We find that the basic GPP overwhelmed the recurrent GPP with the averaging ratio of 4.2:1 across the global tropical regions, and dominated the IAV of annual total GPP in 83.7% of the tropical evergreen forest areas. The high contribution of the basic GPP resulted from the great sensitivity...
What restricts a tropical evergreen forest?Limiting Factors:Every ecosystem on the planet has limiting factors that prevent the plants and animals in the region from attaining unlimited growth and numbers. These limiting factors can be abiotic, like the quantity of sunlight, but also can be biotic...
What is the biodiversity of a forest biome? What are some endangered species in a temperate deciduous forest? What is the rainforest ecosystem? Where are tropical evergreen forests most often found? What is the tallest tree in the Amazon rainforest?
The forest in our study area is categorized as Afromontane moist evergreen forest (Friis et al., 2010) and covers an area of 363 ha. The forest consists of three different forest habitat types, intact natural forest, disturbed natural forest, and plantation forest. The natural forest is...

The Tropical Dry Evergreen Forest (TDEF) of India is only found on the south eastern seaboard of the peninsular. It has a very limited range, and extends only 60 km inland. The TDEF occurs in an area of high population density and consequently it is the rarest type of forest ecosystem...
islands and Madagascar as shown in Fig.3. Among those, we found that only five (Ogasawara subtropical moist forests, Luzon montane rain forests, Luzon rain forests, Mariana’s tropical dry forests and Nansei Islands subtropical evergreen forests) are fully adapted to high (H) intensity storms ...

1b,c). Based on the MODIS MCD12Q1 land cover type product, the study region is dominated by only one PFT type, broadleaf evergreen tropical trees, which results in a nearly homogeneous distribution of EFs for model simulations. Although there are small percentages of other PFT (for example...
(Terborgh, 1992). These geophysical conditions conduce to forested landscapes with a physiognomy similar to theAmazonwetevergreen forest. In areas of lowlandtropical forest(e.g., Amazonia), minimum changes in temperature between summer and winter and continuous heating coupled with the high...
