Pl@ntWood: A computer-assisted identification tool for 110 species of Amazon trees based on wood anatomy [PDF]
, 2009 World interest in conservation of tropical forests has increased due to elevated rates of deforestation and climate change issues. Tropical forests are threatened by extensive agriculture and timber trade among other factors; thus, sustainable management

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 ...

Tree diversity and carbon storage cobenefits in tropical human‐dominated landscapes
Conservation Letters, 2020 A lack of spatial congruence between carbon storage and biodiversity in intact forests suggests limited cobenefits of carbon‐focused policies for conserving tropical biodiversity.

Environmental Research Letters, 2021 Disturbed African tropical forests and woodlands have the potential to contribute to climate change mitigation. Therefore, there is a need to understand how carbon stocks of disturbed and recovering tropical forests are determined by environmental ...

Agribusiness, EarlyView.Abstract Nucleus outgrower schemes are contractual arrangements where well‐resourced large‐scale farmers (nucleus farmers) are empowered by development support agencies to take charge of smallholder farmers, by providing them with market access and the necessary training on agronomic practices and farm inputs for production.

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,

, 2013 Following large-scale human or natural disturbances, the regeneration of tropical forests follows a progression of stages through which forest assemblages gradually become enriched with species and increase in structural and functional complexity. Successional pathways and rates of change vary widely according to the nature of prior land use, the ...

Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.This work investigates the optimal initial data size for surrogate‐based active learning in functional material optimization. Using factorization machine (FM)‐based quadratic unconstrained binary optimization (QUBO) surrogates and averaged piecewise linear regression, we show that adequate initial data accelerates convergence, enhances efficiency, and ...

Reviews and syntheses: Field data to benchmark the carbon cycle models for tropical forests [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2017 For more accurate projections of both the global carbon (C) cycle and the changing climate, a critical current need is to improve the representation of tropical forests in Earth system models.

A Reply to Verbeeck and Kearsley: Addressing the Challenges of Including lianas in Global Vegetation Models [PDF]
, 2016 Verbeeck and Kearsley (1) rightfully point out that global vegetation models would greatly benefit from implicitly including the effects of lianas. Recent experimental evidence that lianas substantially reduce the capacity of tropical forests to uptake ...
