Population dynamics of canopy trees in New Caledonian rain forests: are monodominantNothofagus(Nothofagaceae) forests successional to mixed rain forests?

Journal of Tropical Ecology, 2013
Abstract:In New Caledonia, rain forests with an upper canopy dominated by single species ofNothofagusoccur next to mixed-canopy forests, without discernible environmental cause. A potential explanation is that they are different successional stages. To test this hypothesis and predict long-term change in canopy dominance, population size structures of ...

Foliar and wood traits covary along a vertical gradient within the crown of long-lived light-demanding species of the Congo Basin semi-deciduous forest [PDF]

, 2019
Plant functional traits have shown to be relevant predictors of forest functional responses to climate change. However, the trait-based approach to study plant performances and ecological strategies has mostly been focused on trait comparisons at the ...

Human and Environmental Factors Shape Tree Species Assemblages in West African Tropical Forests

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 31, Issue 8, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim This study investigated how human activities and local environmental variables shape tree assemblages (species composition in a defined location), comparing their effects on edible and inedible tree species. Three hypotheses were tested: (1) Environmental filtering impacts spatial beta‐diversity more than dispersal limitation; (2) human ...

The history of Austrian pine plantations in Hungary [PDF]

, 2003
In Hungary the first experimental stands of Austrian pine (Pinus nigra Arn.) were planted at the end of the 19th century. In the beginning, soil preservation purposes dominated, later, in the 1950s and 70s, wood production received more attention ...

Eight basic principles for the elaboration of public policies and development projects for the Pantanal

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 7, Issue 7, July 2025.
The Pantanal is facing the challenge of preparing public policies at federal and state levels, but there is the need of a conceptual basis to support this process. This article prepared a list of eight main principles to be considered by legislators and decision‐makers, aiming to ensure proper protection and management strategies provided by the public

Forest structure, floristic composition and soils of an Amazonian monodominant forest on maracá Island, Roraima, Brazil

Edinburgh Journal of Botany, 2010
Maracá is a riverine island located in the Rio Uraricoera in Roraima State (Brazil) and has an area of about 100,000ha. A forest type dominated by Peltogyne gracilipes Ducke (Caesalpiniaceae) occurs on Maracá Island on a range of soil types. This study compares the structure, floristic composition and soils of the Peltogyne forest with the most ...

Specialization on bamboo by Neotropical birds [PDF]

, 2013
Ornithologists have long marveled at the many species of neotropical forest birds found in close association with woody bamboos (Poaceae: Bambuseae). Over 400 species of woody bamboos occur in the neotropics, a total second only to southeast Asia, which ...

Mapping ecological corridors in the Upper Paraguay River Basin, Brazil: Applications for sustainability, public policy and decision‐making

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 7, Issue 7, July 2025.
We identified and mapped ecological corridors on a regional scale for the entire upper paragauai basin, which is one of the largest basins in Brazil. Our results were an extensive network of corridors across the basin, as well as identifying areas for better connectivity.
