests.

Cloud forests represent a rare and fragile ecosystem that is under threat in many parts of the world. These rich mountain forests make up no more than 2.5 percent of the world's tropical forests but contain a disproportionately large number of the world's species.

Quantitative measures of immersion in cloud and the biogeography of cloud forests
2011Sites described as tropical montane cloud forests differ greatly, in part because observers tend to differ in their opinion as to what constitutes frequent and prolonged immersion in cloud. This definitional difficulty interferes with hydrologic analyses, assessments of environmental impacts on ecosystems, and biogeographical analyses of cloud forest ...

The Samoan archipelago is situated in the South Pacific Ocean at a latitude of 13°–15° S and a longitude of 168°–173° W, and runs in a west-northwest direction east of Fiji, north of Tonga, south of Tokelau, and west of Niue and the Cook Islands. Its nine inhabited islands and several uninhabited islets, plus two distant coral islands, have a total ...

Origin of clouds of the lα forest
Astrophysics, 2000A model is proposed for the formation of clouds of the La forest. Earlier calculations have shown that the UV emission from hot stars must play an important role in the reionization of the pregalactic medium (PGM). The formation of galaxies therefore occurred simultaneously with PGM ionization, and the reionization process was nonlinear. With allowance

Boreal forests, aerosols and the impacts on clouds and climate
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2008Previous studies have concluded that boreal forests warm the climate because the cooling from storage of carbon in vegetation and soils is cancelled out by the warming due to the absorption of the Sun's heat by the dark forest canopy. However, these studies ignored the impacts of forests on atmospheric aerosol.
