Increasing turnover through time in tropical forests [PDF]
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 forest restoration: Fast resilience of plant biomass contrasts with slow recovery of stable soil C stocks [PDF]
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
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.
