Securing tropical forest carbon: the contribution of protected areas to REDD [PDF]

, 2010
Forest loss and degradation in the tropics contribute 6-17% of all greenhouse gas emissions. Protected areas cover 217.2 million ha (19.6%) of the world's humid tropical forests and contain c.

Synergies for Improving Oil Palm Production and Forest Conservation in Floodplain Landscapes [PDF]

, 2014
Lowland tropical forests are increasingly threatened with conversion to oil palm as global demand and high profit drives crop expansion throughout the world’s tropical regions.

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

Arboreal frogs, tank bromeliads and disturbed seasonal tropical forest [PDF]

, 2003
We investigated the relationship between arboreal frogs, tank bromeliads and landscape transformation in tropical forests of southeastern Campeche, Mexico. We surveyed frogs in six distinct habitats: slash and burn agriculture, seasonally flooded forest (

Flora of Baturité, Ceará: a Wet Island in the Brazilian Semiarid

Floresta e Ambiente, 2020
The biota of the humid mountain ranges of the Brazilian semiarid is still poorly understood. In order to fill this scientific gap, we carried out an extensive survey along altitudinal ranges (400m - 1,000 m) on both the windward and the leeward slopes of

Hydrologically transported dissolved organic carbon influences soil respiration in a tropical rainforest [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2016
To better understand the effect of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) transported by hydrological processes (rainfall, throughfall, litter leachate, and surface soil water; 0–20 cm) on soil respiration in tropical rainforests, we detected the DOC flux in ...

Parallel functional and stoichiometric trait shifts in South American and African forest communities with elevation [PDF]

, 2017
The Amazon and Congo basins are the two largest continuous blocks of tropical forest with a central role for global biogeochemical cycles and ecology. However, both biomes differ in structure and species richness and composition.

Large broad-leaved canopy of banana (Musa nana Lour.) induces dramatically high spatial–temporal variability of throughfall

Hydrology Research, 2021
Throughfall (TF) is an important water input of rainfall redistribution into floor, and its spatial–temporal variability under some species' canopies has been documented to evaluate effect on splash erosion.
