Contrasting Seasonal Variation of Photosynthesis in Evergreen and Deciduous Tree Species From a Tropical Forest. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Microclimate differences in water availability can drive seasonal water use and photosynthetic variation among co‐occurring tropical tree species, especially in forests with strongly seasonal climates. We studied a tropical forest site in the Western Ghats, India, and characterised seasonal differences in photosynthetic CO2 assimilation rates (

Pest categorisation of Diaprepes abbreviatus
Abstract The EFSA Panel on Plant Health performed a pest categorisation of the citrus root weevil Diaprepes abbreviatus (L.) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) for the European Union (EU) following the commodity risk assessment of Ligustrum delavayanum topiary grafted on L. japonicum plants from the UK in which D.

Alternative plant protection strategies for tomorrow's coffee
Innovations in pest and disease control for future coffee production are reviewed with spotlight on the use of RNA interference, agroforestry systems and biological control agents. Abstract Continuous pesticide usage has negative impacts on people and ecosystems associated with coffee farms.

Benin is not a big forest country, and the sustainable management of forest relics and their resources is a priority for the managers. This study was conducted in the forest regions of Pobè and Kétou located in Southeast Benin with the objective of characterizing the ethnobotanical forest species prioritized by the local populations for their different

The role of species interactions for forest resilience to drought
Species interactions play a crucial role during and after drought events in forests by modulating transpirational responses of different tree species. ABSTRACT Increasing durations and frequencies of droughts under climate change endanger the sustainable functioning of forests worldwide.

Smallholder farms that transition to organic and biodiverse production are increasingly recognized as strongholds of agrobiodiversity. Yet the emergent herbaceous communities in these organic systems remain understudied, with the functional diversity and management of this stratum relatively unknown.

Abstract Large‐seeded, animal‐dispersed (LSAD) trees include some of the most valuable and threatened species in the tropics, but they are chronically underrepresented in regenerating forests. Toucans disperse many LSAD species, so attracting toucans to regenerating forests should help re‐establish more diverse tree communities.

Remnant trees and forest fragments in agricultural landscapes can be important sources of propagules to facilitate forest recovery. However, many studies simply quantify forest cover in the surrounding landscape as a percentage, with little attention given to species composition, and subsequently fail to detect an effect on recruitment patterns.

Under favourable conditions, secondary rainforest recovered similar levels of species richness and key traits of old‐growth forest dung beetle communities. The carrion beetle community did not recover as well as the dung beetle community, and overall abundance was a third lower in naturally regenerating secondary forest compared with old growth ...
