Journal of Applied Ecology, 2018 Conversion of rainforest into agricultural land affects multiple facets of tropical plant diversity. While the effects of tropical land use change and intensification on species diversity are comparatively well studied, the effects on phylogenetic ...

Construction and Application of a Novel C‐Vine Copula‐Based Multi‐Variate Ecological Drought Index
Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.ABSTRACT A comprehensive ecological drought index capturing vegetation growth conditions and meteorological–hydrological variability is essential for assessing ecological drought and optimizing water resource management. This study selected soil moisture (SM), actual evapotranspiration (ET), land surface temperature (LST) and leaf area index (LAI) to ...

Post‐Fire Soil Organic Carbon Dynamics: Decline and Recovery Over Two Decades
Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Wildfire can significantly alter soil organic carbon (SOC) dynamics in forest ecosystems, with complex temporal patterns following fire events. However, research on post‐fire SOC recovery remains limited, particularly in dry‐warm valley regions that are prone to frequent forest fires.

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 ...

Forest Conversion Reduces Soil Water Retention in Tropical Rainforest
Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Extensive primary forests are being converted to secondary forests and plantations owing to human activities in recent decades, which have substantial effects on soil hydrological processes. However, the potential impact of forest conversion on soil water retention remains poorly understood.

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Phenotypic plasticity can facilitate species survival in a variety of conditions that are not possible with a fixed phenotype. Foliar water uptake (FWU), defined as the absorption of water through leaf surfaces, is an important mechanism contributing to plant water balance and drought tolerance in many species.

Oikos, EarlyView.Functional traits allow ecologists to synthesise general rules of community assembly. In joint species distribution modelling, traits are increasingly used to explain species–environment relationships, with the intention of being able to generalise predictions to other species in other systems.

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 ...

Geochemical signature of Amazon Tropical rainforest soils
, 2018 : Evaluating soil geochemical diversity in the Amazon Basin has been a challenge largely because most study sites have been at the edge of the basin and it is difficult to get samples in such a region.
