Distinctive Phyllosphere bacterial communities in tropical trees. [PDF]
, 2011 Recent work has suggested that in temperate and subtropical trees, leaf surface bacterial communities are distinctive to each individual tree species and dominated by Alpha and Gammaproteobacteria.

Trees, Forests and People, 2022 Hydrological and vegetation models, with the help of various micro-meteorological methods, are widely used to calculate water fluxes. Correctly estimating these fluxes requires accurate transpiration measurements. Tree water use is known to be influenced

Nitrogen and phosphorus additions negatively affect tree species diversity in tropical forest regrowth trajectories [PDF]
, 2010 Nutrient enrichment is increasingly affecting many tropical ecosystems, but there is no information on how this affects tree biodiversity. To examine dynamics in vegetation structure and tree species biomass and diversity, we annually remeasured tree ...

Pervasive species-specific repulsion among adult tropical trees [PDF]
, 2022 AbstractFor species to coexist, performance must decline as the density of conspecific individuals increases. Although evidence for such Conspecific Negative Density Dependence (CNDD) exists in forests, the spatial repulsion it should produce has not been demonstrated in adults. Here we show that in comparison to a null model of stochastic birth, death

Classification of Tropical Forest Tree Species Using Meter-Scale Image Data
Remote Sensing, 2019 Accurate classification of tropical tree species is critical for understanding forest habitat, biodiversity, forest composition, biomass, and the role of trees in climate variability through carbon uptake.

The assembly and interactions of tree species in tropical forests based on spatial analysis
Ecosphere, 2017 Tree species were assembled into forest communities by various processes, and it was found that trees are spatially arranged in a community by the abiotic and biotic conditions within that community.

Complementary N Uptake Strategies between Tree Species in Tropical Rainforest [PDF]
International Scholarly Research Notices, 2014 Within tree communities, the differential use of soil N mineral resources, a key factor in ecosystem functioning, may reflect functional complementarity, a major mechanism that could explain species coexistence in tropical rainforests. Eperua falcata and Dicorynia guianensis, two abundant species cooccurring in rainforests of French Guiana, were chosen

Chromosome-level genome assembly of Nothapodytes nimmoniana
Scientific DataNothapodytes nimmoniana is a plant species belonging to the genus Nothapodytes in the family Icacinaceae. This species holds significant medicinal value due to its camptothecin content. In this study, we present the first chromosome-level genome assembly

Tropical and subtropical dendrochronology: Approaches, applications, and prospects
Ecological Indicators, 2022 Tropical and subtropical forests cover only 7 % of the Earth’s land surface. Yet, they host nearly half of global tree density with a high species number (∼40,000 species), store up to 25 % of global terrestrial carbon and represent one-third of net ...

Pl@ntWood: A computer-assisted identification tool for 110 species of Amazon trees based on wood anatomy [PDF]
, 2009 World interest in conservation of tropical forests has increased due to elevated rates of deforestation and climate change issues. Tropical forests are threatened by extensive agriculture and timber trade among other factors; thus, sustainable management
