DIOECISM IN TROPICAL FOREST TREES [PDF]

open access: yesEvolution, 1975
The existence of dioecism among angiosperms is universally acknowledged, yet is poorly understood both from the ecological and evolutionary points of view. The reason for this hiatus might be that some have believed the relative proportion of dioecious taxa to be low (Yamplosky and Yamplosky, 1922; Lewis, 1942), while others have felt that since the ...

Simulating carbon stocks and fluxes of an African tropical montane forest with an individual-based forest model. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS 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

Dead Wood Necromass in a Moist Tropical Forest : Stocks, Fluxes, and Spatiotemporal Variability [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Woody debris (WD) stocks and fluxes are important components of forest carbon budgets and yet remain understudied, particularly in tropical forests. Here we present the most comprehensive assessment of WD stocks and fluxes yet conducted in a tropical ...
