Rarity of monodominance in hyperdiverse Amazonian forests. [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2019
Tropical forests are known for their high diversity. Yet, forest patches do occur in the tropics where a single tree species is dominant. Such "monodominant" forests are known from all of the main tropical regions. For Amazonia, we sampled the occurrence

Soil does not explain monodominance in a Central African tropical forest.

PLoS ONE, 2011
BackgroundSoil characteristics have been hypothesised as one of the possible mechanisms leading to monodominance of Gilbertiodendron dewerei in some areas of Central Africa where higher-diversity forest would be expected. However, the differences in soil

Ecological and structural characteristics of monodominant montane beech forests in the National park Biogradska Gora, Montenegro [PDF]

Archives of Biological Sciences, 2011
Due to their extraordinary diversity and high level of conservation, the forest ecosystems of Biogradska Gora undoubtedly fall under the most significant forest objects.

Ecosystem consequences of tree monodominance for nitrogen cycling in lowland tropical forest.

PLoS ONE, 2013
Understanding how plant functional traits shape nutrient limitation and cycling on land is a major challenge in ecology. This is especially true for lowland forest ecosystems of the tropics which can be taxonomically and functionally diverse and rich in ...

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 ...

Mapping of Monodominant Gilbertiodendron dewevrei Forest Across the Western Congo Basin Using Sentinel-2 Imagery

Remote Sensing
Tropical rainforests are complex mosaics of different forests types, each with its own biodiversity and structure. Efforts to characterize and map diversity and composition of tropical forests are vital at both local and larger scales in order to improve

Congo Basin Carbon Cycle Responses to Global Change. [PDF]

Glob Chang Biol
Understanding the resilience of the Congo Basin carbon cycle in the face of current and future pressures requires a detailed understanding of its response to past and present drivers of change. Building on a pantropical framework of drivers and possible regional mechanisms for resilience, this review provides the first comprehensive assessment of Congo

Soil carbon:nitrogen ratios explain successional trajectories in the mycorrhizal makeup of south-temperate humid forests. [PDF]

Ecology
Abstract Clarifying the determinants of environmental partitioning between ectomycorrhizal (ECM) and arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) associations may inform predictions of the effects of climate change on global vegetation patterns, nutrient cycling, and carbon storage in forest ecosystems.

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

Bird Community in Rupestrian Fields from an Ecotone

Biodiversidade Brasileira, 2021
The Brazilian territory has the second largest diversity of bird species on the planet. However human actions have significantly influenced mountain environments which house the main Brazilian endangered birds. Therefore, the objective of this study was
