Tropical forest responses to climate change: What long-term field studies can tell usTo accurately project with process models the future source/sink status of tropical forests requires field-quantifying their climatic sensitivities - i.e., the amount of change in a given forest process associated ...
Tropical rainforests in the world harbor an astonishing range of plant species. This is clearly reflected in the Amazon rainforest, which is home to more than 40,000 plant species. The presence of a hot, humid climate enables these plant species to thrive. Some plant species grow pretty quick...

sustained ground measurements have provided unique insight into its impacts and helped quantify forest sensitivity to climate change. Our analysis suggests that many South American forests are vulnerable to temperature increases
In this article, we’ll provide all the information there is to know about the tropical rainforest biome. From its climate to information on precipitation, plants, and animals living there, there’s so much in line for your consumption!

Tropical dry forest, biome of any open woodland in tropical areas that have a long dry season followed by a season of heavy rainfall. In such a seasonal climate, the trees usually shed their leaves during the dry season and come into leaf at the start of
With all these kinds of plants, and with trees falling and making gaps where regrowth proliferates, the three-dimensional structure of the forest is complex. Despite the fairly uniform climate, flowering, fruiting, and leaf production are somewhat seasonal. In the other tropical forest types ...
