Global Change Biology, Volume 29, Issue 17, Page 4775-4792, September 2023., 2023 How do tropical forests respond to climate change and disturbances? Here, we assess changes in functional trait composition across 10,000 years in Amazonian and Andean forests, using eight fossil pollen records and data on functional traits. Changes in temperature and disturbances had strongest effect, indicating that increased temperature and ...

Fermentation‐mediated growth, signaling, and defense in plants
New Phytologist, Volume 239, Issue 3, Page 839-851, August 2023., 2023 Summary While traditionally considered important mainly in hypoxic roots during flooding, upregulation of fermentation pathways in plants has recently been described as an evolutionarily conserved drought survival strategy, with acetate signaling mediating reprograming of transcription and cellular carbon and energy metabolism from roots to leaves. The

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 34, Issue 12, Page 3712-3727, 30 July 2023., 2023 Abstract Active reclamation is often necessary to ensure a transformation of mining waste into Technosols—“soils dominated or strongly influenced by human‐made material”—and restore its utility and environmental value. The objective of this study is to assess the spatial variation of the physicochemical properties relevant for reclamation and Technosol

Effects of forest fragmentation on the vertical stratification of neotropical bats [PDF]
, 2020 Vertical stratification is a key component of the biological complexity of rainforests. Understanding community- and species-level responses to disturbance across forest strata is paramount for evidence-based conservation and management.

Successional shifts in tree demographic strategies in wet and dry Neotropical forests
Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 32, Issue 6, Page 1002-1014, June 2023., 2023 Abstract Aim Tropical forest succession and associated changes in community composition are driven by species demographic rates, but how demographic strategies shift during succession remains unclear. Our goal was to identify generalities in demographic trade‐offs and successional shifts in demographic strategies across Neotropical forests that cover a

Diverse anthropogenic disturbances shift Amazon forests along a structural spectrum
Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, Volume 21, Issue 1, Page 24-32, February 2023., 2023 Amazon forests are being degraded by myriad anthropogenic disturbances, altering ecosystem and climate function. We analyzed the effects of a range of land‐use and climate‐change disturbances on fine‐scale canopy structure using a large database of profiling canopy lidar collected from disturbed and mature Amazon forest plots.
