SIVIM Deciduous Forests – Database of deciduous forests from the Iberian Peninsula [PDF]
“SIVIM Deciduous Forests” is a thematic database established in 2015, focused on forest vegetation from the Iberian Peninsula and southern France. It was registered in the Global Index of Vegetation Databases (GIVD ID: EU-00-023) in January 2016. All types of temperate and submediterranean non-riparian deciduous forests of the phytosociological classes

Comparing ecosystem gaseous elemental mercury fluxes over a deciduous and coniferous forest
Sources of neurotoxic mercury in forests are dominated by atmospheric gaseous elemental mercury (GEM) deposition, but a dearth of direct GEM exchange measurements causes major uncertainties about processes that determine GEM sinks.

Determinants of composition, diversity and structure in a seasonally dry forest in Myanmar
Seasonally dry forest with a deciduous canopy is a widespread ecosystem in Southeast Asia. Debate continues about whether this vegetation is forest or savanna. Savannas have tree cover 70%, C3-dominated ground vegetation, and infrequent fires. We studied

The potential of an increased deciduous forest fraction to mitigate the effects of heat extremes in Europe [PDF]
Deciduous forests are characterized by a higher albedo, a reduced stomatal resistance, and a deeper root system in comparison to coniferous forests.
