Responses of leaf-litter ant communities to tropical forest wildfires vary with season [PDF]

, 2012
Fire is an important land-management tool in tropical forest landscapes. However, these fires sometimes escape into surrounding forests (Uhl & Buschbacker 1985), and are one of the most severe disturbances threatening tropical forest biodiversity (Barlow

Conserving Ecosystem Diversity in the Tropical Andes

Remote Sensing, 2022
Documenting temporal trends in the extent of ecosystems is essential to monitoring their status but combining this information with the degree of protection helps us assess the effectiveness of societal actions for conserving ecosystem diversity and related ecosystem services.

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

Organic carbon and nitrogen export from a tropical dam-impacted floodplain system [PDF]

, 2013
Tropical floodplains play an important role in organic matter transport, storage, and transformation between headwaters and oceans. However, the fluxes and quality of organic carbon (OC) and organic nitrogen (ON) in tropical river-floodplain systems are ...
