Tropical montane cloud forest [PDF]
, 2007 Tropical montane cloud forests (TMCFs) are covered in clouds and fog, by definition, and are abundant with mosses, lichens and epiphytes. The hydrology of these ecosystems is poorly understood due to the extreme wetness, complex topography, and ...

Oikos, EarlyView.Food webs consist of trophic interactions of variable strength. However, it remains challenging to predict how changes in environmental conditions, such as nutrient enrichment, can affect these interactions. In this paper, we propose to integrate food web theory with ecological stoichiometry, which predicts how elemental ratios affect trophic ...

Phytosociological analysis of Tropical Rain Forest and determination of key-species to recovery of degraded area based through the importance value index [PDF]
Boletim do Museu Paraense Emílio Goeldi. Ciências Naturais, 2012 In the National Forest of Saracá-Taquera, Para State, the bauxite mining is made in open pits. The mining operations involve since the complete removal of the tropical rain forest to the land restoration by heterogeneous reforestation where are employed ...

Bryophyte diversity patterns in flooded and tierra firme forests in the Araracuara Region, Colombian Amazonia [PDF]
, 2004 We investigated patterns of bryophyte species richness and composition in two forest types of Colombian Amazonia, non-flooded tierra firme forest and floodplain forest of the Caquetá River.

Oikos, EarlyView.Niche breadth, reflecting the range of environmental conditions or resources a species can exploit, influences its distribution, persistence, vulnerability to environmental change, and interspecific interactions. The elevational niche‐breadth hypothesis predicts broader ecological niches at higher elevations due to increased environmental stress and ...

The importance of wild meat and freshwater fish for children's nutritional intake in the Congo Basin
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Wild meat and freshwater fish are widely consumed in the Congo Basin, but in some areas, they are at risk of disappearing due to unsustainable hunting and fishing and changes in their habitat. Wild meat is also at risk of being eliminated from local diets due to potential policy changes such as wild meat bans.

Coupling growth and mortality models to detect climate drivers of tropical forest dynamics [PDF]
, 2013 Climate models for the coming century predict rainfall reduction in the Amazonian region, including deep changes in water availability for tropical rainforests.

People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Integrating diverse trees and shrubs (hereafter ‘trees’) in agricultural landscapes has emerged as a crucial nature‐based solution to the triple challenge of biodiversity loss, climate change and food security. The potential benefits of on‐farm trees for both people and nature, however, are often constrained by inadequate consideration of ...

More than proteins for empty stomachs: Wild meat in the BaTonga food system
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Our paper highlights the limitations of the framework used by many conservation‐focused programmes that incorporate food security objectives. This framework encourages the substitution of wild proteins with domestic proteins by promoting animal farming in communities located near conservation areas.
