Tropical storm intensity and numbers of dry days are probably more sensitive to the degree of forest cover than annual precipitation. In the present research work, an attempt has been made to determine the extent of contribution of local forest in local cumulonimbus cloud formation and convective ...
4.1. Plant functional groups in tropical drylands In this work, seven functional groups were identified along an aridity gradient in a Tropical dry forest. The diagnosing traits that are at the basis of these 7 functional groups vary according to the type of plant growth form. For herbs or ...
not all tropical rainforests occur in places with high, constantrainfall; for example, in the so-called “dry rainforests” of northeasternAustralia, theclimateis punctuated by a dry season, which reduces the annualprecipitation. This article covers only the richest of rainforests—the tropical rainfo...
The critical temperature beyond which photosynthetic machinery in tropical trees begins to fail averages approximately 46.7 °C (Tcrit)1. However, it remains unclear whether leaf temperatures experienced by tropical vegetation approach this threshold or soon will under climate change. Here we found...
average precipitation of 148 mm was recorded, with a peak in May 2014 (171.59 mm). Naturally, we could not always guarantee this 70% of vegetation cover, but light penetration inside the forest in the wet season was much lower than that observed at the edges of the forest fragment where ...

Humidity and precipitation increase, at least up to the quasi-permanent cloud belt, which is usually 1000–1500 m above the base of the mountains (lower in more humid areas). Thus, a tropical dry season in the surrounding lowland may disappear completely with a climb of 1000 m or less. ...

Here we compile a pantropical tree-ring network to show that annual woody biomass growth increases primarily with dry-season precipitation and decreases with dry-season maximum temperature. The strength of these dry-season climate responses varies among sites, as reflected in four robust and distinct...
Average annual precipitation at this elevation was 1,736 mm (as recorded by the Kog-Ma Watershed Research Station, the weather station nearest to the forest restoration plots at a similar altitude). Virtually all rainfall occurred during the Species selection Seedlings belonging to 13 tree species ...
