Response of avian communities to edges of tropical montane forests: Implications for the future of endemic habitat specialists

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2021
Tropical montane landscapes harbor diverse flora and fauna, and many species there are ecological specialists with narrow elevational distributions, limited geographic ranges, and small global populations.

A patch filling method for thematic map refinement: a case study on forest cover mapping in the Greater Mekong Subregion and Malaysia

GIScience & Remote Sensing, 2023
Accurate forest cover mapping is essential for monitoring the status of forest extent in Southeast Asia. However, tropical areas frequently experience cloud cover, resulting in invalid or missing data in thematic maps.

Behind the fog: Forest degradation despite logging bans in an East African cloud forest

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2020
Habitat destruction and deterioration are amongst the main drivers of biodiversity loss. Increasing demand for agricultural products, timber and charcoal has caused the rapid destruction of natural forests, especially in the tropics.

Multi-decadal trends of low-clouds at the Tropical Montane Cloud Forests

Ecological Indicators, 2023
Clouds are critical to the biodiversity and function of Tropical Montane Cloud Forests (TMCF). These ecosystems provide vital services to humanity and are considered hotspots of endemism, given that the number of species is restricted to their microclimates. Cloudiness (e.g., the fraction of low-clouds) in these ecosystems is projected to decline owing

Unleashing the Power of Machine Learning in Nanomedicine Formulation Development

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A random forest machine learning model is able to make predictions on nanoparticle attributes of different nanomedicines (i.e. lipid nanoparticles, liposomes, or PLGA nanoparticles) based on microfluidic formulation parameters. Machine learning models are based on a database of nanoparticle formulations, and models are able to generate unique solutions

Environmental contingency of forest-cloud interactions: Contrasting atmospheric enhancement and suppression mechanisms across Chinese climate gradients

Trees, Forests and People
Forest-cloud interactions exhibit striking regional variations that challenge universal assumptions about forest atmospheric services. Using satellite data (2000–2022) and multiple analytical approaches including correlation analysis, propensity score ...

The climate of cloud forests

Hydrological Processes, 2010
AbstractThis chapter analyses the climatic conditions prevailing at sites where tropical montane cloud forests (TMCF) have been reported. Spatial data‐sets of climate were used to describe the climate at 477 cloud forest sites identified by United Nations Environment Program (UNEP)‐WCMC. Some 85% of the sites are found at altitudes between 400 and 2800
