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

open access: yesGlobal 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.

Tropical Deforestation and Recolonization by Exotic and Native Trees: Spatial Patterns of Tropical Forest Biomass, Functional Groups, and Species Counts and Links to Stand Age, Geoclimate, and Sustainability Goals

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2018
We mapped native, endemic, and introduced (i.e., exotic) tree species counts, relative basal areas of functional groups, species basal areas, and forest biomass from forest inventory data, satellite imagery, and environmental data for Puerto Rico and the

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

open access: yesEcological 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

Ambient new particle formation parameter indicates potential rise in future events [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Atmospheric new particle formation is a general phenomenon observed over coniferous forests. So far nucleation is described as a function of gaseous sulfuric acid concentration only, which is unable to explain the observed seasonality of nucleation ...
