Interactions Between Climate and Species Drive Future Forest Carbon and Water Balances
Ecohydrology, Volume 18, Issue 2, March 2025.ABSTRACT Global change is altering forest carbon and water balances; however, the extent to which tree species shape ecosystem‐scale responses to climate, particularly in biodiverse forests, remains unclear. To address this, we simulated the effects of an envelope of future climate conditions on watershed carbon and water balances and quantified the ...

Classification of animal sounds in a hyperdiverse rainforest using Convolutional Neural Networks [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 To protect tropical forest biodiversity, we need to be able to detect it reliably, cheaply, and at scale. Automated species detection from passively recorded soundscapes via machine-learning approaches is a promising technique towards this goal, but it is constrained by the necessity of large training data sets. Using soundscapes from a tropical forest

Disturbance and mosquito diversity in the lowland tropical rainforest of central Panama
Scientific Reports, 2017 The Intermediate Disturbance Hypothesis (IDH) is well-known in ecology providing an explanation for the role of disturbance in the coexistence of climax and colonist species. Here, we used the IDH as a framework to describe the role of forest disturbance

A zoogeographic model for the evolution of diversity and endemism in Madagascar
Ecography, EarlyView.The delineation of zoogeographic regions is essential for understanding the evolution of biodiversity. Madagascar, characterized by high levels of endemism and habitat diversity, presents unique challenges and opportunities for such studies. Traditional global zoogeographic classifications, largely based on vertebrates, may overlook finer‐scale ...

Química Nova, 2012 Soil fluxes of N2O were determined over one year in montane tropical rainforest of southeastern Brazil with average annual rainfall of 2.8 m. Annual mean (± standard deviation) and median N2O fluxes were 3.0 ± 1.4 and 2.7 µg N m-2 h-1, respectively, is 5-

The role of contaminant risk landscapes in the Anthropocene
Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, Volume 23, Issue 3, April 2025.Across the planet, human mobilization of chemical pollution and widespread land‐cover changes are key markers of the Anthropocene. However, because they occur at different spatial scales, contaminant mobilization and land‐cover changes are generally studied as separate issues. Landscapes differ in how contaminants are processed and risk manifests.

Long‐Distance Corridors Facilitate Asian Elephant Adaptation to Climate Change 长距离廊道有助于亚洲象适应气候变化
Integrative Conservation, Volume 4, Issue 1, Page 57-70, March 2025.Climate change presents significant challenges for Asian elephants, forcing them to either remain in degraded habitats or seek new ones. But, remaining would lead to resource shortages, while moving is hindered by movement barriers. This study integrates species distribution models (MaxEnt) and the minimum cumulative resistance (MCR) model to construct

Increased Asymmetry of Ecosystem Productivity Responses to Precipitation in Recent Two Decades
Geophysical Research LettersProjected increases in precipitation variability are expected to profoundly impact terrestrial vegetation productivity. Notably, the absolute change in ecosystem productivity to same amount of precipitation increase versus decrease may not be same ...

Conversion of rainforest to oil palm and rubber plantations alters energy channels in soil food webs
Ecology and Evolution, 2019 In the last decades, lowland tropical rainforest has been converted in large into plantation systems. Despite the evident changes above ground, the effect of rainforest conversion on the channeling of energy in soil food webs was not studied.
