Tropical forests and global atmospheric change: a synthesis [PDF]
, 2004 We present a personal perspective on the highlights of the Theme Issue 'Tropical forests and global atmospheric change'. We highlight the key findings on the contemporary rate of climatic change in the tropics, the evidence--gained from field studies--of

Ecological stoichiometry of the epiphyte community in a subtropical forest canopy
Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Epiphytes in tree canopies make a considerable contribution to the species diversity, aboveground biomass, and nutrient pools in forest ecosystems. However, the nutrient status of epiphytes and their possible adaptations to nutrient deficiencies in the ...

Diversity did not influence soil water use of tree clusters in a temperate mixed forest [PDF]
Web Ecology, 2013 Compared to monocultures, diverse ecosystems are often expected to show more comprehensive resource use. However, with respect to diversity–soil-water-use relationships in forests, very little information is available. We analysed soil water uptake

Carbon pools recover more rapidly than plant biodiversity in secondary tropical forests [PDF]
, 2012 Both REDD+ and the Convention on Biological Diversity aim to enhance carbon stocks and biodiversity through tropical forest restoration. However, we lack evidence of the effectiveness of such management. Using data from tropical forest chronosequence and

Multidimensional tropical forest recovery
Science, 2021 Resilient secondary tropical forests? Although deforestation is rampant across the tropics, forest has a strong capacity to regrow on abandoned lands. These “secondary” forests may increasingly play important roles in biodiversity conservation, climate change mitigation, and landscape restoration. Poorter

Are we using the most appropriate methodologies to assess the sensitivity of rainforest biodiversity to habitat disturbance? [PDF]
, 2018 Accurately assessing how biodiversity responds in the Anthropocene is vital. To do so, a number of indicator taxa are commonly used to monitor human-impacted forests and the subsequent recovery of their biodiversity.

Nest predation in Afrotropical forest fragments shaped by inverse edge effects, timing of nest initiation and vegetation structure [PDF]
, 2014 High levels of nest predation influence the population dynamics of many tropical birds, especially when deforestation alters nest predator communities. The consequences of tropical forest fragmentation on nest predation, however, remain poorly understood,

PLoS ONE, 2021 There is a debate concerning the definition and extent of tropical dry forest biome and vegetation type at a global spatial scale. We identify the potential extent of the tropical dry forest biome based on bioclimatic definitions and climatic data sets ...
