Dissecting earthworm diversity in tropical rainforests
Ecography, EarlyView.AbstractTropical rainforests are among the most emblematic ecosystems in terms of biodiversity. However, our understanding of the structure of tropical biodiversity is still incomplete, particularly for certain groups of soil organisms such as earthworms, whose importance for ecosystem functioning is widely recognised.

Linking biogenic hydrocarbons to biogenic aerosol in the Borneo rainforest [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2013 Emissions of biogenic volatile organic compounds are though to contribute significantly to secondary organic aerosol formation in the tropics, but understanding these transformation processes has proved difficult, due to the complexity of the chemistry ...

Plant phylogeny as a window on the evolution of hyperdiversity in the tropical rainforest biome.
New Phytologist, 2017 I. II. III. IV. V. VI. VII. VIII. IX. References SUMMARY: Tropical rainforest (TRF) is the most species-rich terrestrial biome on Earth, harbouring just under half of the world's plant species in c. 7% of the land surface.

Oxidized organic molecules in the tropical free troposphere over Amazonia [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 New particle formation (NPF) in the tropical free troposphere (FT) is a globally important source of cloud condensation nuclei, affecting cloud properties and climate. Oxidized organic molecules (OOMs) produced from biogenic volatile organic compounds are believed to contribute to aerosol formation in the tropical FT, but without direct chemical ...
