Fire in the tropical gallery forests of Belize
Journal of Biogeography, 1997ABSTRACT. Historical records of burning, field observations, and a manipulation experiment were used to evaluate the extent and impact of fire in a system of gallery forests in the Mountain Pine Ridge savanna, Belize. The outer boundaries of gallery forests are fire‐prone zones, but fires rarely intrude into these forests.

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.

Late Holocene history of savanna gallery forest from Carimagua area, Colombia
Review of Palaeobotany and Palynology, 2000The 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.

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.

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 ...

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.

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 ...

Floristic Composition and Community Structure of a Central Brazilian Gallery Forest
Flora, 1990Summary An intensive study was made of a gallery forest near Cuiaba, State of Mato Grosso. Analysis of the vegetation on 67 plots of 30 m 2 demonstrated a great deal of heterogeneity related principally to differences in topography and drainage.

Regeneration of gallery forests of Béda by natural tree species
Pollack Periodica, 2010Instead of high value willow-poplar galleries and ash-oak-elm galleries stands of non-indigenous species are present at many sites of the flood plain of Danube in the Beda-Karapancsa Region of the Danube Drava National Park. According to the Act of Nature Conservation in Hungary minders of the territories are obligated to change non-indigenous tree ...
