Demography and biomass change in monodominant and mixed old-growth forest of the Congo
Journal of Tropical Ecology, 2011Abstract:Mbau forest covers much of the Congo, and shifts in its composition could have a large impact on the African tropics. The Ituri forest in east Congo is near a boundary between the monodominant mbau type and non-mbau mixed forest, and two 20-ha censuses of trees ≥ 1 cm diameter were carried out over 12 y to monitor forest change.

Leaf Litter Decomposition and Monodominance in the Peltogyne Forest of Maracá Island, Brazil1
BIOTROPICA, 2002ABSTRACTThe forest type dominated byPeltogyne gracilipes(Caesalpiniaceae) on the riverine Marací Island is the least speciesrich of any recorded for Brazilian Amazonia. Because the forest has high soil and foliar Mg concentrations, and Mg is known to be toxic to plant growth at high concentrations, this study tested the hypothesis that dominance ...

Seed, seedling and sub-canopy survival in monodominant and mixed forests of the Ituri Forest, Africa
Journal of Tropical Ecology, 1995ABSTRACTThe central Ituri Forest of Zaïre is characterized by monodominant stands ofGilbert-iodendron dewevrei(mbau forest) within a matrix of mixed forest whereJulbernardia seretiiis subdominant. Both species produce supra-annual, synchronous (mast) seed crops.

Monodominant and Species-Rich Forests of the Humid Tropics: Causes for Their Co-Occurrence
The American Naturalist, 1989A study of the structure and floristics at a transition zone from a monodominant to a more diverse forest in the African humid tropics was conducted to elucidate the mechanisms maintaining floristic diversity and the discontinuity between mixed forests and forests dominated by a single tree species (monodominant).

Defoliation of a monodominant rain-forest tree by a noctuid moth in Gabon
Journal of Tropical Ecology, 2004Relatively little is known of the relationships between many lepidopteran species and their larval food plants in tropical rain forests, compared with temperate ecosystems. Species are often known only from the adult form, and the larvae and aspects of ecology, host plant, etc. are unknown (Williams 1971).
