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 ...

Tropical Dry Forest Dynamics Explained by Topographic and Anthropogenic Factors: A Case Study in Mexico

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 ...

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

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.

Canopy temperature variability in a tropical rainforest, subtropical evergreen forest, and savanna forest in Southwest China

iForest - Biogeosciences and Forestry, 2017
Canopy temperature (Tc) measurements with infrared thermometry have been widely used to assess plant water status. Here, we evaluated Tc and its controlling factors in a primary tropical rainforest (TRF), subtropical evergreen broad-leaved forest (STF ...

Patterns of Water and Heat Flux Across a Biome Gradient From Tropical Forest to Savanna in Brazil [PDF]

, 2009
We investigated the seasonal patterns of water vapor and sensible heat flux along a tropical biome gradient from forest to savanna. We analyzed data from a network of flux towers in Brazil that were operated within the Large-Scale Biosphere-Atmosphere ...

Environmental filtering structures tree functional traits combination and lineages across space in tropical tree assemblages

Scientific Reports, 2017
Environmental filtering consistently shapes the functional and phylogenetic structure of species across space within diverse forests. However, poor descriptions of community functional and lineage distributions across space hamper the accurate ...

Scale-dependent contribution of host-specificity and environmental factors to wood-boring longhorn beetle community assemblage in SW China

Scientific Reports, 2021
Longhorn beetles are extremely rich wood-boring insects possessing larvae that feed on the xylem of trees and/or lianas, which have detrimental effects on plants; in turn, the hosting plants may play a fundamental role in shaping the longhorn beetle ...
