In situ measurements of isoprene and monoterpenes within a south-east Asian tropical rainforest [PDF]
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.

Nutrition of tree species in tropical dry forest and rainforest environments
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.

The study of butterfly coloration has helped to identify the ecological pressures involved in the evolution of animal coloration. However, almost all studies that addressed this issue have focused on species that inhabit more temperate environments ...

Exploration on the outstanding universal values of Hainan potential world natural heritage site
World natural heritage sites are some of the most important and valuable protected areas in the world, and their designation aims to give recognition to the uniqueness and protect the integrity of the sites, which are of global outstanding universal ...

Joint assessment of density correlations and fluctuations for analysing spatial tree patterns [PDF]
Inferring the processes underlying the emergence of observed patterns is a key challenge in theoretical ecology. Much effort has been made in the past decades to collect extensive and detailed information about the spatial distribution of tropical rainforests, as demonstrated, e.g., in the 50 ha tropical forest plot on Barro Colorado Island, Panama ...

Drought drives rapid shifts in tropical rainforest soil biogeochemistry and greenhouse gas emissions
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

Hysteresis of tropical forests in the 21st century
Tropical rainforests partly create their own climatic conditions by promoting precipitation, therefore rainforest losses may trigger dramatic shifts.

Tropical forests store and sequester large amounts of carbon in above- and below-ground plant biomass and soil organic matter (SOM), but how these are driven by abiotic and biotic factors remains poorly understood.
