Spatiotemporal changes in biomass after selective logging in a lowland tropical rainforest in peninsular Malaysia [PDF]
, 2021 We studied biomass changes in a lowland tropical rain forest in the Pasoh Forest Reserve of Peninsular Malaysia after selective logging in 1958. A tree census was undertaken every 2 years from 1998 to 2012 in a 6-ha logged forest plot.

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.

Remote Sensing, 2023 Tropical dry forest is one of the most threatened ecosystems, and it is disappearing at an alarming rate. Shifting cultivation is commonly cited as a driver of tropical dry forest loss, although it helps to maintain the forest coverage but with less ...

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

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.

Degradation and forgone removals increase the carbon impact of intact forest loss by 626% [PDF]
, 2019 Intact tropical forests, free from substantial anthropogenic influence, store and sequester large amounts of atmospheric carbon but are currently neglected in international climate policy.
