Tropical rainforests: Diversity begets diversity [PDF]
Current Biology, 1997 Tropical rainforests exhibit an extraordinarily high level of biological diversity. A new study shows that the patterns of seedling survival surrounding parent trees are responsible in large part for this amazing diversity.

Nutrition of tree species in tropical dry forest and rainforest environments
Revista Ceres, 2020 Knowledge of the nutritional efficiency of species can help revegetation of forest areas, guiding the use of species that best adapt to environmental humidity, altitude and diversity.

Drought drives rapid shifts in tropical rainforest soil biogeochemistry and greenhouse gas emissions
Nature Communications, 2018 Climate change models predict more frequent and severe droughts in the humid tropics. How drought will impact tropical forest carbon and greenhouse gas dynamics is poorly understood. Here we report the effects of the severe 2015 Caribbean drought on soil
