Long-term (1990–2019) monitoring of forest cover changes in the humid tropics
Science Advances, 2021 Three decades of satellite observations provide unprecedented information about forest change trajectories in the humid tropics. Accurate characterization of tropical moist forest changes is needed to support conservation policies and to quantify their ...

Genetic basis and adaptation trajectory of soybean from its temperate origin to tropics
Nature Communications, 2021 Soybean (Glycine max) serves as a major source of protein and edible oils worldwide. The genetic and genomic bases of the adaptation of soybean to tropical regions remain largely unclear.

Global LiDAR land elevation data reveal greatest sea-level rise vulnerability in the tropics
Nature Communications, 2021 Coastal flood risk assessments require accurate land elevation data. Those to date existed only for limited parts of the world, which has resulted in high uncertainty in projections of land area at risk of sea-level rise (SLR).

National mitigation potential from natural climate solutions in the tropics
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Biological Sciences, 2020 Better land stewardship is needed to achieve the Paris Agreement's temperature goal, particularly in the tropics, where greenhouse gas emissions from the destruction of ecosystems are largest, and where the potential for additional land carbon storage is

Broiler production challenges in the tropics: A review
Veterinary Medicine and Science, 2021 Under tropical climate, broiler production is encumbered by several constraints which make it difficult for them to attain their genetic potential. The scarcity and high price of poultry feed and veterinary services and the harsh environmental conditions
