Distinct bacterial communities in tropical island aquifers. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2020 The groundwater biome is a poorly characterized habitat hypothesized to harbor uniquely diverse bacterial communities; the degree to which these communities differ from associated soils is a central question in environmental microbiology. We characterized the Bacterial community composition in 37 aquifer and 32 surface soil samples across the island of

Assessment of Secondary Sulfate Aqueous-Phase Formation Pathways in the Tropical Island City of Haikou: A Chemical Kinetic Perspective [PDF]
ToxicsSulfate (SO42−) is an essential chemical species in atmospheric aerosols and plays an influential role in their physical–chemical characteristics. The mechanisms of secondary SO42− aerosol have been intensively studied in air-polluted cities.

Tropical Pacific Island Environments [PDF]
Pacific Conservation Biology, 1998 The Pacific island region comprises a large and ecologically diverse area of the Earth, but is fragile and highly sensitive to environmental change. On some islands 80% or more of the species are endemic. These species are particularly vulnerable due to their geographic and ecological isolation.
