Plant Species Composition and Their Conspecific Association in Natural Tropical Rainforest, South Papua

open access: yes, 2016
Papua has so many wide lowland areas that cover high diversity in plant from life-forms.  In contrast, there is a lack of information concerning species diversity.  The objectives of the research were to describe species of plant life-forms and described

Ecological and socio-economic functions across tropical land use systems after rainforest conversion

open access: yesPhilosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2016
Tropical lowland rainforests are increasingly threatened by the expansion of agriculture and the extraction of natural resources. In Jambi Province, Indonesia, the interdisciplinary EFForTS project focuses on the ecological and socio-economic dimensions ...

Climate Change and Entrepreneurship: A Review and Research Agenda

open access: yesGlobal Business and Organizational Excellence, Volume 44, Issue 4, Page 16-43, May/June 2025.
ABSTRACT As climate change risks intensify, the role of entrepreneurial activities in addressing these challenges and promoting sustainable development becomes increasingly vital. Through a systematic literature review using a bibliometric analysis of 387 studies from Scopus up to December 31, 2023, this study focuses on the intersection of ...

Integrating LiDAR, Multispectral and SAR Data to Estimate and Map Canopy Height in Tropical Forests

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2019
Developing accurate methods to map vegetation structure in tropical forests is essential to protect their biodiversity and improve their carbon stock estimation. We integrated LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging), multispectral and SAR (Synthetic Aperture

Hydroclimate variability in the eastern Kimberley, Australia, since the last deglaciation

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The climate of the Kimberley region in tropical northwest Australia is dominated by the Indo‐Australian summer monsoon (IASM). Understanding of the palaeoclimate since the Last Glacial Maximum in this region, which is well placed to record IASM variations, is currently based on few records.

Genomes of two Extinct‐in‐the‐Wild reptiles from Christmas Island reveal distinct evolutionary histories and conservation insights

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Genomics can play important roles in biodiversity conservation, especially for Extinct‐in‐the‐Wild species where genetic factors greatly influence risk of total extinction and probability of successful reintroductions. The Christmas Island blue‐tailed skink (Cryptoblepharus egeriae) and Lister's gecko (Lepidodactylus listeri) are two endemic ...

Fauna Diversity in Tropical Rainforest: Threats from Land-Use Change

open access: yes, 2016
Tropical rainforests are the cradle of life (perfect conditions for life) on Earth, i.e., rich in plant species composition (>250 plant species/hectare) and fauna diversity (>50% of animal species in the world). Rainforests occur near the Earth's equator

Detectability in Audio-Visual Surveys of Tropical Rainforest Birds: The Influence of Species, Weather and Habitat Characteristics

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
Indices of relative abundance do not control for variation in detectability, which can bias density estimates such that ecological processes are difficult to infer.

Dynamics of surface accretion and surface elevation differ between river and tide dominated settings in tropical mangroves

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, EarlyView.
Abstract The maintenance of soil surface elevation in mangroves supports the persistence of mangroves with sea level rise. The processes contributing to soil surface elevation have rarely been assessed in the humid tropics, despite most mangroves occurring in river deltas and tidal estuaries within this climate zone. Using surface elevation table (SET)
