Mixed-forest species establishment in a monodominant forest in central Africa: implications for tropical forest invasibility. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 BACKGROUND: Traits of non-dominant mixed-forest tree species and their synergies for successful co-occurrence in monodominant Gilbertiodendron dewevrei forest have not yet been investigated. Here we compared the tree species diversity of the monodominant

Functional community structure of African monodominant Gilbertiodendron dewevrei forest influenced by local environmental filtering [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2017 Monodominant patches of forest dominated by Gilbertiodendron dewevrei are commonly found in central African tropical forests, alongside forests with high species diversity.

First evidence of a monodominant (Englerodendron, Amherstieae, Detarioideae, Leguminosae) tropical moist forest from the early Miocene (21.73 Ma) of Ethiopia. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2023 Many tropical wet forests are species-rich and have relatively even species frequency distributions. But, dominance by a single canopy species can also occur in tropical wet climates and can remain stable for centuries.

Properties and production potential of cambic soils on andesite rocks in beech forests on Crni Vrh near Bor [PDF]
Glasnik Šumarskog Fakulteta: Univerzitet u Beogradu, 2003 Cambic soils were studied in the mountainous beech forest (Fagetum moesiacae montanum, Jov. 1976) (Tomić, 1992) in the region of the mountainous massif Crni Vrh near Bor. The soils were researched in two sample plots.

The spatial propagation and increasing dominance of Gilbertiodendron dewevrei (Fabaceae) in the eastern Congo basin. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2023 Though substantial research has been conducted on possible historical, physiological, and symbiotic mechanisms that permit monodominance to occur within tropical lowland rainforests, less is known about the successional rates at which monodominance ...

Experimental Study on Potential Influence of the Invasive Hedychium coronarium J. König on the Evapotranspiration of Riparian Plant Community [PDF]
Plants, 2023 The balance between precipitation and evapotranspiration (ET) has direct effect on vegetation, and any change in its structure and composition can influence it. The aim of this study is to determine experimentally the daily evapotranspiration (ET) of the

Spatial Distribution and Climate Warming Impact on Abies kawakamii Forest on a Subtropical Island [PDF]
Plants, 2022 Species distribution modeling (SDM) is currently the primary tool for predicting suitable habitats for species. In this study, we used Abies kawakamii, a species endemic to Taiwan. Being the only Abies species distributed in high mountains, it acts as an

Effects of Pieris japonica (Ericaceae) dominance on cool temperate forest altered-understory environments and soil microbiomes in Southern Japan. [PDF]
PLoS ONEThe number of plants unpalatable to deer increases with increasing deer numbers. In the Kyushu Mountain area of Southern Japan, Pieris japonica (Ericaceae), an unpalatable shrub, has become the monodominant vegetation under evergreen conifer and ...
