Tree-pulling experiment: an analysis into the mechanical stability of rain trees

Trees, 2010
Tree-pulling experiments were conducted in Singapore involving 20 rain trees (Samanea saman) growing in four different soil types (1) structural soil with 80% granite chips and 20% sandy loam soil, (2) structural soil with 50% granite chips and 50% sandy loam soil, (3) in situ soil and (4) top soil.

Seed rain to tree-fall gaps in a Neotropical rain forest

Canadian Journal of Forest Research, 1990
We monitored both the seed rain and fruit production in the vicinity of four recent tree-fall gaps in the old-growth forest at the La Selva Biological Station, Costa Rica. Seeds were collected in trays of seed-sterilized soil distributed throughout the center of the gaps and left in place for 2 months; seeds were identified from seedlings that ...

RAIN FOREST FRAGMENTATION AND THE PROLIFERATION OF SUCCESSIONAL TREES

Ecology, 2006
The effects of habitat fragmentation on diverse tropical tree communities are poorly understood. Over a 20-year period we monitored the density of 52 tree species in nine predominantly successional genera (Annona, Bellucia, Cecropia, Croton, Goupia, Jacaranda, Miconia, Pourouma, Vismia) in fragmented and continuous Amazonian forests.

Fruit trees in a Malaysian rain forest

Economic Botany, 1991
An inventory was made of 50 ha of primary lowland rain forest in Peninsular Malaysia, in which ca. 340,000 trees 1 cm dbh or larger were measured and identified to species. Out of a total plot tree flora of 820 species, 76 species are known to bear edible fruit.

SYSTEMATICS AND ECOLOGY OF RAIN FOREST TREES

TAXON, 1988
SummaryThe case is made that ecological characteristics can provide valuable evidence for species delimitation in complex floras such as those of tropical rain forests. Differences between sympatric populations of morphologically similar entities in such aspects as edaphic range, reproductive phenology, pollination biology, combined with evidence for ...

Pollination success in a population of dioecious rain forest trees

Oecologia, 1993
Pollination success in female trees was determined for a population of Neolitsea dealbata (R. Br.) Merr., a locally abundant dioecious tree pollinated by small, unspecialized insects in northern Queensland rain forest, Australia. The population consisted of a clustered group of trees with a mean male-to-female distance of 4.5 m and more isolated ...
