Drought Risk in Mango and Avocado Orchards: Insights Into Plant Water Relations and Irrigation‐Related Agronomic Solutions

open access: yesIrrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate change is making water availability more uncertain, with growing consequences for the productivity and long‐term sustainability of tropical and subtropical fruit orchards. Mangifera indica L. and Persea americana Mill. both require large amounts of water to sustain growth and productivity.

Atmospheric River Event Frequency Is the Principal Moisture Driver for Radial Growth of High‐Elevation Southern California, USA Conifers, 1658–2020 CE

open access: yesInternational Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Conifers growing in high‐elevation alpine environments in the mountains of Southern California, USA, are highly responsive to atmospheric river (AR) events, which typically produce heavy precipitation over 1–3 days. However, it is the frequency of the AR events, not their magnitude nor annual precipitation totals, that most affects the radial growth of

Do epigeal termite mounds increase the diversity of plant habitats in a tropical rain forest in peninsular Malaysia? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The extent to which environmental heterogeneity can account for tree species coexistence in diverse ecosystems, such as tropical rainforests, is hotly debated, although the importance of spatial variability in contributing to species co-existence is well

Dry–Hot Compound Events Driving the 2024 Pantanal Wildfires

open access: yesInternational Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Extreme wildfires in the Pantanal in 2024 were driven by a cascade of heatwaves, rainfall deficits and the absence of the annual flood pulse. These conditions dried soils and rivers, enhanced fuel accumulation and enabled early and intense fire outbreaks.

Rarity of monodominance in hyperdiverse Amazonian forests. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Tropical forests are known for their high diversity. Yet, forest patches do occur in the tropics where a single tree species is dominant. Such "monodominant" forests are known from all of the main tropical regions. For Amazonia, we sampled the occurrence
