Expansion of gallery forests into central Brazilian savannas
Global Change Biology, 2008AbstractUpland tropical forests have expanded and contracted in response to past climates, but it is not clear whether similar dynamics were exhibited by gallery (riparian) forests within savanna biomes. Because such forests generally have access to ample water, their extent may be buffered against changing climates.

BIRDS ASSOCIATED WITH PAFURI GALLERY FOREST
Ostrich, 1989Abstract The Pafuri River is really a misnomer applied to the Levhuvhu River after its junction with the Mutale River. This far northern area of the Kruger National Park represents a distinctive tropical intrusion into the Transvaal. Some indications of progressive elephant damage to the gallery forest are given from Mr Harold Mockford, who lived at ...

Late Holocene history of savanna gallery forest from Carimagua area, Colombia
Review of Palaeobotany and Palynology, 2000 The pollen record of a 65cm long core Laguna Carimagua-Bosque (4 degrees 04'N, 70 degrees 13'W) shows the late Holocene environmental history from a lake located within the gallery forest of the savannas of the Llanos Orientales of Colombia. Nine AMS radiocarbon dates of the organic deposits show that the core represents the period from ca.

Assessing hydric soils in a gallery forest in the Brazilian Cerrado
Soil Use and Management, 2013 Abstract Hydric soils have important ecological functions such as biodiversity hotspots, hydrological buffering and C storage, but their spatial variability leads to mapping uncertainties. In the Brazilian Cerrado, gallery forests along first‐order streams are used to indicate the occurrence of hydric soils, but ...

Historical development of gallery forests in northeast Kansas
Vegetatio, 1986Woody vegetation, soils, age-diameter relationships and historical development are described for 18 gallery forest stands on Konza Prairie, a tallgrass prairie reserve in northeast Kansas. Detrended correspondence analysis (DCA) coupled with the importance values of dominant species was used to identify four stand types in these forests: Quercus ...

Parasitism of Trees by Marmosets in a Central Brazilian Gallery Forest
Biotropica, 1984Common marmosets (Callithrix jacchus penicillata) living in a central Brazilian gallery forest depend heavily on exudates as a food. The marmosets gnaw holes in the bark of certain tree species, and all exudate collection takes place at these holes. Marmosets thus forage as ectoparasites on these trees.

Gallery forests in the lowlands of Costa Rica
2017Recordings of an exceptionally rapid loss of biodiversity over the last few centuries indicate that we are in the middle of the sixth mass extinction. In birds, habitat fragmentation is well-known for its negative effect on diversity. Due to growth of human population, agricultural and settlement areas are especially expanding in tropical zones, which ...

Acta Oecologica, 2013
Abstract Facilitation is an ecological process that allows some species to establish in environments they can hardly afford in the absence of the process. This study investigated if the subcanopy of gallery-forest trees isolated in savanna is suitable for the early recruitment of forest woody species.

Diversity, structure and dynamics of a gallery forest in central Brazil
Vegetatio, 1995The structure and dynamics of approximately 64 ha of undisturbed gallery forest were studied over six years. Trees from 31 cm gbh (c. 10 cm dbh) were measured every three years from 1985. They were in 151 (10×20 m) permanent plots in the Gama forest in the Federal District of Brazil.

Germinable soil seed bank of a gallery forest in Brazilian Cerrado
Plant Ecology, 2006The soil seed bank is a dynamic biotic component of plant communities that represents the population’s memory in relation to selective events. Few studies have investigated the natural stock of germinable seeds in the gallery forests to evaluate their regeneration potential, although they are target of anthropogenic action.
