Germination responses to light of four Neotropical forest tree species along an elevational gradient in the southern Central Andes [PDF]
, 2020 Seed germination is a key part of plants' life cycle and is mostly affected by the genetic background, the environmental conditions experienced by the mother plant and the seedbed conditions.

Breeding Systems of Tree Species of a Lowland Tropical Community [PDF]
Evolution, 1974 Little information is available on the breeding systems of tropical forest trees. Yet a knowledge of reproductive methods is essential for an understanding of the patterns of gene flow and genetic differentiation within and between populations. Such information, in turn, is fundamental to an understanding of speciation and the genetic relationships ...

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.Abstract Guaraná (Paullinia cupana) is a fruit native to the Amazon region. Due to its widespread use, primarily in beverages, its production has grown over the years. The seed is the only commercially valuable part of the fruit so the guaraná production chain generates byproducts, including peel, husk, and spent seed.

Efficient plot-based floristic assessment of tropical forests [PDF]
, 2003 The tropical flora remains chronically understudied and the lack of floristic understanding hampers ecological research and its application for large-scale conservation planning.

Dendroclimatology using tropical broad-leaved tree species – a review
Erdkunde, 2017 Global change has led to the warming of the atmosphere and oceans, the diminishment of snow and ice, while the sea level is rising. These changes have widespread impacts on human and natural systems on all continents and across the oceans. In tropical regions, ecosystems and socio-economic cultures become more and more affected by the high ...

Does degradation from selective logging and illegal activities differently impact forest resources? A case study in Ghana [PDF]
, 2016 Degradation, a reduction of the ecosystem’s capacity to supply goods and services, is widespread in tropical forests and mainly caused by human disturbance.

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The ecology of forests, their losses, and terrestrial wood decomposition dynamics have been intensively studied and reviewed. In the aquatic realm, reviews have concentrated on large wood (LW) in rivers and the transition from freshwater to marine environments in the Pacific Northwest of North America. However, a comprehensive global synthesis

Is interlocked grain an adaptive trait for tropical tree species in rainforest? [PDF]
, 2009 Many trees in tropical rain forest exhibit interlocked grain. This phenomenon was observed, using a splitting method, on 10 trees from different genera in French Guiana. There were rather strong variations between and within trees. Different indexes were
