Carbon sequestration potential of second-growth forest regeneration in the Latin American tropics

Science Advances, 2016
Models reveal the high carbon mitigation potential of tropical forest regeneration. Regrowth of tropical secondary forests following complete or nearly complete removal of forest vegetation actively stores carbon in aboveground biomass, partially ...

Extreme precipitation in the tropics is closely associated with long-lived convective systems

Communications Earth & Environment, 2020
Water and energy cycles are linked to global warming through the water vapor feedback and heavy precipitation events are expected to intensify as the climate warms. For the mid-latitudes, extreme precipitation theory has been successful in explaining the

Chemical NOx budget in the upper troposphere over the tropical South Pacific [PDF]

, 2000
The chemical NOx budget in the upper troposphere over the tropical South Pacific is analyzed using aircraft measurements made at 6-12 km altitude in September 1996 during the Global Tropospheric Experiment (GTE) Pacific Exploratory Mission (PEM) Tropics ...

Angiosperm speciation cools down in the tropics

Ecology Letters, 2020
Recent evidence has questioned whether the Latitudinal Diversity Gradient (LDG), whereby species richness increases towards the Equator, results in higher rates of speciation in the tropics.

Tropical dermatology: viral tropical diseases

Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, 2003
Viruses are important pathogens in tropical areas; most of them, especially the tropical hemorrhagic fevers, produce mucocutaneous manifestations. More than any other kind of pathogen, viruses have the possibility for being widespread, since they have a greater probability of mutation than do bacteria, can cross species barriers easily, and infect both

Intact but empty forests? Patterns of hunting-induced mammal defaunation in the tropics

PLoS Biology, 2019
Tropical forests are increasingly degraded by industrial logging, urbanization, agriculture, and infrastructure, with only 20% of the remaining area considered intact.
