The interaction between temperature and rainfall determines the probability of tropical forest fire occurrence in Hainan Island

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change
Severe forest fires have erupted in numerous tropical regions globally, threatening carbon storage in tropical ecosystems, the survival of plant species, and human health.

Multidimensional beta‐diversity across local and regional scales in a Chinese subtropical forest: The role of forest structure

Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Beta‐diversity, or the spatio‐temporal variation in community composition, can be partitioned into turnover and nestedness components in a multidimensional framework.

Seasonal variation in soil and plant water potentials in a Bolivian tropical moist and dry forest

, 2010
We determined seasonal variation in soil matric potentials (¿soil) along a topographical gradient and with soil depth in a Bolivian tropical dry (1160 mm y-1 rain) and moist forest (1580 mm y-1).

Improved timber harvest techniques maintain biodiversity in tropical forests [PDF]

, 2014
Tropical forests are selectively logged at 20 times the rate at which they are cleared, and at least a fifth have already been disturbed in this way. In a recent pan-tropical assessment, Burivalova et al.

Trophic Diversity in Duckweed: Mixotrophy, More Than the Sum of its Extremes

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In the context of rising DOC in aquatic environments, mixotrophic duckweed may impact carbon cycling by acting as either a carbon sink, as they absorb CO2 through photosynthesis, or a carbon source, as they release CO2 through respiration of absorbed DOC, which depends on DOC concentration, light availability, temperature, and other environmental ...

Extra Climate Benefits From Afforestation Due to Reduced Forest Fragmentation in China

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Afforestation in China reduced forest fragmentation in 2015, transforming 51.8 M ha of edge forests into interior forests. This enhanced carbon sequestration (1.4±0.2 Pg CO2e, a cooling biogeochemical effect), while reduced albedo (−0.9 Pg CO2e, a warming biophysical effect) partially offset the gain, yielding a net extra climate benefit of ...

Environmental changes during secondary succession in a tropical dry forest in Mexico

, 2011
Vegetation and environment change mutually during secondary succession, yet the idiosyncrasies of the vegetation effect on the understorey environment are poorly understood. To test whether the successional understorey environment changes predictably and

Evidence for strong seasonality in the carbon storage and carbon use efficiency of an Amazonian forest [PDF]

, 2014
The relative contribution of gross primary production and ecosystem respiration to seasonal changes in the net carbon flux of tropical forests remains poorly quantified by both modelling and field studies.

Multi‐Stimuli‐Responsive Hydrogen‐Bonded Organic Frameworks Nanocarriers Enable Targeted Fungicide Release and Plant Immune Regulation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A fluorinated hydrogen‐bonded organic framework nanocarrier (PFC‐1‐F) loaded with PYR and coated with HACC enables multi‐stimuli‐responsive (enzyme/ROS/pH) release at infection sites. Exhibiting targeted antifungal activity against Sclerotium rolfsii, modulating plant antioxidant defense, and demonstrating favorable biosafety across plant, soil, and ...

Measuring the conservation value of tropical primary forests : the effect of occasional species on estimates of biodiversity uniqueness [PDF]

, 2010
Background Developing effective conservation plans for multi-functional landscapes requires an accurate knowledge of the relative conservation value of different land-uses.
