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 ...

In situ measurements of isoprene and monoterpenes within a south-east Asian tropical rainforest [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2011 Biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) emitted from tropical rainforests comprise a substantial fraction of global atmospheric VOC emissions, however there are only relatively limited measurements of these species in tropical rainforest regions.

Effects of forest fragmentation on the vertical stratification of neotropical bats [PDF]
, 2020 Vertical stratification is a key component of the biological complexity of rainforests. Understanding community- and species-level responses to disturbance across forest strata is paramount for evidence-based conservation and management.

Life form and behavior type shape water use efficiency in tropical plants via leaf functional traits
Environmental and Experimental BotanyUnderstanding how water use efficiency (WUE) responds to fluctuating light is critical for predicting ecosystem function under global change. In this study, we examined photosynthetic gas exchange and leaf functional traits across 48 tropical plant ...
