Rainforest transformation reallocates energy from green to brown food webs

Nature
Terrestrial animal biodiversity is increasingly being lost because of land-use change1,2. However, functional and energetic consequences aboveground and belowground and across trophic levels in megadiverse tropical ecosystems remain largely unknown.

Rainforest-to-pasture conversion stimulates soil methanogenesis across the Brazilian Amazon

The ISME Journal, 2020
The Amazon rainforest is a biodiversity hotspot and large terrestrial carbon sink threatened by agricultural conversion. Rainforest-to-pasture conversion stimulates the release of methane, a potent greenhouse gas.

The ‘cultured rainforests’ of Borneo [PDF]

Quaternary International, 2017
Borneo has a 50,000-year record of Homo sapiens' interactions with rainforest on the coastal lowlands assembled especially by the interdisciplinary investigation of the archaeology and palaeoecology of the Niah Caves on the coastal plain of Sarawak (Barker et al., 2007; Barker, 2013). More recent work by many of the same team in the interior of Borneo,

Contrasting spatial variations between above and below-ground net primary productivity in global grasslands

Ecological Indicators
Grassland net primary productivity (NPP) plays a crucial role in global terrestrial carbon cycle and carbon balance. However, the spatial pattern and influencing factors of NPP and its components, especially the belowground net primary productivity (BNPP)

A Review of Disturbances to the Ecosystems of the Mexican Caribbean, Their Causes and Consequences

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022
In a relatively short timescale (less than 50 years), urbanization has caused many anthropogenic disturbances that have affected ecosystem health and, directly or indirectly, quality of life for the local human population.
