Rainfall but not selective logging affect changes in abundance of tropical forest butterfly in Sabah, Borneo [PDF]
We investigated the effects of rainfall on the distribution and abundance of the satyrine butterfly Ragadia makuta in selectively logged and unlogged forest on Borneo. In 1997-98, there was a severe El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) drought, and annual

Vegetation and pollen rain relationship from the tropical Atlantic rain forest in Southern Brazil
The relationship between the southern Brazilian tropical Atlantic lowland rain forest and modern pollen rain was studied by pollen traps. The study was carried out on a one hectare plot undisturbed rain forest of the reserve Volta Velha and two secondary

Edaphic Specialization in Tropical Trees: Physiological Correlates and Responses to Reciprocal Transplantation [PDF]
Recent research has documented the importance of edaphic factors in determining the habitat associations of tree species in many tropical rain forests, but the underlying mechanisms for edaphic associations are unclear.

Spatial variations of nitrogen trace gas emissions from tropical mountain forests in Nyungwe, Rwanda [Discussion paper] [PDF]
Globally, tropical forest soils represent the second largest source of N2O and NO. However, there is still considerable uncertainty on the spatial variability and soil properties controlling N trace gas emission. To investigate how soil properties affect
