Tropical Dry Forest Resilience to Fire Depends on Fire Frequency and Climate

, 2021
Wildfires are becoming increasingly frequent and devastating in many tropical forests. Although seasonally dry tropical forests (SDTF) are among the most fire-threatened ecosystems, their long-term response to frequent wildfires remains largely unknown.

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

Scientific 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 ...

Patterns of Water and Heat Flux Across a Biome Gradient From Tropical Forest to Savanna in Brazil [PDF]

, 2009
We investigated the seasonal patterns of water vapor and sensible heat flux along a tropical biome gradient from forest to savanna. We analyzed data from a network of flux towers in Brazil that were operated within the Large-Scale Biosphere-Atmosphere ...

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.
