Trait‐based signatures of cloud base height in a tropical cloud forest [PDF]
American Journal of Botany, 2020 PremiseClouds have profound consequences for ecosystem structure and function. Yet, the direct monitoring of clouds and their effects on biota is challenging especially in remote and topographically complex tropical cloud forests. We argue that known relationships between climate and the taxonomic and functional composition of plant communities may ...

Noteworthy records of Myotis Kaup, 1829 species in northeastern Guatemala, including the first record of M. volans (H. Allen, 1866) (Chiroptera, Vespertilionidae) from the country [PDF]
Check ListMyotis is the most diverse genus of bats in Central America, with 10 species currently reported for Guatemala. Here, we present the first record of M. volans (H. Allen, 1866), and third record of M.

Chemical composition of ambient aerosol, ice residues and cloud droplet residues in mixed-phase clouds: single particle analysis during the Cloud and Aerosol Characterization Experiment (CLACE 6) [PDF]
, 2009 Two different single particle mass spectrometers were operated in parallel at the Swiss High Alpine Research Station Jungfraujoch (JFJ, 3580 m a.s.l.) during the Cloud and Aerosol Characterization Experiment (CLACE 6) in February and March 2007.

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) as they control water regimes and sunlight that can be perceived by plants. These ecosystems provide a key role in ecosystem services to humanity and are considered hotspots of endemism, given that the number of species is restricted to their microclimates ...

Toward an Understanding of the Indirect Climatic Effect of Aerosols [PDF]
, 2003 This thesis is motivated by the need to improve our understanding of the aerosol indirect effect. The activation of aerosol into cloud droplets has been extensively studied, using a comprehensive numerical cloud droplet activation model. Using this model,
