Observed and simulated local climate responses to tropical deforestation
Environmental Research Letters, 2023 Tropical deforestation has local and regional effects on climate, but the sign and magnitude of these effects are still poorly constrained. Here we used satellite observations to evaluate the local land surface temperature and precipitation response to ...

Seasonal variation in soil and plant water potentials in a Bolivian tropical moist and dry forest [PDF]
, 2010 We determined seasonal variation in soil matric potentials (¿soil) along a topographical gradient and with soil depth in a Bolivian tropical dry (1160 mm y-1 rain) and moist forest (1580 mm y-1).

Environmental changes during secondary succession in a tropical dry forest in Mexico [PDF]
, 2011 Vegetation and environment change mutually during secondary succession, yet the idiosyncrasies of the vegetation effect on the understorey environment are poorly understood. To test whether the successional understorey environment changes predictably and
