Fagaceae tree species allocate higher fraction of nitrogen to photosynthetic apparatus than Leguminosae in Jianfengling tropical montane rain forest, China. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
Variation in photosynthetic-nitrogen use efficiency (PNUE) is generally affected by several factors such as leaf nitrogen allocation and leaf diffusional conductances to CO2, although it is still unclear which factors significantly affect PNUE in ...

From Ecosystem Threats to Balance Sheets: Biodiversity Risks Exposure and Corporate Cash Policies

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates how firms strategically respond to biodiversity risk by examining their cash holding decisions. Using firm‐level data from China, we find that firm‐level biodiversity risk exposure significantly increases corporate cash holdings.

Is interlocked grain an adaptive trait for tropical tree species in rainforest? [PDF]

, 2009
Many trees in tropical rain forest exhibit interlocked grain. This phenomenon was observed, using a splitting method, on 10 trees from different genera in French Guiana. There were rather strong variations between and within trees. Different indexes were

Spatial variations of nitrogen trace gas emissions from tropical mountain forests in Nyungwe, Rwanda [PDF]

, 2012
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.

Spatial and temporal distribution of atmospheric aerosols in the lowermost troposphere over the Amazonian tropical rainforest

, 2004
International audienceWe present measurements of aerosol physico-chemical properties below 5 km altitude over the tropical rain forest and the marine boundary layer (MBL) obtained during the LBA-CLAIRE 1998 project. The MBL aerosol size distribution some

Precipitation and tree biomass correlate with the diversity and functional composition of tropical rainforest cricket assemblages across climate and disturbance gradients

Ecography, EarlyView.
Disturbance‐driven changes in rainforest structure and environmental conditions can alter ecosystem functioning, yet the consequences for invertebrate communities – key contributors to decomposition, herbivory, and trophic interactions – are not fully understood, particularly in relation to structural changes in vegetation.
