where a wide variety of forests exists. They range fromrainforeststhat are hot and wet year-round to forests that are merely humid and moist, to those in which trees in varying proportions lose their leaves in the dry season, and to dry open woodlands. Because boundaries between these categor...
The principal regions of deciduous forest all occur in theNorthern Hemisphereand have historical connections between them. Thus, many similarities exist among their biota. The same plant and animalgeneratend to occur in all regions, although different species are found in each region. However, theEu...
the amplification strength of fire size in postfire biogeophysical responses is consistent with fire vulnerability across different forest types (Fig.3). Postfire decrease in LAI was the greatest in ENF, slightly lower in DNF and much lower in MF, and almost negligible in DBF ...
interviews with women between 24 and 60 years of age who have taken part in various aspects of the sex trade (i.e. street-based, indoor, transactional), this discussion focuses on how they entered the trade, the types of sex trade work done and the relationships with their male clients....
The aim of the study is to identify the differences in spectral response between the two types of forest disturbances and their temporal dynamics. General trends were analyzed throughout the study area, with sampled disturbance areas selected to assess the relationship between field vegetation ...
This study therefore aims to highlight the importance of regional descriptions of forest types and their subtypes to develop sustainable management proposals. 2. Experimental Section 2.1. Study Area The study area corresponds to a patch of continuous old-growth evergreen forests without apparent human...
Forest systems are generally persistent although their health and vigor are affected by natural disturbances such as fire, climatic events (e.g., wind and ice storms or drought), pests and diseases, which are likely to see intensification associated with global change. Together, increasing abiotic...
Forests have been identified as a major leverage for climate change mitigation because of their capacity to fix atmospheric CO2 and transform it as organic carbon, in biomass and then in soils1,2. On average, trees and soils store similar amounts of carbon in forest ecosystems2,3. Nevertheless...
Some species have no close relatives and exist alone in their genus, whereas others occur in genera made up of hundreds of species. Given this, one can ask whether it is a species belonging to the former or latter category that is more important. On one hand, a taxonomically distinct spec...
