Decadal survival of tropical pioneer seeds in the soil seed bank is accompanied by fungal infection and dormancy release

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 6, Page 1483-1494, June 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Pioneer trees require high‐light environments for successful seedling establishment. Consequently, seeds of these species often persist in the soil seed bank (SSB) for periods ranging from several weeks to decades.

Geographical ecology of dry forest tree communities in the West Indies

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 45, Issue 5, Page 1168-1181, May 2018., 2018
Abstract Aim Seasonally dry tropical forest (SDTF) of the Caribbean Islands (primarily West Indies) is floristically distinct from Neotropical SDTF in Central and South America. We evaluate whether tree species composition was associated with climatic gradients or geographical distance.

Impact of land conservation status on soil functionality in degraded versus old‐growth forest in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest biome

Biological Diversity, Volume 2, Issue 1, Page 14-27, March 2025.
Preserved forests of Ocotea porosa exhibited improved soil functionality with higher levels of soil organic matter (6.56%), exchangeable cations (e.g., Ca2+ at 3.87 cmolc kg−1), and enhanced physical properties, such as soil aggregation, than degraded forests in the Atlantic Forest biome.

Forest Structure and the Species Composition of the Parque Estadual Mata Atlântica, Located in Goiás State, Brazil

International Journal of Ecology, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018
The Parque Estadual Mata Atlântica (PEMA), Goiás state, Brazil, is an Atlantic Forest reserve which has not been studied yet. The aims were to investigate plant biodiversity and characterize the flora to support the management plan. We adopt the point‐centered quarter method to inventory the tree‐shrub and lianas with the diameter at breast height more

Multiple Anthropogenic and Climatic Factors Drive Tree Species Attributes in Ecologically Distinct Sacred Groves in Ghana

International Journal of Forestry Research, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Sacred groves are rich biodiversity hotspots serving as an important habitat for conserving species and providing ecosystem goods and services to meet societal needs. Despite the benefits these sacred groves offer, they are threatened by anthropogenic stressors coupled with climate change impacts, thereby limiting their maximum ability to offer ...

Bird perches and artificial bat roosts increase seed rain and seedling establishment in tropical bracken‐dominated deforested areas

Restoration Ecology, Volume 32, Issue 7, September 2024.
Tropical forests are being reduced by human activities. The use of fire for agricultural expansion generates areas dominated by the bracken fern Pteridium, where forest regeneration is slow. This may be caused by seed limitation, especially of animal‐dispersed seeds, due to the absence of seed dispersers from the forest in deforested areas, calling for
