Estimating tropical forest biomass with a combination of SAR image texture and Landsat TM data:an assessment of predictions between regions [PDF]

, 2012
Quantifying the above ground biomass of tropical forests is critical for understanding the dynamics of carbon fluxes between terrestrial ecosystems and the atmosphere, as well as monitoring ecosystem responses to environmental change.

Nitrogen and Phosphorus Control Soil Methane Uptake in Tropical Montane Forests [PDF]

, 2021
Tropical forests contribute about one third to global annual CH4 uptake by soils. Understanding the factors that control the soil‐atmosphere exchange of CH4 at a large scale is a critical step to improve the CH4 flux estimate for tropical soils, which is

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

GCB 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.

The complete chloroplast genome of Androsace erecta (Primulaceae) and its phylogenetic implication

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2021
With about 153 species, the genus Androsace (Primulaceae) is known for its horticultural and economic importance. In this study, we report the complete chloroplast genome of Androsace erecta Maximowicz, a morphologically distinct species of Sect ...

Solarization of nursery soil induces production of fruit bodies of mushrooms and enhances growth of tropi-cal forest tree seedlings

Annals of Forest Research, 2013
The aim of this work was to find out the effect of soil solarization on microbial population and its effect on growth of two species of tropical forest trees.

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

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

Frontiers 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.

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 ...

Global tropical dry forest extent and cover: A comparative study of bioclimatic definitions using two climatic data sets.

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 ...
