Trait filtering during exotic plant invasion of tropical rainforest remnants along a disturbance gradient [PDF]
1. Human-modified tropical landscapes are often invaded by exotic plant species, but relatively few species are able to colonise remnant areas of rainforest embedded within such landscapes.

Land-use change and propagule pressure promote plant invasions in tropical rainforest remnants [PDF]
Intact tropical rainforests are considered robust to plant invasions. However, land-use change alters the structure and species composition of native forest, opening up tropical landscapes to invasion.

How Tropical Epiphytes at the Eden Project Contribute to Rainforest Canopy Science [PDF]
Understanding the ecological patterns and ecosystem processes of tropical rainforest canopies is becoming increasingly urgent in the face of widespread deforestation. However, accessing rainforest canopies is far from simple, and performing manipulative

Simulating atmospheric composition over a South-East Asian tropical rainforest: performance of a chemistry box model [PDF]
Atmospheric composition and chemistry above tropical rainforests is currently not well established, particularly for south-east Asia. In order to examine our understanding of chemical processes in this region, the performance of a box model of ...

Non-microbial methane emissions from tropical rainforest soils under different conditions.
Non-microbial methane (NM-CH4), emissions from soil might play a significant role in carbon cycling and global climate change. However, the production mechanisms and emission potential of soil NM-CH4 from tropical rainforest remain highly uncertain.
