Soil viruses drive carbon turnover during subtropical secondary forest succession [PDF]
IntroductionSoil viruses are increasingly recognized as key regulators of microbial ecology and ecosystem function, yet their roles in forest ecosystems, particularly during natural secondary succession, remain largely unexplored.MethodsWe examined soil ...

Diversity and composition of Amazonian moths in primary, secondary and plantation forests. [PDF]
The response of tropical fauna to landscape-level habitat change is poorly understood. Increased conversion of native primary forest to alternative land-uses, including secondary forest and exotic tree plantations, highlights the importance of assessing ...

Large-vertebrate assemblages of primary and secondary forests in the Brazilian Amazon. [PDF]
Secondary forests account for 40% of all tropical forests yet little is known regarding their suitability as habitat for diurnal large mammals and game birds. This is especially so for second-growth that develops on large areas of degraded land.
