Subtropical high-montane forest climate refuges in Brazil

Scientia Agricola, 2023
ABSTRACT Climate change represents one of the greatest threats to global biodiversity. We investigate how climate change will affect the future potential distribution of tree species in subtropical high montane habitats in the Atlantic Forest and identify potential climate refuges for these species.

The 2010 spring drought reduced primary productivity in southwestern China [PDF]

, 2012
Many parts of the world experience frequent and severe droughts. Summer drought can significantly reduce primary productivity and carbon sequestration capacity. The impacts of spring droughts, however, have received much less attention.

Feeding spectra and activity of the freshwater crab Trichodactylus kensleyi (Decapoda: Brachyura: Trichodactylidae) at La Plata basin [PDF]

, 2014
Background: In inland water systems, it is important to characterize the trophic links in order to identify the ‘trophic species’ and, from the studies of functional diversity, understand the dynamics of matter and energy in these environments.

Germination responses to light of four Neotropical forest tree species along an elevational gradient in the southern Central Andes [PDF]

, 2020
Seed germination is a key part of plants' life cycle and is mostly affected by the genetic background, the environmental conditions experienced by the mother plant and the seedbed conditions.

Selecting Tropical and Subtropical Tree Species for Wind Resistance

EDIS, 2007
FOR-120, a 13-page full color fact sheet by Mary L. Duryea and Eliana Kampf, is part of the Urban Forest Hurricane Recovery Program series. It presents the research and methodology that lead to lists of relative wind resistance for tropical and ...

Species-specific relationships between net primary productivity and forest age for subtropical China [PDF]

Biogeosciences
The relationship between net primary productivity (NPP) and forest age varies among forest species, yet there were no available NPP–age relationships established for various forest species in subtropical China for use in forest carbon modeling.

Nest niche overlap among the endangered Vinaceous-breasted Parrot (Amazona vinacea) and sympatric cavity-using birds, mammals, and social insects in the subtropical Atlantic Forest, Argentina [PDF]

, 2017
Many forest bird species require tree cavities for nesting, and share this resource with a diverse community of animals. When cavities are limited, niche overlap can result in interspecific competition, with negative consequences for threatened ...

Infection mechanism of Botryosphaeria dothidea and the disease resistance strategies of Chinese hickory (Carya cathayensis)

BMC Plant Biology
Botryosphaeria dothidea is the main fungal pathogen responsible for causing Chinese hickory (Carya cathayensis) dry rot disease, posing a serious threat to the Chinese hickory industry. Understanding the molecular basis of B.

Host plant diversity and potential habitat prediction of Korthalsella japonica (Thunb.) Engl. in Jeju Island, South Korea

Journal of Ecology and Environment
Background: Parasitic mistletoes infect a wide range of host plants, and when infestation density is high, they alter host resource allocation and canopy structure, thereby affecting ecosystem components including light regimes and understory vegetation.

Biodiversity Promotes Tree Growth during Succession in Subtropical Forest

PLoS ONE, 2013
يمكن أن تؤثر خسائر تنوع الأنواع النباتية على أداء النظام الإيكولوجي، حيث يكون انخفاض الإنتاجية الأولية هو التأثير الأكثر تكرارًا في التجمعات النباتية التجريبية، بما في ذلك مزارع الأشجار. لا يُعرف سوى القليل عن دور التنوع البيولوجي في النظم الإيكولوجية الطبيعية، بما في ذلك الغابات، على الرغم من أهميتها بالنسبة للدورات الكيميائية الحيوية والمناخ العالمي.
