Biodiversity shapes tree species aggregations in tropical forests [PDF]
, 2008 Spatial patterns of conspecific trees are considered as the consequences of biological interactions and environmental influences. They also reflect species interactions in plant communities.

Understanding the importance of primary tropical forest protection as a mitigation strategy
Mitigation and Adaptation Strategies for Global Change, 2020 Given the short time-frame to limit global warming, and the current emissions gap, it is critical to prioritise mitigation actions. To date, scant attention has been paid to the mitigation benefits of primary forest protection.

Effectiveness of protected areas in conserving tropical forest birds
Nature Communications, 2020 Protected areas (PAs) are the cornerstones of global biodiversity conservation efforts, but to fulfil this role they must be effective at conserving the ecosystems and species that occur within their boundaries.

Climatic and edaphic controls over tropical forest diversity and vegetation carbon storage
Scientific Reports, 2020 Tropical rainforests harbor exceptionally high biodiversity and store large amounts of carbon in vegetation biomass. However, regional variation in plant species richness and vegetation carbon stock can be substantial, and may be related to the ...

Tropical forest degradation in the context of climate change: increasing role and research challenges. [K-2215-01] [PDF]
, 2015 While developed countries in temperate regions faced their forest transition about 100 years ago or more, “tropical forest rich” nations still largely depend on forest resources or land clearing for their development.

Simulating carbon stocks and fluxes of an African tropical montane forest with an individual-based forest model. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Tropical forests are carbon-dense and highly productive ecosystems. Consequently, they play an important role in the global carbon cycle. In the present study we used an individual-based forest model (FORMIND) to analyze the carbon balances of a tropical

Tree Surface Temperature in a Primary Tropical Rain Forest
Atmosphere, 2020 As one of the important factors affecting plant productivity and plant distribution, temperature also affects the physiological and ecological characteristics of plants to a large extent.
