Evidence of Climate Changes in a Tropical Rainforest: Case Study Kakamega Tropical Rainforest
International Journal of Environment and Climate Change, 2021 Aims: To assess trends in rainfall and temperature as evidence of climate change in the Kakamega tropical forest ecosystem over the last 30 years (1980-2010). Study Design: Secondary data on temperature, rainfall and other climate related phenomena that have occurred within the Kakamega forest ecosystem over the last 30 years were obtained from ...

The emergence of the tropical rainforest biome in the Cretaceous
Biogeosciences, 2022 Abstract. Modern tropical rain forests (TRF) are one of the most ecologically important and species-rich biomes on the planet. However, the origin of modern TRF is still debated, especially due to the incongruence between the fossil record and molecular data.

Plant traits demonstrate that temperate and tropical giant eucalypt forests are ecologically convergent with rainforest not savanna. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Ecological theory differentiates rainforest and open vegetation in many regions as functionally divergent alternative stable states with transitional (ecotonal) vegetation between the two forming transient unstable states. This transitional vegetation is

Quantification of Ecosystem-Scale Methane Sinks Observed in a Tropical Rainforest in Hainan, China
Land, 2022 Tropical rainforest ecosystems are important when considering the global methane (CH4) budget and in climate change mitigation. However, there is a lack of direct and year-round observations of ecosystem-scale CH4 fluxes from tropical rainforest ...
