Height-diameter allometry of tropical forest trees [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Tropical tree height-diameter (H:D) relationships may vary by forest type and region making large-scale estimates of above-ground biomass subject to bias if they ignore these differences in stem allometry.

Climate seasonality limits leaf carbon assimilation and wood productivity in tropical forests [PDF]

open access: yesBiogeosciences, 2016
The seasonal climate drivers of the carbon cycle in tropical forests remain poorly known, although these forests account for more carbon assimilation and storage than any other terrestrial ecosystem. Based on a unique combination of seasonal pan-tropical

Early ecological outcomes of assisted natural regeneration are strongly site-dependent: Evidence from the Philippines

open access: yesEnvironmental Challenges
Assisted natural regeneration (ANR) offers a promising strategy to restore native vegetation after deforestation or severe degradation. However, limited studies have evaluated its ecological impacts, especially across growth stages and incorporating ...

Focus on tropical dry forest ecosystems and ecosystem services in the face of global change

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters, 2018
Tropical dry forests are distinct from wet and moist tropical forests by the presence of a strong dry season. This collection of papers explores the unique biodiversity, plant functional traits, coupling between carbon and water cycles, and threats to ...

Bibliometric and literature synthesis on assisted natural regeneration: an evidence base for forest and landscape restoration in the tropics

open access: yesFrontiers in Forests and Global Change
Assisted Natural Regeneration (ANR) is a set of restoration strategies and interventions primarily based on natural regeneration, aimed at accelerating succession and providing multiple benefits in degraded ecosystems and landscapes.

Assisted natural regeneration for tropical forest and landscape restoration in the Philippines: Implementation, motivations, challenges and future directions

open access: yesTrees, Forests and People
Forest degradation and deforestation in the rural uplands of the Philippines threaten biodiversity, ecological functions, and local livelihoods. To address these issues, various Forest and Landscape Restoration (FLR) initiatives have been introduced ...

Mapping Canopy Heights in Dense Tropical Forests Using Low-Cost UAV-Derived Photogrammetric Point Clouds and Machine Learning Approaches

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2021
Tropical forests are a key component of the global carbon cycle and climate change mitigation. Field- or LiDAR-based approaches enable reliable measurements of the structure and above-ground biomass (AGB) of tropical forests.

An adapted typology of tree-related microhabitats including tropical forests

open access: yesEcological Indicators
Tree-related microhabitats (TreMs) describe the microhabitats that a tree can provide for a multitude of other taxonomic groups and have been proposed as an important indicator for forest biodiversity.

The economic value of tropical forests in meeting global climate stabilization goals

open access: yesGlobal Sustainability, 2021
Conserving tropical forests has many benefits, from protecting biodiversity, sustaining indigenous and local communities, and safeguarding climate. To achieve the ambitious climate goals of the Paris Agreement, forest protection is essential.
