Leaf herbivory on three tree species in a monodominant and two other Terra firme forests on Maracá Island, Brazil [PDF]

Acta Amazonica, 2001
The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that the monodominant non-pioneer Peltogyne gracilipes, typically does not suffer density-dependent herbivory (Janzen-Connell model).

Distribution, ecology and biology of Sparganium hyperboreum (Typhaceae) in Western Siberia

Трансформация экосистем, 2022
Geographical analysis has shown that Sparganium hyperboreum is most widespread in the forest-tundra and in the subarctic tundra subzone. In Western Siberia, this species grows in low and slightly mineralized and slightly acidic/neutral/slightly alkaline

Chuva de sementes em uma floresta monodominante de Brosimum rubescens Taub. e em uma floresta mista adjacente no Vale do Araguaia, MT, Brasil Seed rain in a monodominant Brosimum rubescens Taub. forest and an adjacent mixed forest in the Araguaia River Valley, Mato Grosso State, Brazil

Acta Botânica Brasílica, 2006
Manchas de Floresta monodominante de Brosimum rubescens ocorrem no ecótono entre o Cerrado e a Floresta Amazônica e encontram-se ameaçadas. Efetuou-se um estudo da chuva de sementes em duas porções de uma floresta monodominante de B.

An ectomycorrhizal nitrogen economy facilitates monodominance in a neotropical forest

Ecology Letters, 2016
AbstractTropical forests are renowned for their high diversity, yet in many sites a single tree species accounts for the majority of the individuals in a stand. An explanation for these monodominant forests remains elusive, but may be linked to mycorrhizal symbioses.

Do bird communities of neotropical monodominant forests have their own identity? The case of Eremanthus erythropappus forests

CERNE, 2022
Background Monodominant Eremanthus erythropappus forests are dispersed in neotropical montane regions of southeastern and northeastern Brazil, forming ecotonal areas among other high altitude phytophysiognomies, with no information from their fauna communities and how these communities vary between phytophysiognomies adjacent.

Canopy Ant Assemblage (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) in Two Vegetation Formations in the Northern Brazilian Pantanal

Sociobiology, 2018
The landscape of the northern Pantanal region is a mosaic of fields and forests, distributed according to topography and hydrology of this floodplain, resulting in a particular pattern of vegetation distribution. Among the forest formations, mixedspecies

Reconciling biodiversity and carbon stock conservation in an Afrotropical forest landscape [PDF]

, 2018
Protecting aboveground carbon stocks in tropical forests is essential for mitigating global climate change and is assumed to simultaneously conserve biodiversity.

How tightly linked are Pericopsis elata (Fabaceae) patches to anthropogenic disturbances in Southeastern Cameroon? [PDF]

, 2015
While most past studies have emphasized the relationships between specific forest stands and edaphic factors, recent observations in Central African moist forests suggested that an increase of slash-and-burn agriculture since 3000–2000 BP (Before Present)

Soil water-holding capacity and monodominance in Southern Amazon tropical forests [PDF]

Plant and Soil, 2019
Background and aims: We explored the hypothesis that low soil water-holding capacity is the main factor driving the monodominance of Brosimum rubescens in a monodominant forest in Southern Amazonia. Tropical monodominant forests are rare ecosystems with low diversity and high dominance of a single tree species. The causes of this atypical condition are

The structure of stands from different subassociations of a monodominant sessile oak forest (Quercetum petraeae Čer. et Jov. 1953.) in the area of northeastern Serbia before and after regeneration [PDF]

Glasnik Šumarskog Fakulteta: Univerzitet u Beogradu, 2019
This paper presents the structure of well-preserved, mature stands of seed origin and young stands that followed either after planned regeneration or spontaneously in the understory reinitiation stage, in monodominant sessile oak forests ...
