Increasing turnover through time in tropical forests [PDF]

open access: yes, 1994
Tree turnover rates were assessed at 40 tropical forest sites. Averaged across inventoried forests, turnover, as measured by tree mortality and recruitment, has increased since the 1950's, with an apparent pantropical acceleration since 1980.

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

open access: yesRemote 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 filtering structures tree functional traits combination and lineages across space in tropical tree assemblages

open access: yesScientific 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 ...

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

open access: yesiForest - 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 ...

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

open access: yesScientific 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 ...

Tropical forest restoration: Fast resilience of plant biomass contrasts with slow recovery of stable soil C stocks [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Due to intensifying human disturbance, over half of the world's tropical forests are reforested or afforested secondary forests or plantations. Understanding the resilience of carbon (C) stocks in these forests, and estimating the extent to which they ...

Impacts of monoculture cropland to alley cropping agroforestry conversion on soil N2O emissions

open access: yesGCB Bioenergy, 2023
Monoculture croplands are a major source of global anthropogenic emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O), a potent greenhouse gas that contributes to ozone depletion. Agroforestry has the potential to reduce N2O emissions.

Diversity and metabolic potentials of microbial communities associated with pollinator and cheater fig wasps in fig-fig wasp mutualism system

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Microbial symbionts can influence a myriad of insect behavioral and physiological traits. However, how microbial communities may shape or be shaped by insect interactions with plants and neighboring species remains underexplored.
