Stoichiometric plasticity of microbial communities is similar between litter and soil in a tropical rainforest

Scientific Reports, 2017
Heterotrophic microorganisms are commonly thought to be stoichiometrically homeostatic but their stoichiometric plasticity has rarely been examined, particularly in terrestrial ecosystems.

From Global Standards to Local Compliance: Implementation Heterogeneity in Cocoa Certification in Indonesia

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Certified companies translate voluntary sustainability standards (VSS) into local practice, yet little is known about how company‐level implementation of VSS relates to farmer compliance. This paper examines Rainforest Alliance (RA) implementation by three certified companies in the Indonesian cocoa sector. Drawing on compliance and regulatory

Preliminary study on premature infant death of Hainan gibbons (Nomascus hainanus): implications for conservation

Frontiers in Conservation Science
Hainan gibbon (Nomascus hainanus) is China’s only endemic gibbon species and among the world’s rarest primate species. Documenting infant mortality and investigating their underlying causes are essential for informing evidence-based conservation ...

Interannual and Seasonal Variations in Ecosystem Transpiration and Water Use Efficiency in a Tropical Rainforest

Forests, 2018
Warmer and drier climates over Amazonia have been predicted for the next century with expected changes in regional water and carbon cycles. We examined the impact of interannual and seasonal variations in climate conditions on ecosystem-level ...

Environmental changes during secondary succession in a tropical dry forest in Mexico [PDF]

, 2011
Vegetation and environment change mutually during secondary succession, yet the idiosyncrasies of the vegetation effect on the understorey environment are poorly understood. To test whether the successional understorey environment changes predictably and

Biotic and abiotic drivers of ecosystem functioning differ between a temperate and a tropical region

Ecography, EarlyView.
Any single ecosystem will provide many ecosystem functions. Yet, we lack large‐scale, systematic studies of how abiotic factors can directly or indirectly – via effects on biodiversity – drive ecosystem functioning. In this study, we assessed the impact of climate, landscape and biotic community on ecosystem functioning in the temperate and tropical ...

Monoterpene chemical speciation in a tropical rainforest : variation with season, height, and time of dayat the Amazon Tall Tower Observatory (ATTO)

, 2017
. Speciated monoterpene measurements in rainforest air are scarce, but they are essential for understanding the contribution of these compounds to the overall reactivity of volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions towards the main atmospheric oxidants ...
