An estimate of the number of tropical tree species. [PDF]

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2015
SignificancePeople are fascinated by the amazing diversity of tropical forests and will be surprised to learn that robust estimates of the number of tropical tree species are lacking. We show that there are at least 40,000, but possibly more than 53,000, tree species in the tropics, in contrast to only 124 across temperate Europe.

Flood tolerance of four tropical tree species [PDF]

Tree Physiology, 1999
Many seasonally flooded habitats in the tropics are dominated by one or a few tree species. We tested the hypothesis that the inability to tolerate flooding restricts most species from becoming established in flood-prone habitats. We compared morphological and physiological responses to flooding in seedlings of Prioria copaifera Griseb., a species that

Tropical and subtropical Asia's valued tree species under threat [PDF]

Conservation Biology, 2022
Abstract Tree diversity in Asia's tropical and subtropical forests is central to nature‐based solutions. Species vulnerability to multiple threats, which affect provision of ecosystem services, is poorly understood. We conducted a region‐wide, spatially explicit assessment of the vulnerability of 63 socioeconomically important tree ...

Tropical Rainforest Successional Processes can Facilitate Successfully Recovery of Extremely Degraded Tropical Forest Ecosystems Following Intensive Mining Operations

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2021
Reforestation is an effective way to alleviate deforestation and its negative impacts on ecosystem services. In tropical rainforest ecosystem, however, frequent typhoons and heavy rainfall can result in landslides and uprooting of many seedlings, making ...

Different environmental factors drive tree species diversity along elevation gradients in three climatic zones in Yunnan, southern China

Plant Diversity, 2021
Elevational patterns of tree diversity are well studied worldwide. However, few studies have examined how seedlings respond to elevational gradients and whether their responses vary across climatic zones.

Third-Generation Sequencing Reveals LncRNA-Regulated HSP Genes in the Populus x canadensis Moench Heat Stress Response

Frontiers in Genetics, 2020
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) regulate plant responses to abiotic stresses. However, the short reads produced by second-generation sequencing technology make it difficult to accurately explore full-length transcripts, limiting the study of lncRNAs.

Morphological Responses of a Light-Demanding Alstonia scholaris and a Shade-Tolerant Eusideroxylon zwageri to the Air Humidity and Light Intensity

Jurnal Manajemen Hutan Tropika, 2021
The response of tropical trees to the change of light intensity has been reported to be varied among different species. Some reports argued that the growth was increasing parallel to the increasing of light intensity, but other reports mentioned that the

Why abundant tropical tree species are phylogenetically old [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2013
Significance Neutral population models assume that competing species are ecologically equivalent and predict several properties of extant ecosystems. Ecological aspects of neutral models have been tested repeatedly, with a special focus on tropical trees, but their macroevolutionary predictions have received little attention.
