The Context of Tropical Rainforest Deforestation and Degradation [PDF]

, 2017
The author begins Chap. 10.1007/978-3-319-63236-0_2 with the general locations of rainforests (Afrotropical, Neotropical, and Indo-Pacific region) and outlines the specific countries that host rainforests. The author then provides a historical and current context of tropical rainforest deforestation and degradation. Maps are provided showing the forest

The dry‐season low‐level cloud cover over western equatorial Africa: A case study with a mesoscale atmospheric model

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
The atmospheric mechanisms responsible for the low‐level cloud cover (LCC) over western equatorial Africa in the dry season are poorly studied. This study brings a better understanding of the mechanisms accounting for the diurnal LCC formation and dissipation, and it highlights some potential interactions between local and regional dynamics by using a ...

Level set Cox processes [PDF]

arXiv, 2017
The log-Gaussian Cox process (LGCP) is a popular point process for modeling non-interacting spatial point patterns. This paper extends the LGCP model to handle data exhibiting fundamentally different behaviors in different subregions of the spatial domain. The aim of the analyst might be either to identify and classify these regions, to perform kriging,

Available nitrogen is the key factor influencing soil microbial functional gene diversity in tropical rainforest

BMC Microbiology, 2015
BackgroundTropical rainforests cover over 50 % of all known plant and animal species and provide a variety of key resources and ecosystem services to humans, largely mediated by metabolic activities of soil microbial communities.

Leveraging the next generation of spaceborne Earth observations for fuel monitoring and wildland fire management

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, Volume 11, Issue 2, Page 133-155, April 2025.
This paper presents an interdisciplinary perspective of the next generation of spaceborne remote sensors applied to wildland fire management. We highlight the potential improvements in fuel characterization at large scale arising from the use of new spaceborne instruments with near‐global, freely‐available data.

Combining satellite and field data reveals Congo's forest types structure, functioning and composition

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, Volume 11, Issue 2, Page 200-220, April 2025.
Using Sentinel‐2 satellite images and recent deep learning architectures, we built a large‐scale vegetation map of the North of Congo and assessed the environmental drivers of the main forest types, their forest structure, their floristic and functional compositions, and their faunistic composition.

Strong intraspecific trait variation in a tropical dominant tree species along an elevational gradient

Plant Diversity, 2020
Functional trait variation of plant species includes both inter- and intraspecific variation; however, trait-based plant ecology generally considers only interspecific variation while ignoring intraspecific variation.

PalmProbNet: A Probabilistic Approach to Understanding Palm Distributions in Ecuadorian Tropical Forest via Transfer Learning [PDF]

arXiv
Palms play an outsized role in tropical forests and are important resources for humans and wildlife. A central question in tropical ecosystems is understanding palm distribution and abundance. However, accurately identifying and localizing palms in geospatial imagery presents significant challenges due to dense vegetation, overlapping canopies, and ...
