Land-use dynamics influence estimates of carbon sequestration potential in tropical second-growth forest

Environmental Research Letters, 2017
Many countries have made major commitments to carbon sequestration through reforestation under the Paris Climate Agreement, and recent studies have illustrated the potential for large amounts of carbon sequestration in tropical second-growth forests ...

Spatial and temporal regeneration patterns within gaps in the primary forests vs. secondary forests of Northeast China

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023
Forest gaps play an important role during forest succession in temperate forest ecosystems. However, the differences in spatial distribution and replacement patterns of woody plants (trees and shrubs) between primary and secondary forests remain unclear ...

Biodiversity from the Sky: Testing the Spectral Variation Hypothesis in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest

Remote Sensing
Tropical forests have high species richness, being considered the most diverse and complex ecosystems in the world. Research on the variation and maintenance of biodiversity in these ecosystems is important for establishing conservation strategies.

Preliminary assessment of beetle diversity in a fragmented landscape of the Ecuadorian tropical dry forest

Revista Peruana de Biología
Landscape alterations may affect beetle assemblages wherein sensitive species can disappear, and highly adapted species populations can increase. Beetle diversity in a restored forest and cropland was assessed in the tropical dry forest of Ecuador ...

Lessons from a regional analysis of forest recovery trajectories in West Africa

Environmental Research Letters, 2022
In West Africa, very poorly documented are the recovery trajectories of secondary forests, and even less is known about the origin of the observed variability in recovery rates.

The human gut microbiome across the life course

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Despite significant individual variation and continuous change throughout life, the human gut microbiome follows some life stage‐specific trends. This article provides a brief overview of how gut microbiome composition shifts across different phases of life. Created in BioRender. Özkurt, E. (2026) https://BioRender.com/8q4nrnc.

Tropical dry forest recovery : processes and causes of change [PDF]

, 2009
Seasonally dry areas are one of the preferred zones for human inhabitance in the tropics. Large forest areas are converted to other land uses and many are covered by secondary forests that grow naturally after cessation of disturbance.

First record of Dendroctonus micans (Kugelann, 1794) on non-native spruces in Slovakia - short communication

Plant Protection Science, 2016
In 2015, we recorded the first attack of the great spruce bark beetle, Dendroctonus micans (Kugelann) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae, Scolytinae) on non-native Picea orientalis (L.) and Picea pungens (Engelmann) in Slovakia.
