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

A Growth–Survival Trade‐Off Along an Elevation Gradient Is Altered by Earthquake Disturbance in a Monodominant Southern Beech Forest [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
Tree growth–survival relationships link two demographic processes that individually dictate the composition, structure and functioning of forest ecosystems.

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.

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 ...

Functional community structure of African monodominant Gilbertiodendron dewevrei forest influenced by local environmental filtering

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.

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

Floristic and structural distinctness of monodominant Gilbertiodendron dewevrei forest in the western Congo Basin [PDF]

Plant Ecology and Evolution
Background and aims – The forests of the Congo Basin contain high levels of biodiversity, and are globally important for carbon storage. In order to design effective conservation strategies, and to accurately model carbon stocks, a fine-scale ...

Effect of mycorrhizae on aboveground biomass in monodominant Gilbertiodendron dewevrei and mixed species forests in a tropical rainforests of the Congo Basin

Scientific African
The mechanisms underlying the relationship between aboveground biomass and mycorrhizal intensity are poorly documented in tropical forests. This study assesses the influence of mycorrhizae on aboveground biomass (AGB) in two adjacent mixed species ...

Monodominance of Calophyllum brasiliense (Calophyllaceae) in hygrophilous rainforest stands in NE Corrientes (Argentina)

Bonplandia, 2023
Hygrophilous forests are tree dominated formations in periodically or permanently waterlogged environments. The species composition, phytosociological structure and tree diversity of hygrophilous forest stands located in Puerto Valle, in the northeast of
